Journaling during your travels

How amazing is it to see your family take in all the beauty and excitement while on vacation?? Why not capture what they are feeling?? Sure you can create still shots with fancy cameras but try to take it an extra step further with journaling.

Since I was a little girl I've been a journal / diary writer and I find it so interesting to go back and read what I was thinking and feeling at certain stages in life.

My boys are finally getting old enough to where I feel 110% confident in taking them outside of the hotels & resorts to explore historical and adventurous sites. Sites such as a helicopter ride over an active volcano in Hawaii or taking a tour of the Mayan ruins in the Yucatan.

My dear friend Anne Patron of 500 Place With Kids is the one who inspired me to invest in some Moleskine journals for my boys to write and color in while we go on our adventures. You can read more about her experiences on journaling with kids HERE. I absolutely love the picture below her little one drew of the Chichen Itza Pyramid (known as one of the 7 Natural wonders of the World).


I'm excited to see what comes of this new project! I encourage you to give it a try for it may just be something you will treasure forever.



Enjoy your Easter weekend lovelies!
