Custom Journal

As you are well aware, I am feeling SOME TYPE OF WAY about sending my BABY off to preschool soon. 🙁 I just can’t believe we are already here. Time flies and it is simultaneously heartbreaking and beautiful to watch. I have been trying to do things that make it really special for me and for him. I found this custom journal on etsy and felt like it would be so special for my husband and I to write him a letter on the first day (and maybe the last day??) of school every year. What a beautiful way to keep record of how your child grows and develops each year!

There were several shops that sold things similar to this but I chose this specific one for a few reasons:

  1. The size feels perfect. It is 5.75″x8″
  2. This one had the most color options!
  3. I think the font pairing is darling
  4. There are 150 lined pages. So that gives us plenty of space for our thoughts! And more room if we wanted to add in some birthday letters, etc.
  5. You can choose black or white font.
  6. You can customize the spine and back of the book, too!
  7. AND THE SHOP GAVE ME AN EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNT CODE FOR YOU!! <3 Use code: MOTHERHOOD15 for 15% off your purchase! XOXO

I ordered the color ‘cloud’ with white type and think it is beautiful! Also, I’m linking my all-time favorite pens. They write so smooth and I refuse to use any other type of pen!!

It's a big oops not having this book in your libra It's a big oops not having this book in your library!

The "book fairy" (as we lovingly call the anonymous stranger who has secretly left books on our porch for a year!) delivered this gem at THE PERFECT TIME (we are potty training over here!). No, this book isn't about toilets and such. But it is a beautiful and accessible message about making the most out of any "oops" that might come your way. It has tabs and pulls and all the tricks that tiny hands love and I'm sure you and your littles will enjoy it just as much as we have!
