I know there are a lot of moms on here. And dads too, but I am guessing a lot of moms. As moms, we know how quickly time passes, and how we wish we could remember some of the daily things that happen - thinking we wont forget - but then we do. Im one of those moms. My memory is getting so bad. Seriously. Once it happens or it passes through my hands, its shelved somewhere in the back of my brain, never to be remembered accurately again. Ill remember pieces, but the details? I wish. So, this year we are choosing to do something as a family. Briefly journal together each night at the dinner table. Ive always journaled on and off since I was kid. My blog has turned in to my personal journal, but it doesnt capture the meaningful family events, or randomness that happens regularly. Every night we already talk about our days - good, bad, interesting. This gives us an opportunity to capture maybe a couple of things that happened and document it - as a family. And the journal is set up in such a way that you can capture important events not just for a year but for 5 consecutive years - thus the company name, Five Little Lines. The thinking is to capture something simple in one sentence each day for 5 years. Simple. It doesnt have to be hard. Anyway, Im sharing it with you because I am all about creating family traditions, memories, and making our lives at home more meaningful. There is so much crap in the outside world - that little things like this can make a profound effect. AND if you dont have a family, arent married, or arent interested in using it like we will be, think outside the box. I thing when I was younger, as a teenager, or even in college this would have been an awesome way to plan and track my progress. Cool company, awesome product, and wanted to share. Hope you enjoy it too.
