The Skims mogul explained how the birthday letter works on a recent episode of On Purpose With Jay Shetty. "It's so fun to see from the first year now," she revealed of the four- to five-page-long letters that she writes for her kids. "One of them is almost 10 years old. And I know that they'll appreciate this."

It sounds like Kim includes all the highlights from the year in each note

For each year that goes by, Kim carefully keeps track of "who their friends are, silly words they're saying, their favorite foods, all the silly things they do, and a little journey of what the year is like," she explained.

Now that she's been doing it for a while, she finds it especially thrilling to see how big the stack of letters has gotten.

Kim admitted that she's a bit of a strict parent, and she hopes that someday her kids will be able to look back on these letters and understand where she was coming from all these years.

"I know that they'll appreciate everything, even if they might have thought I was being a little harsh on them," she explained. "I know that they'll get it because I got it with my mom. I know they'll get it with me."

We're sure Kim's kids are going to love this when they're older

Kim shares her children — 9-year-old North, 7-year-old Saint, 5-year-old Chicago, and 4-year-old Psalm — with ex-husband Kanye "Ye" West. These kids obviously want for nothing, so Kim's letters are a touching way to ensure that they have something special in the future.
