A few years ago we fell in love with the MomAgenda School Year Journals, so much so that I raved about them everywhere, from my own kids' classes to the TODAY show (where I also confessed my inability to maintain even a baby book). So I thought it was so clever to discover that this year they've come up with a new version, just for you parents of athletes and athletes-to-be.
The Sports Years Memory Journal has 14 folders for storing those rosters, certificates and other mementos, from a pre-k soccer club, through Varsity anything. On each one, there's space for you can record stats, highlights, teammate names and other info. Kind of like a baby book. Only your baby is rowing stroke side row 7, or mastering kip cast handstands on the uneven bars.
I love that the color is a decidedly gender neutral red, and for an extra $4.95 you can have it personalized with your kiddo's name. Because championship trophy or not, I'm sure what your kid will treasure most as she grows up is knowing that you supported her all the way. -Liz
