I’ve always wanted to write in diaries… to chronicle my life in an epic and important way, a la some melodramatic romantic heroine of old (I was an English Lit major… give me a break ;)).
… but F*ck it… melodrama is a bit too time-consuming and it doesn’t work well as a mom, so I’ve turned to “one-liners” (and this blog) to document my days here on earth.
Chronicle books has made the journey of the journal easy, accessible, drama free, and dare I say… FUN… with their line of journals and notebooks for literally, every age and occasion. Most of them require only a line or two to get the job done, which works for most of us when we have too many jobs to do…
Here are few of my faves… I hope my future generations find me witty and worthwhile… or at least worth a smile :).
Turn your failures into life lessons with this humorous take on winning and losing. I’d love to get this for my kiddo when he is a teen… “failures” should be tempered with a dose of good cheer, not laced with fear, and this would be a great way to teach that mindset.
I have this on my desk because it looks pretty… but I HOPE to turn it into something witty!
This is a must-have for any mom and dad! Before sentences are even formed, mispronunciations abound and are worth hundreds of giggles per memory found!
More of a catch-all for my design ideas… good thing I like Tangerine! What color do you think 2013 will bring?
This one sounds melodramatic and important, until you open it up and see a sketch of my former cat shitting on my bed. Ahhhhh… a picture (or sketch) is worth a thousand &#%!@?! words!
