Life According to Me (a child's journal) Giveaway // Do you ever wish you could take a peak into your child's young mind and see what it is that makes them think, feel and act how they do? Do you sometimes worry that you're not communicating with them very well or that you might be missing a teachable moment to help them grow, feel safe, and feel loved?

Are you ready to spend time with them individually and no longer miss out on the details of their day?!?

I know parenting isn’t easy… but it is one of the most rewarding things any of us will ever be a part of! (So many ups & downs, am I right?!) I've shared plenty of fun activities on my blog that encourage us to spend time with our children, but the idea I am going to share with you today takes it even one step further.

"Life According to Me" is a darling child's journal written by Stephanie from Somewhat Simple that will help you capture their youth and give you an inside glimpse of your child's thoughts and feelings- all while having FUN!

It's more than a boring journal with lined pages- it is fun & interactive with 30 pages of daily prompts, fill-in-the-blanks, and spaces for kids to draw and doodle. If you can get your kid's creative juices flowing and open the door for communication, you'll catch a better glimpse of what is going on in their little brains.

Perfect for kids of all ages!

Older kids can write their thoughts, little kids can use the space to draw pictures or you can encourage them to do a combination of both!

One of the best features of this journal is the spot on each page for your child to write a letter to you and the space for your response.

{You'll love this amazing portal into your child’s mind!}

They write about ANYTHING they want – from funny things that happened at school, to questions about their science projects and information about their secret crush. Get ready to experience moments of their day that you would have missed and the small details of their lives you could have easily brushed aside. Your response will show your appreciation for them, to make sure they know that you love them. Validate their thoughts so they know they were heard and share bits of wisdom when a moment presents itself. These letters will create a place for you to communicate with each other frequently. Keep It Fun: You don't want this magic passageway to close up or disappear, so keep journal writing fun! Stephanie has the following suggestion that she implemented with her kids: "I decided I would let each of them pick one weeknight where they get to stay up 10-15 minutes passed bedtime and climb in my bed where we can write in our journals, together. It is amazing what a later bedtime does for a kid! They get to stay up while their siblings go to bed, and I get to spend some individual time with each of my kids learning more about them. It is a win-win!"

    I would want this book for my girls because they both sit in their rooms after we have tucked them in and either read or write and I would love to see what they have to say about their lives accoridng to them.  Such a cute idea!

    I've got a quiet 10-year-old boy.  I'd love to know what is going on inside his head.  He loves to write stories– this would be perfect for him!

    I have a baby boy who I'd love this for. What a fun way to get perspective into their little minds, plus what a great keepsake for them to look back on when they get old enough to appreciate it!

    I would like this book so my son can have a way to show us his emotions and thoughts. Ever since daddy came back from his deployment he has had a hard time talking to us about what he feels.
    I follow on pinterest and facebook.

    This sounds like a great little thing for my daughter. She is constantly writing things down (you should see her door, it's covered in her little sayings and reminders and just thoughts.) It would be great to work on this with her and see what comes of it!

    I would love this for my 2 kids. My son has so much trouble writing, in ideas, handwriting and want.  SO i would love this to help and inspire him.  My daughter is learning to write so I would love to keep her on that path.

    I would love to get this because I'm already having problems communicating with my 9 year old. I'd really like to get the communication lines openned before she hits her teens!

    My girls and I will enjoy having this book to journal and draw in. It'll help my oldest with her writing, creative and thinking skills.

    I would like this book because I have just a regular notebook of memories that I have written down about my daughter. It would be nice to have a cute one to switch over to!

    I would absolutely love to win this book for my daughters to complete.  My mother just passed away two days ago, and I treasure her journals and stories.  This book would be a forever keepsake.

    I would love to have this for my 12 year old son!!  He is getting to that age where I think he may stop wanting to tell me anything…this would be a wonderful way to push that day a little further away!

    I am about to have a baby soon and I'd love to do this with my older daughter daily as a way to bond and document what she is going through with the new baby.
