I love keeping track of memories, but I fail horribly at their organization. I have yet to start my 19 month old’s scrapbook and I have tons of photos waiting for their place in an album. When I received the Journal 10+ to review, I was excited because I could finally keep memories in one place with very little effort.
The Journal 10+ is a notebook that allows you to record 11 years worth of accomplishments, feelings, thoughts, and other momentos on its pages. The first thing I noticed when I received the book is who sturdily it has been put together. The “leatherette” cover will protect the pages and the sewn binding will keep it from falling apart with normal wear and tear. The daily pages cover a single date for 11 years.
Every day, you simply sit down for 5 minutes and record the day’s activities. It hasn’t taken me very much time at all to keep it updated, though I feel accomplished even when I write sentences about our day. As the journal is filled out, you can reflect back on what you did on that same date in previous years. I love this layout, as it’s neat to be able to see where you were and what you were doing on that exact day several years before. There are even carryover pages in the book, should you need more than 4 lines for any given date.
Each year has a page dedicated to goals and aspirations for the upcoming 365/6 days. You can fill this in alone or with your family. At the end of the year, you can then reflect back on your initial goals to see what everyone has accomplished. It’s also a handy page of reference throughout the year so you can be sure to achieve the goals you have set.
The Journal 10+ book also has sections for you to keep up with special occasions or events, like doctor’s appointments, vehicle maintenance needs, birthdays, anniversaries, and addresses. All in all, it is a very helpful book in remembering past events and sharing them with your family in the future.
Buy It: You can purchase your own Journal 10+ on their website, www.journal10.com.

About Kecia
How awesome?! I love journaling (and it’s one of the main reasons why I started my blog) so this is right up my alley. I can’t wait for your giveaway.
I love this journal! I need a good journal and this seems to do the trick! Thank you!
Great Review! Can’t wait for the Giveaway I will be sure to watch for it to go live! I really regret not doing a better job of writing down the memories for my kids! My oldest just turned 5 and I have yet to finish his baby book scrapbook much less start on the one for my 2 year old!
I have often thought of journaling and this seems to be the perfect journal for me. The extra sections for special events is a necessary item for forgetfull me.
This looks so appealing to me. I would love to have one. Thanks for the review.
This would be fantastic for my daughter-in-law!! She is always talking about a journal.
I Would love to have one i love it
Wow! I’ve never heard of this, how fun would it be. Every day you could look back at what happened over the last few years on that specific day. How fun! Would be great for family memories.
this is really neat .i need one.I think it would be really cool to tell or show your child what they did on a specif day later in life
Wow how unique! I think this would be a good motivator to write everyday!
This journal would be perfect for me because now that I have two kids I can rarely find time to record my life. I used to be an avid journaler and now I’m lucky to record a facebook status. Thanks for introducing me to the Journal 10+!
i wish I would have had these when my boys were little! It’s so easy to forget things when there are sooo many things to remember!
My daughter said she wanted one of these because someday she wanted to give her kids a look at what her life was like. I loved this idea and made me so happy she is looking at the future!
i like the page for your goals. great journal
This would be perfect for keeping notes and memories. I scrapbook, but sometimes I forget details. I love writing so this would be great
the first 11 yr journal i’ve ever seen, neat!
I would love to start one of these and leave it for a keepsake for my daughter…
I love that you can fit so much in it! 11 years is a long time!
I have been keeping a journal for many years now and this is a very impressive journal notebook. After reading your review of The Journal 10+ I would love to own one and I know my Mom would love it also who has kept journals since she was in her teens.
I never thought about doing this before now, but this is a very cool idea. Imagine looking back over the years. Heck, I get teareyed just reading backwards on my facebook at special moments! LOL
This is so neat – I’ve been horrible about keeping up with my kids’ memory books but I think something like this would keep my streamlined and I love the fact that is for 11 years!
I’ve never seen one like this before, but as a writer, I would adore it!
