Make a Coffee Table Book That Mom Will Treasure
Photo books don’t have to be about family. 
They can be about any topic that moves you — or Mom, in this case. What does she like? What would she appreciate? Make her a coffee table book that she’ll show to everyone.
Suggestions for Photo Book Subjects
Here are a few ideas to get you thinking about the possiblities:

- Favorite Poems (today I have Haiku poems featured on photo book pages)
- Favorite quotations with photos
- Flower Gardens
- Mom & Child photo moments
Get started on a special coffee table book for this Mother’s Day. She’ll just love it!

The memory holds our perception of who we are. It tells us where we’ve been, what we’ve done, who we’ve known and how we have viewed the world throughout our lifetime. The most disconcerting thing about memory for someone with Alzheimer’s disease is that what it knows today may be gone tomorrow as if it never existed.
Keeping memories alive with a photo memory book
As a friend or relative of an Alzheimer’s patient, you can spark your loved one’s memory with photos and stories of their life. You can build a digitally-created memory book from current family photos together with old pictures and clippings from family albums. You might even consider making several books, each covering one aspect of the person’s life. When someone visits your loved one, they can share the memories together, page by page.
