One Question a Day for Moms: A Five-Year Journal: Daily Reflections on Motherhood

I know the value of journaling but for the stage of life I’m in with little kids, the thought of creating enough time to journal in a traditional way coupled with trying to “think of what to journal” honestly was just too overwhelming for me. This was a recommendation from a like-minded friend and it really delivers exactly what I was wanting. I love the simple prompts. I love that it’s something I can actually keep on top of and guess what? I actually look forward to doing this daily! (WIN!) I love that it gives me 5 consecutive years in one journal, and it will be fun to go back and see how I’ve changed over the years this journal will span. Also, as someone who lost a parent as a child, I’ve spent the majority of my life wishing I had more to connect me; I can see this potentially becoming something maybe my kids will treasure after I’m gone and they can learn a little bit more about their mom. I even gifted one of these to a friend and she has loved it just as much as I have! This would also make a great baby shower gift or a gift for someone who just brought home a child.

The media could not be loaded. Looks just as cute as the picture. I love that this journal has a good quality feeling with pretty and simple details. It's the perfect way to record a little each day, and to see how those little things compare year after year. The ribbon bookmark is a great little detail as well. The questions are thoughful and brief. Some of the questions ask about a partner (see photo), but if you don't have one you could apply it to someone else in your life. All in all, something I will treasure.

I have the Question a Day book for kids and love it. I found this one for me to go through too which makes this even more fun. I have only done 1 day so far but flipping through the book has me really looking forward to filling out this book and giving it to my daughter when she grows up. The only negative would be how stiff the book has been bound. It makes it very hard to open the book flat which would make it a lot easier to write in the book. I'm trying to flatten it open but I'm not sure it will ever really relax. The ribbon book mark is a nice touch. I do recommend this to any parent who is sentimental. We only have 1 child and she will be our only so this will be a way to let her know just how special and wanted she is.

This daily 5 year mom journal is one of my favorite purchases. I am able to create memories of lifetime with it.

This is a great little book. Actually, it is not "little" but a perfect small-mid size book to keep on your nightstand or to put in your purse/diaper bag/tote. It is small enough to not take up too much space, yet big enough that it is easy and comfortable to write in (and to read from). Each page corresponds to a different day of the year starting with January 1, and there are 4-line entries for each of the years (5 in all). At the top of each page is a different question for each day, covering topics of motherhood, your children, your growth, your family, etc. Some are easy and fun to answer, while others require more thought. You write in the year and there is just enough room to write a generous sentence to respond to each question. The questions are diverse enough that, collectively, you can end up really showing a full portrait of who/where you've been by the time you are finished with the book. I appreciate that this is easy to pick up and fill out at the end of each night (or whenever you happen to have a free moment). The questions are fun to think about and answer - a nice opportunity to take a reflective pause - but the physical and mental burden is low. Perfect for busy and tired moms.My only nit picky complaint (well, more like an observation) is the fact that the following 2 questions appear in the mid-January entries: "How have you changed as a mom this year?" and "What memories have you made this year?" These seem to be questions that would be more appropriate toward the end of the year/book, not in the first 2-3 weeks of the year. Of course, you could interpret those questions to mean "How have you changed over the last 365 days?"/"What memories have you made in the last 365 days?"The cover is cute and nice enough (with durable cover) - not the fanciest or high end but nice enough. Overall, a nice keepsake and a good gift idea.

I bought this journal for a friend and I fell in love with it, so I bought myself one. I seriously love it! I am going to purchase one for my mom and all my siblings on mothers day. It is great for us moms who do not have a long time to write a page in a journal everyday. I like that I can write just a couple sentences and will be able to look back and remember what was happening in my life for 5 years. I also love the prompts to get my brain thinking on what to write about. I highly recommend this journal to all the mommies out there!

Great gift or buy one for yourself: interesting questions!!

On a budget for the holidays this year but I wanted to get my sister in law something heartfelt. Her reaction to this exceeded my expectations. She is a busy working mom with three kids, so the format of this journal is PERFECT. The book only asks that you write about a sentence a day, and it tracks your repsonses for 5 years. Good questions like, "if you could pack up the family and go on vacation right now, where would go?". Definitely will be an insightful project for her to reflect on.The book is quality- not cheaply made. Great purchase!
