Journal 10 Review and GIVEAWAY

I have always kept journals ever since I was a little girl.  I had my "secret journal" complete with a lock and key when I was in middle school where I stored all my secret crushes, my hurts and my dreams.  When I went to Russia and Siberia on mission work, I kept another journal to record everything from what I ate, to the people we encountered to my thoughts about every part of my time there.  When I was pregnant with our children, I kept pregnancy journals to document every day of their 9 month growth and then their birth.  Even today, I keep a daily prayer journal and a "1000 Gifts" journal.  I am a journal loving girl!
Journal 10 is a dated ten year journal!  It allows you to hold up to 11 years worth of thoughts and memories in one single volume.  The Journal 10 is extremely well bound so you can tell that it will last and hold up through many years of usage.  It has Smythe-sewn binding and "leatherette" cover making it look very professional and yet designed to last.
Takes just 5 minutes a day
No pressure to fill a blank page
Builds over time into a family memoir
As you make each entry you see what was happening on that day in previous years
Re-reading triggers memories of people, place and events otherwise forgotten
Captures personal and family development and milestones

Journal 10 is also a great reminder.  Since each day of the year is one page you can look back at previous years entries and be reminded of what was happening one year ago that very day.  With its page design, you can either write 4 things in each day's square of space or you can write it all the way across as one entry (like I did in the picture) for each day's journaling.  The Journal 10 can not only be used for journaling but also can be used as a calendar to document appointments, birthdays/anniversaries, record meal plans, use it as a baby book to track a child's progress, chart weather or current events, use it as a travel journal or a combination of some of these.  The possibilities are endless with Journal 10.
Journal 10 also has blank "carryover pages" in the back so you can write more details if you need extra space.  The Journal 10 also includes an address book, special dates section for birthdays/anniversaries, "Keeping Track" section for recording medical, auto or other records and two bookmarks to help mark your place and allow you find your journaling page easily. The Journal 10 is also about the size of a Bible making it easy to carry around with you or fit nicely in a backpack so you can always have your journal to record life in anytime you need it. 

I am super excited to be able to record 10 years worth of memories in one book. I am hopeful that this book will become a treasured keepsake to our children and grandchildren one day when they look back and remember all the things we did during this 10 year time span.  We are leaving to go on the mission field as full-time missionaries with To Every Tribe in July and I look forward to being able to record all our mission opportunities and adventures in one keepsake book. 

Visit the Journal 10 site and check it out for yourself.  Right now you can get the 2012-2022 edition for $39.95 plus FREE 2 DAY SHIPPING. Or you can buy the 2011-2021 journal for $29.95.  Journal 10 has graciously allowed me to give one of you your very own Journal 10 book.  To enter to win, simply fill out the form below!

I write in mine almost every night, about what happened during the day and what I'm thankful for.

I have always wrote in journals. I also like to save certain photos in-between pages. Or, little mementos like ticket stubs, etc.

My blog has become my reading journal, but my memory is so bad that I would like to keep a journal to help me remember this decade better than the last.

I like to write down memorable experiences and lessons learned. I wish I was better at writing in it daily.

I haven't journaled and that makes me kinda sad because I have so many memories from these years of having small kids that I don't want to forget. I'd love this journal here- it looks simple and I love how it's set up.

I use journals to keep track of my scrapbook stuff, or things I want to remember for scrap booking!

I use a journal to keep track of what happens until I can scrapbook it, I usually end up,adding pages to the scrapbook that are straight from the journal, or scanned copies.

I started my first journal/diary when I was 7 and have kept one in some form ever since. I love to record prayers, favorite scriptures, and cute things my daughters say and do. This would be awesome to win!

I generally use my journal to record the events of the day if anything significant happens, or just to record any thoughts or ideas.
