free memory jar printable from paper coterie

in the past, i have kept a journal, but got away from using it when i started blogging back in 2008. this year i decided to start keeping one again. it won't be something i write in every day or anything, but just to jot down my thoughts every now and then, do my 52 weeks of drawings, and even to use it as a gratitude journal.

i am also in love with the paper coterie's latest memory jar free printable. it has two labels, one for your memory jar and one for your journal, along with 52 questions to print off and answer...one for each week. you simply cut out the printed questions and store them in your jar, making it a fun and easy way to choose one each week. each question is super fun, and they can easily be answered in just a few sentences...perfect for us mom's who almost never have a second to spare.

jar of thanks - free printable from paper coterie

right now paper coterie has this free give thanks printable available for you. use it to make your own gratitude jar with your family this month and teach your kids about being thankful for all the things they have. it comes with a label to put on your choice of jar and paper writing prompts to help you jot down some of the the things you are thankful for. as you fill out each little slip you can use them make a gratitude paper chain. i put ours together in less than 15 minutes and we all have already filled out our first slip of paper to get our paper chain started (even jason filled one out). this is a fun activity for the whole family and kids love it because they get to help participate in the creation of something special.

this month i am participating in 30 days of thankfulness and really wanted a way to get my kids involved as well. it is simple to put this jar in a place where it is easily accessible to them, and each day they are able to grab one of the slips. thanksgiving evening, i hope my plan to get all my children together one last time before the day retires works out, and we can sit down and read each one as a family. i might have to bribe them with hot chocolate!

whoa! where have i been? getting back into the school routine has really been kicking my butt! i was super busy last week but did manage to put out a few posts last week. this past weekend, i spent some time using my big girl camera, and then tuesday i spent the day taking phoenix to see her fast braiin doctor. and today...well, my little man is sick, so i will be spending the day snuggled up on the couch with him. which is actually a good thing because i feel utterly exhausted. i am not even sure why, but i hope and pray i am not getting sick myself!

back to school with a paper coterie giveaway

i recently became an affiliate of paper coterie and am pleased to be working with such an amazing company. i had heard about paper coterie, and first ventured to their website when i started getting the idea that i wanted to do a memory book for family this christmas (there's nothing like getting a head start, especially when you have a big family). so many in my family don't actually read my blog because they just aren't into the whole computer/ internet like i am, so i wanted to give them a piece of it to enjoy. one of my mom's and dad's favorite things to get are photos of her grandchildren.

not only does paper coterie have memory books, but they have cards, calendars, memory keepers, planners, and several other pretty awesome things as well. i can't wait to take our fall family photos and start creating personalized cards for the holidays (i don't want summer to end, but it is inevitable that fall will come, so why not embrace it).

 

right now, if your children haven't already started back to school, it is certainly right around the corner. i adore the school days, do-it-together, coilbound documenting book that allows you to document your child's school year. don't like saving every single piece of paper and artwork your child creates, but feel guilty for throwing it away? problem solved: just grab your camera and take pictures of all the one's your child is most proud of and add them to one of these books. then, once you have it printed you have a great little yearbook of your child's school year to look back at any time, without the hassle of stacks of paper...or even the mess of pencil smudges, shedding glitter, and crusty paint. i will definitely be adding a few of these to my wish list.

sounds awesome, right? well, here's something even more awesome...

paper coterie is giving one lucky six cherries on top reader a chance to win a coilbound documenting book (up to $32 off,  plus free standard shipping) to celebrate back to school. 
 

what a fun way to document the new school year!
