LIFEHACKER with a genius idea for parents... and it's totally unique, too!
Why not track your kid's life milestones... on a tape measure!
This article makes some really valid points for parents:
Just cover the tape with white spray paint or acrylic paint and it becomes a blank canvas, ready for you to document your kid’s many milestones. Using a thin permanent marker, you can add birthday height markers and anything else you can think of—funny quotes from that year, special achievements or favorite hobbies. Call it a “memory stick,” if you’d like. If you have multiple children, you can make a stick for each of them. I’ve started one for my seven-month-old baby Max.
Years later, when your kids graduate high school, you can give them their tape measure—a unique record of their youth. It’s small, portable and can easily go wherever life may take them.
