I am a lawyer, mother of twins, writer and creator of the Instagram profile @mae_le_pra_mim . Children's literature is my great passion and one of the reasons I created the profile was to record the books I read with my children, so that I can always relive our impressions of the works in the future.

"I have had the habit of recording everything since I was little, through photo albums, travel notebooks, daily diaries. When my children were born, the desire to record every second increased (after all, they change so much every day that passes...)."

And something I have been doing with my children that brings me great joy is recording important aspects of their school life. At the end of each semester, I gather pictures of what marked the period that has just passed and put them in an album made especially for that. It is time to remember everything they have experienced and achieved, to prepare ourselves for a brand new semester.

The album contains photographs that I took of my children and those sent through the school portal, as well as comments from teachers about activities they did or events that were worth recording. I print everything on photo paper and stick it together with double-sided tape on the pages of the album.

There is also space here for their crafts, like these bookmarks I got for Mother's Day and the letters they “wrote” when they were in the first year of school.

One idea I had was to print (on paper) their report cards each semester, which are a snapshot of their current learning moment, what they have already achieved and what still awaits them.

And the coolest thing about having the album recording everything is the moment when I sit down with my kids at the end of the year and we relive each moment.
