The Mother's Gratitude Journal: An Easy Guide to Capturing Everyday Joys and Milestone Moments

The Mother's Gratitude Journal is a guided journal moms can use to reflect on ordinary days and extraordinary moments using approachable, thought-provoking prompts. Capture the essence of the season you’re in, while infusing those long days with a bit of celebration for yourself--and gratitude for the opportunity to experience it all.

Created by Meagan Francis and Sarah Powers, co-hosts of The Mom Hour podcast, this journal will inspire moms to not only record memories but also reflect on what these intense days, weeks, months, and years of motherhood mean to us. Francis and Powers, experienced mothers with decades of parenting experience between them, provide encouragement throughout the journal, reminding moms that, “it’s all going to be okay.”

With space to record ordinary moments and capture the sweet details of everyday parenting, prompts that will help you document can’t-miss memories, and journal pages for longer reflections, this book will help moms in the thick of wiping sticking fingers and cutting off crusts extend themselves more grace while also finding more gratitude in the day-to-day.

Having trouble sticking to a journaling habit? The Mother’s Gratitude Journal will meet you where you are with easy ways to quickly jot down an entry – no “Dear Diary…” required!
