This weekend I did something that I haven’t done in a few years: I sat at the dining room table with my daughters while working on a project. My youngest started bullet journaling earlier this year and I loved how she has created her own planner with a creative flair. The concept of journaling appeals to me as each planner I have tried does not quite suit my needs.
My intention had been to start my own bullet journal in the beginning of 2020 and have been watching plenty of YouTube videos for inspiration. Last week, however, I decided to begin for this month – why wait? So on Saturday I picked up my pencil and started planning my first ever page. The music was playing and my girls were chatting to me. There was a very festive air around the table while we were drawing and counting.
I love the way my first pages turned out. And even though I made errors, I see these as being a part of the journaling experience. The bonus? It was definitely spending time with my teenage girls, listening to their choice of music and swapping anecdotes. We were all smiling the entire time. 😀
What made you smile during the past week?

It’s such a positive experience to share with your children – sharing creative moments together!

We used to do draw and craft together often while they were growing up. Once they hit middle school, though, it petered out due to their workload.

For them it was the school work. Both are very studious (and have parents with high expectations 😀 )

It is Jo. I decided to go for a splash of colour even though my daughter prefers black and white.
