Perfect for new moms
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
When my son was first born, the hospital advised us to record all of the diaper changes and feedings (the best advice since I could barely remember if I had brushed my teeth!) At first I tried to make do with a pad and pen but it was just so uninspiring. Then, I recieved this as a gift and was so grateful to have a pretty place to record all of his daily activities. I really enjoyed seeing something pretty for those few moments and the inspirational quotes are really interesting. I just wish it was easier to find! I think this is no longer in print and it's such a shame! My mom was a little surprised that I would use such a beautiful journal for recording pee and poop but honestly, what else do you have time for with a newborn?
Best Mother's Journal I've found
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
My sister, who also wrote a review, gave me this journal during my pregnancy with my first son. I have been searching for another one like it for my second son. I haven't found ANYTHING comparable. I like that it's a not a "yearly" calendar with printed dates. You write in your own dates, I was also able to use it into the second year. There's plenty of space to jot your thoughts down and/or your child's accomplishments, yet is intimate enough to not be intimidating or overwhelming like most of the other journals. I highly recommend this journal.
A Treasure for Mother and Child
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I received this for my first mother's day and have delighted in sharing it with family and friends who also journal in it with me. It is a lovely, lovely keepsake and I am desperate to find another one like it for my daughter's next year. So far, NONE compare.
A wonderful gift for new mothers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I received this book as a baby shower gift after the birth of my second child. It is a beautiful book with famous paintings and quips by various authors that also serves as a diary. I preferred this over the more traditional baby books as it gave me an opportunity to write down my thoughts about my son in a non-standard format. I have since given it to several other new mothers as a way to celebrate the birth of their babies. I highly recommend it!
