January 10, 2014
It's the beginning of a new year and I wanted to start a new tradition in our family. Since I have such young kids, I wanted to do better about writing down all the wonderful, silly, funny things that happen. I have never been good at keeping a journal. I tried when I was young; I read through it and about every third or fourth entry I would promise myself that I would do better and write in it everyday. I wouldn't even last a week! Then my next entry would be dated months later. I know myself, I know I won't write down each day what happened. I came across the idea for this memory jar here. It is PERFECT for me! I can keep it in a visible spot to remind me through out the day, I can take a minute and record whatever moment just happened that I don't want to forget. To make it even easier, I added post-it notes and a pen to the container, so I won't have to go searching for a piece of paper and pen. No excuses!
I found this container in the kitchen storage section at Walmart.
It's about 4 inches x 4 inches.
I found these Sticky pen holders at Wal-Mart, they work great!
I used a full sticky back Post-It Note Pad to attach to the container, then added regular Post-Its on top.
I'm excited to read and remember all the moments that made this year great next January!
Happy 2014 to everyone!
