anyways I really wanted to share it with everyone. I think Journaling is so important and I want my kids to read about my life someday and truly feel like they know who I was as a mother as a woman as a kid as a wife as a creative person.
This is a list of ideas to write down for your kids- And I loved its simplicity and thought man I would've loved to know this about my grandma. So For the next couple days that's what I'm going to do. I think it would be fun to read others stories like this also- So do it with me!

  2. Adam and I have a journal that we write letters back and forth to each other. Just short little letters and then we ask a silly question at the end like "describe your dream home" and Adam always comes up with silly answers like "It would be built under ground and the entrance would be through a pool that you would swim through" so that is a lot of fun!
