GOOD FINDS // the BEST childhood history journals

As parents, we always imagine ourselves filling out our baby’s special moments and milestones throughout their years of growing up. For me, there was always a guilt and pressure of forgetting to record all the little things. You might be able to relate …unless you’re a pro-journaler, props to you!

Shortly before my first was born, I discovered Promptly Journals …and now, these journals are my go-to-gift for expecting parents. I have a few on hand at ALL times.

ONCE A YEAR PROMPTS = A TOTALLY DOABLE COMMITMENT

What I love about these Childhood History Journals is that it goes from pregnancy to 18 years old. You can keep the journals or gift it to your child when they enter the “adulthood” part of life, which so painfully gets here so much sooner than we all realize ..until it’s here. I am about nine years into these journals and there are SO many little mundane things I forgot about.

Each year on their birthdays, I spend some time reminiscing on things I would have otherwise not remembered. Now I get to forever relive them.

OTHER REALLY AMAZING PROMPTLY JOURNALS WE LOVE

JOURNALS FOR KIDS, CONNECTION, SELF-CARE, LOVE STORIES, ADOPTION JOURNEYS, TRAVEL JOURNEYS, PARENT-TO-CHILD JOURNALS, AND SO MUCH MORE

I can’t wait to snatch up the journals for my two big kids now that they’re able to write well and communicate their feelings in appropriate, non toddler-tantrum style ways.

My biggest fear as a parent is that the younger generation will not have the tools needed for true communication. We are overloaded with so much content on a daily basis and it’s difficult, as an adult, to navigate what my mind allows in and what I have to say no to. Our children will have a virtual world at their finger tips and it is our job, now more than ever, to teach them the simple, yet critical task of raw communication. These journals allow that.

THERE’S A JOURNAL FOR YOU, MY FRIEND.
