Day to day, month to month, year to year



 When I was pregnant with Sophie I started to journal. I wrote all about my pregnancy and took pictures each week.

When she was born I continued this journal every few weeks or so. I'd just write down a few things, usually before bed of what she is doing right now.

This has been an incredible resource to me and countless friends to try to "remember" back on what/where? what age they should be starting certain things, or they will ask me what I did?

How the heck can I remember something 2 years ago? I can barely remember last week!!

I've done this journal for Grace and now with Hope. Its because of this journal that I can look back at the 7 month mark of each of my girls and see where they were. I can then compare to where Hope is and remember what the next stage is.

Being a first born child my mom wrote in great detail about me. Just for a few months BUT oh, how I love going over those details NOW! I'm so thankful she did that. Even just for a few months.

So even though some nights I just want to go to sleep I take the 2 minutes and write about Hope, what the girls are up to and how the day was. I know in 20 years we will be having MANY laughs about this journal. AND what a cool keepsake it will be when my girls start having babies......eeeeeeeppp!
Lord help us all.

Do you journal? I'm finding especially in this day and age (what am I 90?) that no one PHYSICALLY writes anymore? when was the last time you wrote something that wasn't a LIST? or a birthday card? Think about it........
I betcha if you take the time to write someone a handwritten note it would just make their day!!

Enjoy the day
