Journaling Tip
When Mikey got older, he felt strongly that he have a journal entry for each day. Up until that point, I often made my life easier by helping him create just one journal entry for the weekend or school vacation. That way, he could pick his favorite part and I wasn’t running around every day trying to keep up with journaling.
We did other fun things over the President’s Day Weekend, but Mikey just chose one to use for his journal entry. That left me some fun photos to use later in the week to fill in on any weekdays that might be considered uneventful…
Like tomorrow’s entry about sledding with Will. Stay tuned…it’s a cute one.
