...not only did Clara turn one on Sunday, but I turned the page on the second year in her One Line a Day Book.
I don't do Project Life. But I write it all down, for both my kids.
...It is fun (and sometimes hard) to look back in charlie's book to what we were doing a year, or two years ago. I dread the days in his book in early May leading up to Charmer leaving us. I dread the days that same year after my mom was first diagnosed with cancer. But I still write it down.
That looks like a fabulous book. :) Thanks for sharing!

Good Morning. You are very wise to write it down. The photos will always happen, but the words are so important. My children are all adults nearing 30, and it was before the scrapbook/project life/journal days. I only have their baby books which typically just cover the first year. And spotty at that. These journals are precious, no matter if it's good days or terribly sad. Keep up the good work.

this is a great idea, I used to always write letters to my kids on their birthdays and half birthdays and then I started scrapping, and just used my journaling. How special this will be to Charlie and Clara someday to read, it will make them feel so loved...so wish I had something like this when I was young, my parents passed away before I was 10 and I have no remeberance of anything really, you are doing something so good for them :)

Not familiar with this book at all until your post. It looks like a fun way to keep up with memories.

You are so disciplined. What a treasure for your kids.

That is awesome, L :) I've started a journal, but mostly the entries are like, "Please stop taking all my energy and I promise you can have candy everyday..." :D

Você não sorrir, a semeadura idioma, a cultura, regada com suor, com os esforços para hidratar, alisar muito bem escrito, a declaração do controle de texto com lápis de cor, eu admiro muito

I love that you do this!
I started journals for both of mine when I was pregnant with them. They are now 12 and 11 and I have filled 3 for my 12 year old and 2 for my 11 year old...so happy I did this and wish I had even written MORE down!!!
