New Parents should do this EARLY in their journey.

Lineage is not just for parents and grandparents, we can also create memory books for new parents and their children.

The beautiful journey of parenthood is full of moments and milestones that you'll want to remember and share with your child as they grow, but life and sleep deprivation might make it tough to remember certain details as time passes. Lineage offers a unique and heartfelt way to capture these precious memories, allowing you to record your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in your own voice in response to thoughtfully designed prompts. As your child grows, these stories will create a priceless collection of personal tales, full of comedy and love. Here are some of the prompts that Lineage has to help you create a memory book that you and your child will cherish forever.
