Before You cover

Create a time capsule of your life!

More than 200 fun, inspiring prompts help you record who you are right now, so you can share that person with your future child.


As a parent-to-be, you’re facing a lot of adjustments: new interests, new anxieties, new habits and routines, even a new name—all of them related to your kid. But you’re more than just Mom or Dad! You’re a unique, vibrant, complete individual—and that won’t change, even when the rest of your life does.

More than 200 entertaining writing prompts will inspire you to create a perfect gift for a curious kid and teach them that parents are people too. Fill them in on details like:

  • The coolest place you ever traveled
  • Something that makes you mad
  • Your best hidden talent
  • Your secret hideout as a kid
  • The greatest costume you ever wore
  • And more questions they might never think to ask!

With prompts about your memories, your feelings and values, your goals and dreams, and everything that makes you a special person, Before You is a gift for every type of family—one that will only become more treasured as your child grows.
