- ...and now I can't imagine journaling without doing THIS simple spread every month. Today I'm sharing all the reasons why I LOVE this way of journaling and memory keeping. I hope it encourages you to give it a try in your own journal.

Thanks for watching fam! I hope it encourages you to give month-in-review journaling a try in your own journal. If it did, let me know down below. If you already do something like this, I'd love to know what you include in your monthly pages :)

I used to do this in my bujos. I changed then to a more "formal" aka happy planner. I still find it too restrictive for me (my brain cannot handle it :). Looking back at my bujos, having a "monthly" page in one journal makes sense. Also, an idea: scan your "monthly" and print it out, and move the printout to a "yearly" journal. The ideas are limitless!
Wow this is amazing. I am definitely going to try this. Thank you so much for sharing. Where is the video of the in depth first 6 months btw? Thanks again for sharing such awesome tips/advice !

I am so thankful that this video was presented as a suggestion in my feed! I’ve been through a traumatic and depressing last nearly three years after being blindsided by learning that my husband of 23 of years at that time was betraying me. He later confessed to more betrayal in past years. My self worth plummeted. I was forced to file for divorce and it became official this past April just after our 25th anniversary. I never ever even imagined being divorced. 😢 I have oh so many art supplies, but I think my fear was that of failure to not have a perfect journal/creation. I knew being creative would be therapeutic but I just couldn’t. I journaled plenty in writing focusing on my pain and the events of the past months. But this!!!! This is what I need. What a no/low pressure way to start to create again. I will focus my monthly recaps on the positive things and feelings, no matter how small, because they are huge for me. I’m in near tears of joy at this new idea of a creative journey. So, thank you so much! ❤
Good luck 🥺💜
Praying for you Rebecca as you chart this new path forward!
Thank you for showing us less can be more, so overwhelmed by all the stuff to use for journaling, crazy
This is amazing advice for a beginner like me! It takes pressure off and opens your creativity. There are so many different ways to do a monthly page or pages. I remembered to save receipts, movie tickets, business cards, etc. I would either write and glue as things happened or keep a little collections tray to do it all at once. Also maybe have a "currently section" and write down things you've been watching, reading, listening, eating, loving, etc. I learned that it's not necessary to have "pretty pages", what you create is perfect and you will appreciate that you did it. Some people are naturals at these things and some of us aren't. The best thing to do is jump right in to that "cold water" because eventually it will feel fine. I only have the past 3 months done but I love flipping back and looking at them. I've now started a small sized notebook for thoughts or writing what I am thankful for. Journaling doesn't have standards or rules. The best way to do it is to relax and be you. 🙂Thanks for sharing this video and all the others that have inspired me!
Thanks so much for sharing your process! Having a little collection tray for things you want to include and a currently section are great ideas!
LaLay Dade, thank you for what you said about the pages not having to be pretty. I needed to read that. N
I absolutely LOVE this so much! I’m sure passing this type of journal down to my three adult Sons would be more enjoyable for them to flip through than my other journals. 😊😂🎉❤
Lol yes exactly! I love that it becomes a family heirloom ☺️
This is a great idea! I do get overwhelmed but love looking back on old calendars that I record things on. Now I can clean up those calendars and have a beautiful book to look back on. Thank You for the idea!
12 page journaling; novel idea!
Can't wait to try this I always collect snippets text, pictures, words and put in my purses ..and clean out my purses and bags once a week...now I have a place to store those items...
Your journal is beautiful!! Your sharing is so pure and sincere. Thank you!!
This is what I decided to do in my a6 hobonichi planner on the monthly pages in the front! So glad to see this! I never have enough for my day or even weekly… but this is so doable.
THIS is what I've been looking for! Keeping simple memories that are easy to look back on. I am someone who absolutely loves to brain dump in a journal and write for pages and pages, but I rarely ever want to look back at those entries. It's just to get my thoughts out of my head. But for actual memory keeping, this monthly snapshot sort of style seems perfect. Thank you for this idea and video!
I’m exactly the same lol I agree
I agree! This sounds so great without me blabbing some thoughts that don’t need to be kept.
I found this video on January 31st - now I am inspired to try this today! 💙🙏🏽😎
My mum makes journals and it was something I had for Christmas 🎄. There so pretty
That will be my 2023 new journaling style. Thank you!
Such a great idea! Implementing immediately! Thank you for the reminder to get down what matters! 🦋🦋🦋
I NEED a planner. I WANT to journal. I DON’T want multiple books. I just brought all my calendars home from work after taking early retirement due to a disability. Everyone at work laughed at my calendaring. I could go back and tell them when, or IF, we got off early for something, when we had our new office furniture put in, when we got our new printers/scanners/computers, when we started the new computer program, when a certain work situation happened, etc. If I asked a supervisor/boss a question, I recorded question, response, and person, as a back-up for myself. I also recorded interactions I had with the public that there might be questions about. I gave my supervisor and workmates permission to access my calendar if they ever had any questions concerning anything I had done. I was so invested they even let me use the calendar only supervisors got to order. I realized I could journal my home planner the same way and it would be like your month in review page. Just structured on a monthly calendar format instead of scattered around the page as yours is. Thus, I could have my planner and journal, too! Thank you for this idea! I love it!
Tomorrow, I am going to buy the pretty planner I saw in Walmart!🥰♥️💗
I bought my planner today!💐🌸Here I go highlighting my life. 🙃
I just want to say thank you!!! So much pressure has been lifted off my shoulders. I knew there was an easy way to do this journaling thing…FREEDOM!! Thanks
Awe yay! I hope you continue to feel that freedom all year long ☺️
I have been an avid journalist for years, but have run into a slump the last few months. With the New Year before me, I am excited to learn this method and I plan to incorporate it into 2023!
Thank you and God bless!
I like this i think it takes time to digest, think, learn and really focus on the experience of the month before......I mean little highlights are good I jot them in my phone notes...take pics that make me happy or sad...but its a whole month before I really feel like noting it down....and believe it or not I am not a journal person!.....I prefer it to be how I felt rather than things I have done and what my kids or grandkids will get something from when they find them after I am gone. ......the little side notes.. scribbles and stickers etc are fun though i get it.
I was thinking along similar lines for 2023. I need to focus on gratitude and blessings and keep it simple. Thanks for your example!
You are so welcome :) Thanks for watching!
I am using a Heidi Swapp Chapters notebook. It’s 7x9. I’m using the one with a barely there all over background. I’m excited to try this!
I absolutely love this idea! I am one who feels overwhelmed with journaling and a monthly spread would make it so much easier! Thank you!
you are not the only one... this idea is also perfect for me too
This is a really great idea. It feels way more doable than other styles. 😊 Thanks for sharing!
I started doing this in the back of my journal this year and absolutely love it! I don’t add any stickers or photos, just short blurbs currently, but I absolutely love reading the little notes of what happened that month.
This is what I was looking for! Normally I do every week but escpecially in the summer I don't have much time because of work, I am a (wedding) photographer, and then I feel the pressure! I already decided to make a kind of art/junk journal, but this monthly thing is also such an good idea! Then there is always the upportunity to highlight something from that month later. Love it! Thank you for sharing!
Great advice! Your journal is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen!
This is a great presentation, I enjoyed listening to you. Felt like I was listening to a friend's voice.
Oh yes, I started doing a highlights page at the end of each month and it’s such a centering, mood-boosting moment to look back on 😊I also love going all out with the decor.
Right!?! So happy you agree! And yes to all the decor! Haha
I love the idea of this. ♥️
I'm so glad this came up on my feed. What a great idea. Thanks so much. I will definitely try this!
I’m intrigued… I think this would be so doable!
Yes I’m going to try it 😃
Thanks!
I’m definitely going to start a journal for 2024 on the basis of monthly reviews. It inspires me a lot.Thank you !
I think I'll give this a go in my journals this year. I find pages like these can get a bit cluttered and confusing at times, which is why I don't like to do them. But I will say challenge accepted - will try these in my journal for next year. see if I like it.
How is the challenge going? Her pages are so cute, but when I look more closely I’m not so sure I’d like using so many stickers. I’m wondering if a slightly more structured layout would be more my (and your) style.
I’ve been doing something similar with a year wheel on each of my journals and it’s looking at an entire year in one spread but this idea of one notebook filled with months and several years is definitely something to try! Thank you for the inspiration! ❤
I’m glad I ran across your video. I am a 65 year old retired female and I love journaling, but not really. I love paper, pens pencils, color, flowers, just stuff. I purchased a beautiful Archer and Olive B5 journal but m retired with a slow life style. And the journal is just sitting there. I appreciate your journey of ideas.
This is Celie from Brenton, WA I have been struggling this past year with the day to day Journaling and I’m glad to see that there might be a better solution instead of playing “catch up “on the regular day today journaling . I also Have done the end of month but it was even a struggle to get that done. So I am looking forward to doing like a brain dump and getting just a month events and I do love that prompts you Have showed us in the video that would be so helpful thank you so much for sharing!
You’re very welcome!!
I am new to journaling and this seems like a great way to start! I make “junk” journals and people always want to know what to do with them. I can refer them to you as I think that they can be combined! Thank you!!
This is a great idea. Will definitely include it in my journaling routine. 😊
This is such a wonderful and helpful idea. I have got so bored of writing the “same old stuff” every day, so this I think will be perfect. Thank you. Hope you had a blessed Christmas.
Thanks Connie!! ☺️
I have been making journals for about a year and I never journal myself! This is a great idea and yes, I will be trying this out. And I just subscribed to your channel! Thank you!
Thank you Margaret! Welcome to the abiding fam! ☺️
I really like this idea. I made a spread last night.
Hello! I am so happy i found your channel! It has opened my mind! Thank you so much! ❤️
Very similar to smash books! I love the messiness and curated feel.
I daily journaled for months and then stop for months, then started and stopped. I'm always sad I missed weeks because I love looking back to see what I've done. Since August I've been doing monthly photo dumps. Just looking back on my phone and printing the memories I want to keep.ans writing a few words or a sentence next to them. That's a I have the energy for. It's great because I can see my kids grow and remember we did a lot even though I feel bad because I have chronic migraine. I have started daily gratitude journaling, just one sentence a day before I go to bed. That's been very positive for my well being too. 😊
Yes exactly that’s a great way to do it ☺️ and one line of gratitude a day is so wonderful
Hello. I'm a new subscriber and new to the world of creative journaling. I am definitely going to start by using your wonderful idea of creating a month at a time and see how that goes. Thank you and Happy 2023!😊🎉🎉🎉
Welcome to the abiding fam Michelle! I wish you well as you start your journaling journey ☺️
Thank you so much for this!!! I'm just about to start on my Journaling journey, and I feel like I have no idea the way I want to do it and I think this is the best thing!! 💕💕
A whole year on 12 pages is an absolutely great idea ❤ I really want to try this idea and share it with my viewers in Germany, I Hope, that is not a Problem 🦋Thank you very much for your wonderful Inspiration 🫶 Best Wishes ❤Susanne
Love this idea, I am completely new to journalling and this feels like a great idea to get me started . Thank you 💖🙏
I am a journaler, and I love this idea. I journal for myself, but this I can do and share with my children.
I love this, a composition book would be a great size for this.memorabilia kind of stuff so I'm excited to try it.
I love this idea!. Trying it for sure. Thank you for sharing!
Yes, I will try it... it will be my first time... has been so hard for me to star. This idea motivated me. Thanks for sharing!
You can do it!
I began keeping a journal at 10. 57 years later I'm ready for a change!
I really really like this, being so overwhelmed by larger projects ✂️✂️✂️
UA-cam just suggested your page and I’m glad it did. I’ve never heard of this type of journaling but I’m going to try it. Thank you.
Great idea to add in addition to myself NOT getting to journal daily. This is a perfect gap filler idea. Before beginning a new month, I can reflect on the important things I might have missed. 😁
Thank you so much! This is truly inspiring. I’ve done art journaling but this is something I’ve never done and will definitely do it this year! I’m grateful to have watched this video. God bless. Xx
Yes I’m in 🎉 Great idea! I can’t wait to get started!
Well… this seems to be a good one to try out for the new year. I’ve tried different types of journaling, but can’t seem to hold on. I don’t always have the energy to write a lot, and indeed, there is a lack of creativity too sometimes. Filling the pages like you do, makes it a little art piece on its own. Love it! Thank you so much for this idea!
Love this idea!! Your journaling is awesome! This looks like so much fun and, yes, less pressure on ourselves! Thank you for sharing! New subbie here!
Fabulous idea. I'm going to give it a go!
Yes I will try this month to month journaling.
Love this ❤ I am adding 1 highlight everyday to my Hobonichi - 5 year, but that is also a great idea.
Yes, I will try it for myself for the year "2023" thank you so very much.
I love this idea! Definitely something that would be easier to keep up with. Now I think I'll do a review of this last year like that. Just my favorites of 2022! Thanks!
Thank you ! I think I will need to go for it and start this year. Mona🇨🇦
Love this sooo much! Will surely make this!!! I love your style and passion for journaling/ memory keeping ❤
I love the sound and thought of monthly journaling. Such a beautiful idea as time goes by so fast it’s great to highlight the memories you want save . Thankyou for the help and ideas 💡
This is something I think I could keep up with. Thanks for sharing a simple and practical idea!
Yes! I make a monthly calendar in my planner and jot just a note about one detail in each day's block and use stickers/stamps/etc. that encapsulate that theme/concept. It is so gratifying at the end of the month to see it all come together.
I love this idea! I used to journal a lot, but I got out of the habit. I think this method will help me get back into it. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Love this!! I’m definitely going to try keeping a monthly this year! You make journaling seem do-able!! Thank you!
LOVE this! I'm definitely going to do this😊
What a great idea! And I can confirm that I’d been doing something similar in a digital journal and I’ve been much more consistent. I love your month-in-review matrix though, and I’m totally using this. Thank you!
I love this idea. Going to try it!!
Yes Yes Yes! Thank you so much for this video - exactly what I needed 💗
Maybe this a great way to try.. monthly journaling for 2024.. wish me luck..
We're going to be doing it as a community in 2024! Definitely join us :)
Great tips!! I've done a similar thing in my bullet journal, but never consistently. Appreciate your tips & encouragement. I'm now inspired & will do this every month now, with more detail. Thank you!! 😘
Love this! Blessings.
Thank you for sharing and printable I’m going to start doing this I love this idea
Perfect timing for me! Love this video thank you so much - Louise and Emily ❤
Thank you for this!! So helpful!! 🎉
Love this! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
This is what I do but didn’t think it was a thing I also have a gratitude/ blessings journal.
I will start a new journal at the Beginning of 2023 & I think I will use this ideal fir the first time ☺ Thank you so much for the inspiration ☺
I am so grate that the algorithm suggested this video!! I love this idea, because I have been so daunted at the idea of dailies as I am a beginner... again. Thank you so much! And Happy New Year!!
Love this idea
Beautiful journaling and a great idea!
i looooove this idea! im so inspired to try it out, thank you sm for sharing!
This year I tried daily Journaling and it wasn't much of a success. I've watched your monthly Journaling and have decided that is the best way to go for me. Thank you for the print out I really believe I can be successful with your help. As always thank you for your wonderful videos. God Bless you and your family and I hope you had a joyous Christmas and I wish for you a Happy, Healthy and a Peaceful New Year
Thanks Sandy! I hope you have great success with monthly journaling!
I always wanted to journal but it was overwhelming and don’t know where to start. This idea is really made me so happy. I will definitely start this monthly journaling. Thank you ❤
Just found your channel. What a great incentive to start the flow of thoughts, feelings, doings, and all those experiences. I'm sure that on reflection, we will all be forever grateful 🙏 for the beginning of a "new us" only one page at a time! Great idea 💡 👍
love this idea!
This is my first try on the Journaling, Luckily came across your vlog! This should work for me as it’s so practical as a beginner. Will follow your guidance to keep up with my journaling progress, Thank you so much!😇❤️
Totally gonna give this a go in 2023! Loved this video! :)
This is excellent advice! Thank you for sharing
I love this idea!
Thank you so much! This is a great idea 😊
