StoryWorth for iPhone – record family stories and print them as a book 10 years ago

My mom looks forward to her StoryWorth questions and puts a lot of thought and time into writing her answers. Even though I may have heard some of the stories growing up, I've discovered so much more through her StoryWorth responses. For example, I knew that one of my mom's favorite toys was her doll, but when StoryWorth asked, "What were your favorite toys as a child?" my mom replied with a 465 word response! I learned much more detail: "I didn't have a lot of toys as a child because of my family financial situation...but I remember when I was about five years old, my father got a chance to study in the US. When he came home after a year he brought me a big surprise. I got a beautiful doll, you can imagine how happy I was. It was a boy doll because a boy doll was cheaper than a girl doll. She didn't have a princess dress or long blonde hair, but I was still very excited..." I really cherish the stories and hope to share with my children one day.
