You wont see many book reccommendations on here as I am not an avid reader. Reading makes me sleepy, I tend to get bored easily, and in true American fashion, if it's that great I'll just wait for the movie. I did however read The Hunger Games last year and thought they were amazing! So score 1 for this girl. Clearly my taste is very mature. ;)
Anyways, I found this book on Pinterest before Christmas and its quickly become one of my favorite gifts! You can buy it on Amazon for about $12. If you're not a mom, or a fan of pink, there's another version that's just called "One Line A Day" it is exactly the same just blue.
So what is this wonderful book?
It's a 5 year journal. I know, I can't read a book for a week but I'll write in one for five years, ridiculous right? Wrong. At the top of each page is a date (i.e. January 10th) then below it are 5 sections of about 6ish small lines. On each section there's a space to write the year. So each day you turn to the current day's page, fill in the year and write a quick note about what happened that day, a funny thing the kids said, milestones, etc. And when you fill in the new year's space you can go back and read what's happened in the previous ones. Kind of like my memory jar but more compact and detailed.
I started mine on Christmas Eve so it'll be full on December 23rd, 2017. That seems crazy far away!! Izzy will be 9 and Elly will be 5! It should be really fun to see all the things they do until then.
Another great thing about this book is it's really not that big. You could easily put it in your purse or diaper bag. I keep mine on my nightstand and write in it before bed. It literally takes 2 minutes. That's my kind of book!
If you don't have kids to write funny stories about I'd still get one! How fun would it be to write about things going on with you and your spouse, school life, or all the events leading up to getting meeting "the one" someday. It truly is a book for everyone... even guys.
So that's my first unofficial plug for a product... I think they should pay me for such a rave review. Don't you?
I hope you're all having a great week. It's almost the weekend which means more thunder basketball!!
