My own children reinforce this theory as well. When we get pages back, they always want me to read them...and then reread them. When I write to my children, I really try to write from my heart. I want them to always know how much I love them and how much I enjoy them...not just now but I want them to know this years from now when they look back on their childhood.
One of the more simple ways that I have enjoyed journaling is by making a list. Every year, I do a page for each of my children that highlights their personalities, hobbies, likes, dislikes, things they say...you get the point. It is just a list of random little things that I don't want to forget. Each stage passes so quickly and it is my way to take a "snapshot" of their life right now. This technique is so easy and I think it is so valuable. I am including the three pages that I made this week for my kids. I created the entire page first and then I just sat back and wrote about every little detail about their life at this stage of the game. This is my kind of journaling...no worries about sentence structure...no worries about grammar...just a simple brainstorm that took about 10 minutes tops. This technique can be used for anything....you, your spouse, your home, your job, a difficult situation you are going through...a trip....anything. I think you should give it a try. I know that I will be using it again and again.

I hope you give this a try. I think you will agree it is an easy technique that certainly allows you to record a lot of meaningful details. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
