What would you give to have the daily details of your life last year?
Five years ago?
Ten?
I’m a big-time journal writer.
I always have been. I got my first journal when I was 8 and I remember the day I went to the store with my dad to get it. It had a couple cats on it, which is weird ’cause I am not a cat person and don’t think I ever was. {Maybe all 8 year olds love cats?}
Over the years I have filled volumes of journals- some I wrote in daily (those are my favorite) and some I missed a week (or month!) here and there.
My love for keeping a journal is what actually started my blog. I love the memories it captures, both the big LIFE events and the random details I would have otherwise forgotten. I’m grateful for the days I took even just 5 minutes to record something about my life right then. right there.
I smile a lot when I read things of the past.
I blush with embarrassment sometimes at how silly I might have been in a certain situation.
I relive those moments and burn their memories even deeper in my mind.
And I grow even stronger as I see the struggles I have overcome.
You can probably imagine my excitement when this pretty little package came in the mail for me over the weekend:
It is called a Daily Documenting book from Paper Coterie (my newest favorite online store!)
These journals are the perfect way to document the beauty of life well lived – one day at a time.
You can personalize these creative books with your favorite photos.
Personalizing mine took 10 minutes and I love the way it turned out! I just grabbed our family pictures from Jessica Downey Photo and dragged and dropped them to the Paper Coterie site- so easy!
I left a couple of the picture areas blank so I can add some pictures of the current happenings as I write about them.
Keep them handy all year long to capture the ups and downs, things that make you smile, and everything you’re grateful for.
This book makes keeping a journal SO easy!
I want to buy 1 for each of my kids.
Take 2 minutes before bedtime and write down 1 or 2 things about your day- that is it!

About Stephanie
Thanks for telling me about his cool site. I made a journal but I can’t seem to get the free welcomejournal code to work. Did it have a time limit?
Hi Emily, I double checked the info from Paper Coterie about this deal, and it says it doesn’t expire until 2015, but it is only good for new customers. So if you have already ordered something from them, it won’t be valid- which totally stinks ’cause I’d like to get my hands on a free journal but I order from them almost monthly!
You know what… that’s exactly what I did. Now I can go back and get one of those instead maybe even both. THanks. I was getting ready to write them and ask.
If you were using it on a documenting journal, it doesn’t work. The code only works on regular journals priced from $16-$18. I had the same problem. Such a bummer that I discovered it after I designed my journal!
Thanks for the clarification Misha! That would have been good to know in the beginning!
