I spent today in my journal listing out teachers that I could remember. It was harder than I thought. I remembered my elementary teachers and in middle school and high school I remember certain ones….but then I draw a blank. I know if I dig through some papers and report cards I might be able to remember the rest….but at least it’s a start so I don’t start forgetting more:
Guess what! Now you can view all the journal prompts and techniques on one page! Click the image below to visit them all:
Oh my…..I’ve neglected The Lil Journal Project! Getting back on track here…..I’ll be posting there here and there….it IS an ongoing project until the end of time (at least my time). It’s never too late to start either! Start from Day 1 or do the days randomly (you can find them day by day and click through to the full post from Pinterest if that’s easier).
Here is Day 36:
At the beginning of the school year in September I started a little book for Boo that we keep in the car and every day on the drive home she has to tell me the most interesting thing that happened that day. The second I pull into the driveway I write it down. It’s been an easy thing to keep up because I keep it in the car and she knows she has to tell me about her day on the way home:
Just wondering if anyone is keeping it up?
I started one of my own recently….it’s a 5-year-journal. (Despite my OCD on these things it starts on January 10th instead of the 1st….yes I’m making progress) I keep it on my bathroom counter. At the end of each day as I’m brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed I have to write down a quick sentence about the day. So next year, on the 13th of January, I’ll be writing a sentence on the same page. If I forget a day it’s easy to backfill since it’s only one sentence! You can find them at almost any bookstore……click here for all the ones they have on Amazon.
Don’t worry, this won’t replace The Lil Journal Project. I’ll start that up again soon! My sister has been hounding me about it too…..
I pulled out an old journal from 2000 and 2001 the other day. Crazy how many things you forget about even in a short amount of time. Boo caught me reading it and begged me to read it to her. It was too juicy to divulge what was in it to a 5-year-old…..so I kind of ad-libbed (sp?) a quick little story. Funny though that her Kindergarten Gossip is almost just as scandalous……she’ll be able to use it to write her memoirs one day. Stay tuned for “Memoirs of a Kindergartner” by Boo Hack coming out next year…..
I wanted to do a version of the DIY Art Kit but for a “journal” version so that it could be used for gifts. My artist friend Stephanie Corfee was so helpful in making the free artwork download for it. She made the large labels and small labels for labeling all the contents! CONTINUE READING
I didn’t have a chance to get this up this morning so think of it as weekend journaling!
I can tell you so many details about where I was on 9/11 and the events that followed that day. I remember the exact second I heard that Princess Diana had been killed in a car crash. The time my sister and I ran out of gas on the way to my mom’s surprise 50th birthday party is etched in my memory permanently. What events stick out in your lifetime? The ones that happened long ago but you still remember every detail as if it were yesterday. Today, make a list of those events, and write out what you remember.
Thanks for being patient with me as I took a little break! I’ll be adding another set of prompts every day this week! Here is day 31….a word association….check out Day 21 here for more information on word association prompts!
