Mom & Me, Now That We're Both Grown

About this book

For the mom who says she has everything, and the grown daughter who wants more time with her.

Mom & Me, Now That We're Both Grown is a pass-back journal for mothers and adult daughters. One of you writes, you hand the book back, and the other answers. Page by page, you learn the stories you never got around to telling each other.

A thoughtful Christmas, birthday or Mother's Day gift that doesn't need batteries, and doesn't end up in a drawer.

What's inside

- 105 guided prompts and pages across 8 chapters, from the years before you to letters for the future

- Mom and Daughter take turns, with a whose-turn cue at the bottom of the pages

- Chapters on growing up, things you've never said, what you admire in each other, hard seasons, recipes and traditions, and a bucket list for two

- 50 this-or-that pairs for quick, funny warm-ups

- Recipe cards, sealed notes, letters to open later, and photo pages for then and now

- A "how to use it" page, a started-on and passed-back-on log, and a page of gentle agreements: skip any prompt, no pressure, nothing forced

- 120 pages at 7 x 10 inches, with lined space to write

Warm, not sappy. The prompts are honest and easy to start, and they leave room for real families. Living far apart? The how-to-use page shows how to share the book by mail.

Write in it, pass it back, and keep it. One day it will be the book you both reach for first.
