Making a Special Journal

I'm actually using all three at once... a bit odd.

Not just any Journal! One that is specially for happy, joyful, and even funny moments in your life. The point is, those moments that we cherish in our hearts when saved in writing can be used as a Personal life book, a book of stories based on your own experiences storing the best moments of your life. As you write your memorable stories make sure to keep the dates labeled; so that when your children are of the ages of understanding we can use our stories as bed time stories. Instead of buying numerous books at the store you can read them your very own self written stories.
Share with them moments of your life that made you the person you are today. You may find that your kids may even save your journals to share with their kids, and for many generations.
Of course when reading to your child you have to tampered with the stories a lot based your child's age, but as they become older and have a bit more understanding, you may read it to them as they've written. But I'm for certain that they will definitely enjoy knowing about the most memorable keepsake memories of mommy and daddy's life.
REMEMBER: As you write, do keep in my mind, someday you may be reading these stories to your kids, Therefore, It is best to keep them short, and legibly written for the sake of you understanding what you've written and as children has a short attention span. Also, I suggest to Tittle your stories, and if desire to; have a similar catchy beginning or ending or rather BOTH on all of your stories, that way the child can know that this is definitely mommy or daddy Stories... Good luck.
This great to show you children that you went through trying times as they may go to. Show them that you were once young and can relate. Instead of being that "Dont do that or this"parent. An explaination can come out of you reproach.
