Just saw Christie’s post. Have to agree about the hardback problem as far as laying flat is concerned. I’m sure what we have is NOT the one in the link. I used Christie’s recommendation for 90lb. weight, so the one in the link cannot be the exact journal….it’s 74#.
We used perforated journals a year, or two with our older children…..frustrating.
@Christie, if there is something similar to what you are using for co-op, what are the benefits of having them custom made? Were you able to choose something that isn’t available anywhere else? I’m curious. We are seriously getting into our journaling and I’m wanting to know all the various options. Our youngest keeps her’s with her no matter where we go. She journals in the garden, on the road, after park days and field trips. I’d like to provide her with as much encouragement and the best resources we can at this point.
Reading The Living Page right now and I’m recognizing her as a serious “Keeper” already. I had to work at this happening with our older children. She naturally captures every thought, which may just be learned from the atmosphere I had to work hard to create with her older siblings….I’m not sure. She is just so compelled to do it, I think it’s inborn.
