I've spent my entire life wishing I kept a journal. I've had countless failed attempts, I always start with the best of intentions and fizzle out within the first week or so. There are so many wonderful benefits from keeping a journal, I try to tell myself that our family blog is at least some documentation of our lives, but it definitely lacks in some areas.
When I came across the blog marta writes, I fell instantly in love. Her writing style, her simplistic views and documentations. Come to find out she has an amazing little shop. Selling these mini diaries that even I can keep up with on a daily basis. I have to say I honestly love them. I think they are perfect for me. On days that I have more time, I can jot down a few extra things and feel good about my efforts. Not to mention the fact that they are fun to go back and read with the girls.
To make it even more appealing, the covers are just my style. Some print, some color and a small enough size to fit in my purse, glove box, really anywhere I'll be. They'll make the perfect stocking stuffers, but be sure to keep one for yourself.
Extra Goodness: WIN ONE! Leave a comment on this post (any comment) and you'll be entered to win. Monday morning I'll pick and post a random winner, Good Luck!!
These are great! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMe please! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of simplified journaling!
ReplyDeleteOh please, oh please! I need to get back into journaling!

oh, i love these. so perfect for documenting the early days of my baby's life...the small details. and then to save them for her later...they're beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Please pick me! :)
ReplyDeleteIve kept a journal since middle school and the entries are priceless - a little embarrassing, but so relevant to my age and the experiences are timeless....I hope I'll be able to look back and remember what I was thinking and feeling so that I can relate better to my daughter as she grows and learns and hurts and achieves!
ReplyDeleteit is a commitment, so pretty little journals may be the perfect motivation to jot down a thought or two. But, I think BLOGS are virtual journals, too! Ands yours is such a nice chronicle of your journey and what you love:)
These are so cute! Pick me!
ReplyDeletethis is a journal that wouldn't bore/embarrass me years from now!
ReplyDeletei love my daily dose of marta's blog. thank you for this giveaway! these mini diaries are the sweetest! love, lindsay

this is a great way to still leave some personal history behind during this hectic season, well who am i kidding, this lifetime.
ReplyDeleteme please! atpeschultz@hotmail.com
ReplyDeletei adore these. not as much as i adore the beautiful marta's blog though.
ReplyDeletemy attempts at journalling are wordy and over-analytical and not a good record of memories or a creative release.
Fantastic idea! I love the size.
ReplyDeleteI love it! It's perfect!
