Forever ago I pinned this idea from Design Sponge. And I thought now is as perfect time as ever to start it, a brand new year. The idea is to write one sentence everyday describing something about that day. A big thing or just a little thing. Then, every year you do the same thing as another entry for that day. A journal of sorts, but instead of having to flip back through an actual calendar you can see right there what you did the year before on that day – kinda’ neat huh?
Well, and OF COURSE, I had to put my spin on it – with a free printable for ya ;) “Hi! I’m Melissa & I love designing printables for you – nice to meet you! :)”
There are three PDF’s below, each with four different months. They are each sized at 4”Wx4.75H”, and four of them will print out on a sheet. I printed mine out on heavy cardstock & then laminated them (remember these need to hold up for years & I imagine that some little kiddo hands might be getting into them over the years – just a prediction ;) I also fancied up the top of each card using these scalloped scissors. I used ruled 4×6” index cards & cut 2” off of the right side to make them 4×4” (so they would fit in my porcelain berry carton).
Supplies I used:
- Porcelain Berry Basket (I got mine eons ago, but this one is very similar to mine) & Anthropologie also makes this very pretty one too!
- Paper Edgers Scallop Scissors
- Laminator
- Index Cards, White, Ruled, 4 x 6
(4 packs – 100 each)
- White Card Stock

I’m keeping it in my kitchen, so that I see it everyday to prompt me to fill it out.
Are you going to do it with me? Pretty please?!
Do you think I will keep it up? Will you?
Let’s do it together, we can hold each other accountable & remind each other!!!
Sounds like a plan-stan :)

Thanks Lori!!! I hope so – I need to get on the ball – there might be a couple of blank days so far :( Thanks for stopping by!! xx ♥ m
Oh! Such a fun idea!! Thanks for the FREE (Yay!) printables! The first page I printed was crushed by my cat jumping up and “helping” me… Now instead of measuring and cutting, I can use my time to embellish the divider cards, daily cards, etc. I am going to have so much fun! (I found your post via Pinterest -maybe from OrganizeYourStuffNow?)
Thanks Shelly!!!! So awesome – I’m glad you can use them. I see glitter in your future ;) Thanks for finding me & leaving me some comment love!! :) :) xx ♥ m
Love this idea! I so want to start one so I can see how daily life changes over the years – I think I’ll let my kids help me keep track of items too (it’s always so fun to learn what the important part of their day was).
