I once saw a story about a dad who journalled for years about himself, his family. He said the entry that made him the saddest to write was the day he told his wife and son he lost his job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-journal-for-me-or-for-lo#post-483563 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 07:50:54 +0000 Cherrybee 483563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a lovely idea! Perhaps you could include both? Write from your heart about your thoughts and your day but include things about LO too, like milestones or funny things she did? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-journal-for-me-or-for-lo#post-483431 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 00:11:43 +0000 Bao 483431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep a journal for LO, but it's geared towards her. I'm just not that interesting ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-journal-for-me-or-for-lo#post-483397 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 23:22:38 +0000 Rubies 483397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking the same! I think I might start a journal and just write one-liners every day...For myself. Everything now seems to be about the LO so this could be something we do for ourselves! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-journal-for-me-or-for-lo#post-483391 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 23:17:32 +0000 LemonLong 483391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a 5 year journal going and we gear it towards our LO. My husband is actually the one who writes in it, so it will be a little more unique since its coming from Dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-journal-for-me-or-for-lo#post-483386 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 23:12:53 +0000 kiddosc 483386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of think it would be more interesting for her if you make it about you. It sounds like you already have a ton of photos of her. I know I would be more interested in reading my Mom's thoughts about her life when I was young than I would be in reading about my small milestones as a really young child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-journal-for-me-or-for-lo#post-483342 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 22:24:49 +0000 heffalump 483342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I decided to start a journal where I write something interesting that happens every day. Plan is to do it for years and next year under the same date on Jan fifth ill write down what happened that day, and ill compare the different years. I think it'll be fun to look at say five to ten years from now. </p> <p>But I'm thinking I should gear it more towards lo so I can give it to her when she grows up. I wasn't going to because I tend to make everything about her and already do a picture a day of her.... But I just feel like it would have more of a purpose. </p> <p>What do you think? </p>
