Such a great idea! I’m child free but would have loved for something like this about my childhood. Some ideas for what to ask them are: favorite outfit/ shirt/ shoes, fav tv show, fav book, fav subject, current hobbies, fav recess game, fav food, fav item/ toy.
Thanks so much for the affirmation and your ideas! I actually love favorite recess game. That question is so relevant for the stage of life they’ve in!
Sujey!!!!! Thank you sooooo much for this!! I was so scared to start this and not finish but the intention and the ideas you shared have sealed my decision! I just got the covers and now I am headed to get the diaries because WOW!!!! I am so excited. My kids are 13 and 19 but I still get to capture my daughter’s high school experience and my son’s last two years in college into young adulthood. As I shared with you I have memory journals now that we recently looked through and it was so rewarding but some things were personal to me and my ups and downs which I don’t necessarily want them to read later in life so this is definitely an exciting alternative for me. 🎉
Committing is super scary I don’t blame you for being hesitant. I’m so glad this was inspiring you to start! Those ages are very transitional - like it’s a new chapter! What a perfect time to start.
I don’t have kids (I’m sterile) but I also want to do a themed five year diary starting 2025. It was also an emotional purchase because in June, we had to put one of our very old cats to sleep and then in July we had to do the same with one of the dogs (also very old). So I want to write each day about something cute or funny (or even annoying) that they did each day to remember the precious moments with them❤ I know some of them will be gone before the five years is up (we have a lot of old animals) which is why I want to start ASAP and make the most of our limited time together❤ and as for the young ones, it will be interesting to see how they grow and change in the 5 years!🥰 im particularly interested to see my very anxious cats progress! I’ve been working very hard his whole life to build up his confidence and trust so I will be interested to see if I can make more progress in the next 5 years! As it stands, I do already journal about them every day but it will be nice to have more space to record more of their shenanigans as my journal is only A6 so I can’t fit very much! 😂
Hi Sujey, what a lovely gift for your children. I can't tell you how much I wish I had had these when my babies were growing up! Gifts to be cherished for sure. 💜💜 Thank you for reviewing the 5-Year Diary so thoroughly. I've been on the fence about getting into a 5-Year Diary. I'm in the process of moving from Hobonichi Cousin to Sterling Ink so I'll definitely be giving the 5-Year Diary a shot.😊
@@roxiesossa3210 thanks so much for the encouragement! Thinking about the day I gift it to them makes me accountable to keeping up. The five year is on sale right now!
I keep a 5 year A6 journal for my kids too, but I'm using the Hobonichi one. Just one for all 4 kids. I wouldn't be able to keep up with 4 journals...Nice flip.
Love the review of this 5 year planner. I think I’ll go ahead and get one. So should I get 4 since i have 4 kids under 10 (3 are under 4) LOL!. (Seriously I’ll only get 1. Haha!)

Beautiful idea, would love to have been gifted something like this as a memory of my childhood.
Me as well! That’s definitely a motivating factor in helping make this work!

@@sujeyplans7720 Yes, I picked one up today. Can't wait to get it! 😊

I’d probably do the same in your shoes!
Love this.
Thanks so much for watching!!!

😂 I think one is a good call! Maybe in the bigger size A5. Until then start writing an entry in a notebook somewhere so you can backlog!
Maybe you could get an a5 as it’s larger and divide it into four columns and have each part for one kid
