My Take On It

When it came to both my pregnancies I used a pregnancy journal to try to keep track of everything. The only problem is the dates aren’t always accurate and you don’t always have a spot to mark stuff down on the correct dates. With the Journal 10+, you not only have room to write something for every day but you have one journal that will hold 10 years of your life in it.

When I was given the opportunity to review Journal 10+ I knew exactly what I would use it for and I specifically asked for the 2011-2021 version so I could back date for this year.  I’m planning to keep a journal of my pregnancy with Xavier and keeping track of his life for 10 years.  Yeah, I kind of already do that on here, but you know I always forget to post right away and then I forget to mark something down or update you all on something.  This way I have it written down and then I can backtrack to see if I missed anything in between posts.

The hardest part for me to get used to on the Journal 10+ is that each page is one day for each year.  For example the very first page for journaling is January 1 and it’s for all 10 years.  So for each day of the year you are writing on a different page and then when the new year comes you start back over from the beginning.  It’s kind of neat that way too, because you can see what you were doing for 10 years straight on any given day.

This will be a great gift for Xavier when he is older and can appreciate everything he’s got in life and how it all started.
