Last week I had a birthday. A milestone birthday.
Yes, that one.
To mark the occasion I decided to get myself a gift.
I first read about it at Simple Mom and knew I had to have one for myself.
I love this little journal so much I decided to gift it to my children's teachers and coaches as a way to say thank you to them before our big move. A little kraft paper and a strip of printed map made for pretty wrapping.
I hope the recipients love this little journal as much as I do.

What a great idea. I've been doing something very similar with my family on just a piece of 4x6 note card paper. I put the month and day on the top of the card (so I'll have 365 cards) and then each day I write the current year and a little something about what happened. Depending on how much I write I should be able to get about 4-5 years on each card. I happened to have the perfect size wooden box to hold all those cards. I know it will be a great keepsake for not only me, but my boys as well.
Your book idea would have been much easier though. :) In fact, my brother just graduated from high school and I think I'll order him one for college. What a fabulous idea. Thanks!
Thanks, Paula! I bet your family will enjoy looking back at the memories you've recorded on the cards. What a great way to capture all those little moments we want to remember! xx
I hadn't realized these were about. I still think I'd manage not to write in it, but it is definitely one of the things I will keep in mind as gifts for others.
