This week our family made a time capsule.
We put some fun stuff in it:
A token of history-in-the-making.
Grocery store receipts from the week.
Some of the boys' treasures.
Hand- and foot-prints for every family member.
Current events and photos from our household.
Pictures of the house and bedrooms, plus wrappers from our favorite treats.
Surveys of favorites, physical stats, friends, etc., and fun kid artwork.
This afternoon I sealed up the old Amazon.com box (tape and string style) and stuck it in the crawl space. Hopefully we'll remember to dig it out it in five years.
I'm sure it will be a fun discovery when the time comes...

That looks super fun! My kids would love that (well, the big one would). I bet you'll remember to open it. I would forget :)
What you do is write a reminder on the last day of the year, every year. Then you remember to make a note on the calendar and you won't forget......
What a fun project..........
y'all are so clever.
What a cute/fun idea! Sounds like a great FHE project/activity!
What a fun idea. I think you might be the best mom ever!
What a great idea! You need to make a mommy idea blog with all of the cool things you do with your kids. There are so many ideas you've mentioned that I've wanted to write down and remember...and this is yet another one. I hope you enjoy opening it in a few years!
Did you ever open your one from YW?
This is a fun thing come back to.
Genius! There is always something amazing going on in your home! I love it!
I've done that before. It's a fun way to remember the past. Cute idea!
I think our capsule would be full to the brim, just with the favorite snack and treat wrappers.
I look forward to five years from now, and seeing pics of you guys opening the capsule.
Just read your comment on NMH. Can't wait to see the reply.
Haha, neither can I!
What a fun family project! That will be so great to get out in five years! I am already looking forward to that post.
You've always had such great ideas...love this one... I want to borrow!
