by Tracy Broy

Book Overview

Save and savor those precious moments with your child in this journal for mothers.

Customer Reviews

Purchasing a second copy for my new baby

This is a simple yet clever way to journal your young one's life. Each page is split into 2-3 sections so you can write as little or as much as you'd like. It has cute little illustrations to head each section and a date line to write in the day. I began writing in my first son's journal on day one and completed the book by his 18-month. There was no pressure in writing specific events of his newborn days; I just wrote what I wanted to capture.

Great gift for new moms

I like this journal because you don't feel obligated to fill in a whole page at a time. Each page has 3 sections, and so even two or three sentences will do. I'm much more likely to to take 5 minutes to jot a few things down in this journal. I will be purchasing this for a soon-to-be-mom.

Great for Anticipating an Adoption...

I bought this to journal my thoughts & progress of going through the adoption process. I ordered one of the journals specifically intended for journaling the adoption process & didn't really like the journaling prompts that it gave. This is exactly what I was looking for! Each page provides 3 sections where you can write the date & a short journal entry...perfect for documenting our adoption journey!! :) Each journaling entry section has a cute picture next to it.

Perfect

I think this little journal is perfect. There are so many things that happen - you think you will remember, but unfortunately probably won't. None of the baby books have the space to write in all of the cute, fun things they do. I only WISH my mom had something like this for me to read. I would love it. I hope my son enjoys it some day.

Cute and simple

I've been looking for a journal where I could write letters to my son. All the ones I found before this weren't really journals, they were more like baby books where you had to fill out milestone information or put pictures in. I already have a baby book for all that and was really looking for something to write letters to my baby and keep it all together. This book is just that.The Mommy Journal has made it easy and it's wonderfully decorated. There's no frilly stuff and you have enough space to write something without feeling as if you wrote too little. Also included are helpful "thought provokers" or quotes, in case you're not sure what you want to write about or where to start. I recommend it to any mom, expecting, new or experienced. It's a great way to share your feelings and experiences with your child and a beautiful keepsake they will treasure when they grow up!
