Journal Pages from Grace is Overrated


These pages were created out of a sense of delightful (and occasionally insightful) personal exploration.  They combine fill-in-the-blank journal prompts with off-kilter to-do lists with game-show-inspired lightning rounds with whatever else comes to mind.  I've had a great time creating them and I hope you'll have just as much fun filling them in.  Collect them all in a binder or envelope and look back every once in a while to see all that you've accomplished!

There are 26 pages in all, click THIS LINK to get them.
Here is just a sneak peak...

  2. What a great excersize. I'm a stay at home mom and sometimes I feel like my brain is mush from talking to a three year old all day!

  3. I have been meaning to start a journal since my kids were born having used to write in one everyday. Perhaps this can kick me into gear!

  5. Sheesh! I had to get all the way to the end to figure out that "Grace is Overrated" is her blog! I couldn't figure out why on earth you thought these adorable journal pages were overrated. Love the idea! I'm an avid journaler, but sometimes you get stuck in a rut just writing about the kids' antics throughout the day.

  8. WOW! She has put a lot of work into that, that's neat! If I ever finish my kids First Year Scrapbook (now 3 & 5, how awful is that!) I can work on a journal for myself. This form looks like fun!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Love the idea, and appreciate all the work and thought you had to put in to make all of these!

    ReplyDelete
  31. This is so creative! Sometimes it's nice to have prompts to help with journaling.
    I like all the extra "random" stuff that you put on the sheets because I am a freak who likes to have a different notebook for each subject/Bible study/church sermons/to do lists/journal/(stop me please...this could take awhile)
    Anyway, this gives me permission to have more topics in one place:)

  45. I'm hopeless with journals. My journal has month-(sometimes year)-long gaps followed by binges, and each new entry starts with "haven't written in a while..." I'm pretty consistent with my blog though. I guess I can journal when I'm inviting the world to read... hmmm, odd....

  46. These are great. Thanks for sharing.
