Schoolfotoalbum

Every September I used to shove those glossy portraits into a shoebox and forget them, but this journal actually gives them a proper home. The layout has a spot for each year, so I can finally see my daughter grow up page by page instead of photos sitting in the dark.

I was dreading sorting through seven years of school pictures, but this journal made it simple with its dedicated layout and kept them all in one place. The pages are sturdy enough that I don't worry about the kids flipping through them.

Finally got all those school pictures out of the shoe box and into something that actually keeps them safe—the journal pages lay flat when I write the dates, which is a huge relief. It’s got that nice, bound feel that makes me want to actually fill it in, not just stash it away again.
