I started this journal when I was 4 years-old in 1988. (I’m 27. Stop counting.) The first entry is written by my mom since I was too young to write and it talks about how I learned in church about journals and wanted to start one. I scribbled in it, traced my hand, and drew pictures until I learned to write.
The things I wrote about most often were vacations. We went on a lot of vacations as a family. It was almost always camping and something almost always went wrong. It made for some adventurous trips and great stories to tell. Looking back, I’m amazed that I loved writing even when I didn’t know how.
Some of my Flashback Friday posts will have my original journal entries along with them – including tomorrow’s post! See you then!




My name is Jessica. I love to read Young Adult and classic literature. I’ve been a book blogger for six years and I haven’t gotten tired of it yet. I’m a very curious reader. Writing about all the questions and thoughts I had while reading a book is the best hobby ever.
Awe this post was so cute. I love reading your journal entry stuff. I’ll look forward to flashback friday tomorrow!
Do you like my reading diary section? It’s my favorite too.
