Remento Book Review: Heather W.

Heather discovered that gifting the Remento Book not only allowed her mother to share her stories but also fostered excitement in her children as they connected with their grandmother’s past, enriching their family bonds for generations to come.

Heather purchased Remento as gift for her mom. Her dad was deeply moved by the gift and shared how much she appreciated learning that others in the family wanted to learn about her story. Heather's favorite part, however, was watching her children's excitement as they truly enjoyed learning about their grandmother each week. Get the Remento Book for your family too.

 My mom was totally touched that she gets to tell her stories. For my kids, they're just excited that they get to know who their grandparents are and [for] those [to become] heroes in your life. So these books will be important for later on in the future...I want everybody to do this!

Why I bought the Remento Book

My first Remento purchase was a gift for my father-in-law, but I soon found myself buying another for my mother after my daughter stumbled upon an advert. The appeal for me is in its power to preserve family history, a tool for my descendants to know their ancestors more personally. My mother was extremely touched and couldn't wait to start recording her tales. We're even considering a third book for my dad now.

Insightful prompts and easy for all to use

What caught my attention was the insightful prompts that the Remento Book provided. Many prompted me to ask questions I'd never thought of approaching before with my family. These prompts have a knack for unearthing memories my loved ones admit they wouldn't regularly discuss in casual conversation. It's also straightforward to use; my tech-savvy father-in-law navigated it without any trouble. Even my mom, with my dad's assistance, was quick to overcome her initial nerves and soon embraced the process with enthusiasm.

Remento strengthens family bonds

The goal was for the Remento Book to serve as a repository of stories for my future generations, but it's ended up being so much more. It's offered me fresh insights into my father-in-law, fostering deeper bonds between us. This is exactly what I want for my kids and grandkids – to develop a kinship with all their family members; to relive their stories, trace their life journeys, and learn life's lessons.

An instant family heirloom

The excitement in anticipation for the printed Remento Books is hardly containable. My kids are thrilled at the prospect of each family member contributing their memories to our collection, enhancing our family tree project. We are eagerly looking forward to the end result - having these tangible books filled with family history and cherished stories to hold in our hands and treasure forever.
