One thing I’ve done throughout my whole life has been documenting things!!! I used to journal / diary entry a lot, and with my first I knew one thing I wanted to ensure to do was to track something about my little almost everyday especially for his first year!
Additionally, I’ve found myself continuing the journal I’ve had for years to try and continue to just reflect on where I am on life right now. I’ve been wanting to do journaling a lot more, I’ve been collecting things to be fancier with journaling haha to make it more cute like people do. I’ve found to still be me hehe
I have tried journaling but I’ll start and do good for a few days and then just stop. I do go back and read what I wrote and feel it’s helpful for the most part especially to reflect on!
I totally feel you. I love to journal. I do it everyday. It’s one of my favorite ways to process my thoughts, reflect on my feelings and experiences. Life moves so quickly and as humans, we often forget the little moments that end up meaning the most.
With each of my babies, I have an old school Precious Moments memory book where I document their lives, milestones, and all the little things I never want to forget.
One of the greatest gifts my mom gave me was doing the same for my brothers and me. Every time I read through it I cry in happiness. Seeing what she went through, reading about who I was during my first five years of life & experiencing her love through her words is something else.
