My life as a stay-at-home mom of three children can be a little crazy at times. I have been especially busy the last couple of years with my two-year-old twin girls. They are always keeping me on my toes! At times I feel like I have zero time to get anything done after all the playing, cleaning, and cooking is done. Everything seems to be a work in progress. I just wish I could get caught up, but I am guessing life will always feel this way!
One thing I have been meaning to do but have totally failed at is journaling. When the girls were first born I had memory books for each of them. I would try to take time each week to note their milestones and record special memories. I always seemed to get behind and once the girls turned one, I stopped altogether. It was just too much to keep up with and I felt overwhelmed with feeling like I had to “fill up the page.” I needed something simple and realistic. Something that I could easily get done in just a few minutes each day.
That’s where Journal 10 comes in. This innovative journal makes recording memories simple and it allows you to keep one journal for 10+ years! The really nice thing is each day you are only given a few lines to fill out. This ensures that you are not going to feel overwhelmed, because you don’t have to fill up a whole page or set aside a lot of time during your day to write. You only need a couple of minutes a day, which is totally doable! What’s also really cool is you can easily see what you wrote the year before. Each page features a single day, divided up into 11 sections, one for each year, so at a glance you can see what you wrote the year before!

I like the set up & the idea of saving the most important events in one special book. Would be great to keep for each child & then give it to them on their graduation.

I love this concept. I never could do the whole journaling thing because it felt too time consuming... but with a product like this, where I could write down random thoughts and feelings while also using the journal for other things as well? Count me in!

This is a really cool product! My daughter would love it...her son is almost a year old and she thinks she might be pregnant. If she is, she isnt' going to have time for two baby books. This would make her life so much easier. I hope I win!!
