diy: Daily Calendar Journal

Wednesday, January 2, 2013 38 Comments

Daily Calendar Journal {mama♥miss} ©2013

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 :)

    I’m in. I pinned this months ago waiting for the New Year. I have done a gratitude journal for years and I was looking for a new format this year. Thanks for the inspiration.

    I want to do this for my pregnancy. Can I adjust the printable to say month one, month two, etc? How cute will this be for your child to see one day?

      Hi Sarah! Right not it’s not editable – I don’t have the proper software to do so – it’s my next big purchase (it’s a couple hundred dollars!) though – so it might be a future post. Be sure to subscribe by email to my blog & you’ll get updates when I post & be one if the first’s to see when I do :) xx

    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?)

    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).

    Oh my gosh!!! I have been planning to do this exact same thing after I saw that exact same pin! I even bought some supplies for it before Christmas, but I’ve still been planning it out in my head so haven’t made any actual progress ;) I’ve been writing things down though so I’m definitely on board with you! Now I’ve got yours to inspire me, so I must get started! Love your design and colors, you rocked it!

      hehe yeah I hear ya! I’m hoping I kind of find at least one original moment each day that isn’t – “changed a poopy diaper” – hahaha, although, it is what it is, & although the creative juices do flow most of the time – I do believe “changed a poopy diaper” may have to be an inevitable back up ;) Thanks for stopping by Ginger & leaving my some lovely comment love!!! xx ♥ m

It is a daily calendar you write one thing about your day and you will do it for years so you can record what you did in 2014 then in 2016. It is a pretty awesome idea. You can check it out here […]
