So the other day, I had an idea that I wanted to find two little notebooks with hard covers that would serve as a Summer Passport for the kids to document where we have gone and things we have done. You know I love to chronicle our lives and reminiscing is so much fun!
I had planned to go to Target and find the perfect notebooks and decorate them. But I never made it to Target (not even when I was in Denver) and I really wanted to get started so I did what I always do when I need something special and creative....I went to Etsy.
I was so excited when I came across these awesome travel journals that have a passport cover.
It contains 40 blank pages and each cover has an inner pocket for stashing paper bits, flat souvenirs, or ticket stubs. The title pages are covered in fabulous airmail stripes, and five reproduction vintage-styled travel tags are included to get you started. ~quoted from Spacedogs Studios
All of this for only $11! Perfect!
I can't wait to start filling these will all of our adventures, outings and trips! And I hope someday they will enjoy looking at them and remembering what fun we had together!
EDITED: I did get 2 of these....a red one for Alex and a pink one for Mallory.

That's an awesome idea! Did you buy one for each child? Or are you documenting it all in just 1 notenbook?
I had the SAME question as Sturgmom!
I LOVE this and am ordering one now!
What a great idea. I love it. I think it would work for my older kids too!
You are awesome Connie!

I've always wanted to keep a journal, but never know what to write in it. And didn't think I'd keep up on it daily or even weekly. I so wish it was something I got into when I was younger.
Great idea!
What great notebooks! Good for you for ordering from ETSY.
that is such an awesome idea!!! I may have to do this as well, we have a LOT going on this summer!!
That is a fabulous idea! I may be copying this one :)
Fantastic idea! I wish my kids were a little more "cerebral" - I mean I love them for their rough and tumble ways - but it would be nice if I could get them interested in creative ideas like this. Maybe Eleanor will be ready soon - she seems to be the brains in the operation.
Those are so cute! Maybe I'll help them fill it with stuff when I come visit again!
Such a cute idea. I hope you'll update us about their journals later in the summer.
Great Idea Connie! Your kids will love to read about your fun adventures when they get older! :0)
Thanks for stopping by and helping me celebrate my sits day today! I had ginormous fun.
So fun to see you on my sister jenjen's blog regularly. :)
thats awesome!!! You are so creative, what good ideas!!! The postacards too, I am so copying that!
This is such a fabulous idea!!! Now I want to do this with my nephew!!!
Great deal, and they are so cute, too! Love them!
I keep a journal for my children. Actually, I filled out my first son's baby book and after he turned 1, there was no more room to write anything, so I bought him a journal and I write to him in that. I've already completed one book, and am on to the second!
Same with my baby boy - well, I'm still on his baby book and when that gets filled, on to the journal... :)
You are too cute. What a great idea!
That is a Great idea!! I need to get some of these!! Thanks for sharing!
Or? Instead of the kids reminiscing over the journals in 20 years, it could be they give them to their therapist to prove all the mistakes we made.
You're such a good mom!
Thats a great idea. I'm going to steal it in 10 years when we have kids.
And by 10 years, I mean 20.
Those are def. cuter and more functional than anything you would have found at Target. And for $11?
