I have good memories of standing with my back against the wall in our kitchen when I was growing up. My mom would stand on her tip toes and mark my height with a pencil. We'd write my initials and the date to make a lasting memory of how tall I was at different stages. We had dozens of little marks between my brothers and me. We'd compare how tall they were when they were my age. We'd look at the marks on the wall and reminisce about our childhood. Then we moved. The marks were gone. No record of how tall I was at any age. The memories painted over.
I suspect many of you had a similar experience. Unfortunately we move and the memories stay with the old house. I have a creative friend who came up with a great solution. A growth stick. A way to mark those heights and memories and take them with you from house to house. Thankfully she made a great tutorial so you can make your own.
Of course, if you don't want to make your own you can always buy one. There are some really cute (and spendy) options out there! Fortunately for you, I'm giving away one of the cutest ones I've ever seen. If you need a growth chart that is less cutesy and would fit in with your modern furniture, or adult decor this is for you!
