One Line a Day – Capturing Memories

I treasure these journals right here. One Line a Day. I’ve been writing in these little things for six years and I absolutely cherish the memories I’ve captured. Looking back, I wish I had enough sense to buy all my friends them as gifts when they had their babies, got married, or just because. The good news is that you can easily get them on Amazon here!
