This Mum Is Filming Birthday Interviews With Her Kids Each Year – And So Far, So Adorable

Hope Chambers is filming birthday interviews with her kids each year.

One of my favourite pastimes as a child was watch old VHS tapes back of my time as a toddler.

It was fascinating and I remember being captivated by my younger self in the clips – the one of my ice cream blowing off its cone on Blackpool beach had me in bits every time.

So when I came across Hope Chambers’ video interview with her three-year-old son, I stopped – and I smiled.

The 32-year-old, who’s based in Amsterdam, has made it her mission to film a birthday interview with her children each year as they grow up.

“I’m one of those people who is painfully nostalgic so I love to document life so I can look back on memories,” the mum-of-two told HuffPost UK.

“I thought of this idea before I even had kids because it was something I wish I had of my own life to look back on!”
