If you have a journal for your LO's, is it up to date? I filled out my one line a day journal for a year straight but then got lazy. Starting the 1st of the year I want to fill out at least 80% of the days, since it's a great keepsake for the girls. I just have one I use for little things for both girls. Anyone up to a little challenge of filling out most days this year? Or even keeping up on LO's baby book or other memorabilia?

@Bao: What is this daily journal?!

I suck at all of it. Poor dd2.

Yes! It's nice I can go back and my iPhone gives dates for photos. Between that and my planner it's easy to catch up when need be

@Bao: Ohhh how wonderful!!!!!

My memory book for my daughter was a combo pregnancy/ first year book. Pregnancy and first month was weekly and then just milestones and a page for the big firsts. It's almost complete, but I don't think I'd have the momentum to do a weekly pregnancy book again.
I love my one line a day book now, it's totally achievable to me. Filling it out is part of my bedtime routine each night. I'm excited to start filling out the second entry for each day now

I did, like, 4 days and abandoned it. I suck.

@Bao: I'm up for the challenge! I got that journal in November and have done pretty good keeping up. Not gonna lie...sometimes I do three days at once...
I've also been trying to catch up on her baby book. I have a goal to get it all up to date by her first birthday (Feb).

I have a five year memory book. I'm about 6 months in. I have every day but maybe 2 weeks (not straight) unfilled, but I forget a lot and have to play catch up. I'll do the challenge!

Jan 1 will be starting my 3rd year in the journal. I was a bit more lax this year but have the majority of days filled out.

About 5 years ago I started writing my happiest moment of the day in a journal, and I haven't missed a day. Since my son was born they're almost all about him, so it's a bit the same? I always wanted to keep a diary but never could stick to it until this one, I think knowing it would only take two minutes and making sure I do it every night before bed has been key.

@erinbaderin: holy smokes, that's impressive!
-
I just got that for Christmas!
-
@SweetCaroline: yay, ok! We can update here how we are doing
-
It was gifted to me when DD was 3.5 months so the first 3.5 months I've never gotten a chance to back-fill but I've written daily since then!
-
I've been doing the one line a day journal for the past three years! There are times when I forget to fill it in for a week but then I go back and fill it in to the best of my memory. It's been really fun to look back at what we were doing
-
So my journal is complete for the month of December! I'm excited to start at the beginning tomorrow. I've been using my Staedler fine liners, different color everyday...makes it more fun
