Abstract: A device for recording and displaying events, occurrences, achievements, and milestones in a person's life. The device consists of a base, a tubular section, and a top section. The tubular section spirals upward from the base making five complete spirals. Each complete spiral represents a one year period. At the beginning of each complete spiral, a slot is provided from the insertion of a paper or cardboard tab. The events, occurrences, achievements, and milestones and their dates are recorded on the tabs which are then inserted into the slots. When each of the five complete spirals have received a tab, the top section is removed and an additional tubular section is added. The device allows the events of a person's life to be displayed all at the same time in an organized way without taking up a large space.
