Journal de vie : Maman

Bought this for my mom’s birthday and she’s already filled in half the pages—the one-question-at-a-time format keeps it from feeling like homework. It’s been a nice way for her to share stories I’d never heard before, and the prompts are simple enough that she never gets stuck.

I love that I can skip around and answer whichever question fits my mood that day, the prompts are simple enough that I actually finish a page instead of staring at a blank book. Got one for both my parents and they've both already filled in several entries without any nagging from me.

My mom started on the first page and didn't put it down until she'd answered three questions. It's so easy to jump around to whichever memory hits her that day, and I love that we'll have her handwriting to keep forever.
