Today's Letters: Dear Mr. Loerke, this morning I found our journal hidden in my mailbox at work. Three points for writing one of my favorite letters of all time, two points for sleeping like a bear because of carrot lotion. Dear Pectin, this weekend I will sock you with blueberries and you will punch me with jam. Already looking forward to opening a jar when the first snow flies. Dear Scrubs, you are never inside out when I fold you. Thanks for making laundry even more awe-to-the-some . Dear Beloved, last night I noticed you saved me the last piece of apple pie. Pretty sure this made me want to kiss your money skin. Over and out.

money skin. hilarious* (xo!)
nina, we've had our journal for 4 yrs ... almost time to get a new one. it's been one of the best things we've done for our marriage!
twinner, i miss you like i miss fruit roll-ups and riding our big wheels into mom's garage door.
Love, love, love this idea. You guys are too cute.
ashley, let us know if you do the journal, we love hearing about the ways in impacts. thanks for reading. xoxo
totally going to start a journal stat, as in tomorrow. it's a good thing that my husband loves office supplies as much as I do and ALMOST more than he loves me. he'll be all over this idea like Mr. Loerke on your money skin. After we've done it for a month or so, I'll scan a few shots to share with you. deals?
question - do you alternate days? he has it on monday, hides it for you to get tuesday, you write in it on tuesday and hide for him on wednesday? I know, elementary questions. I'm just so overcome by the cute that I can't think for my own self!
sara, we actually only pass our journal back and forth on a weekly basis (not daily). whoever has it is responsible for hiding it for the other to find. it's a fun game :)
Are there "rules" for the journal? Do you write about anything and everything or mostly do you use it as a way to encourage each other?
cristie, we only use it as a form of encouragement. both tim and i are big words of affirmation people so it's a great way to encourage each other. as far as any constructive criticism we leave that for our weekly meeting on sunday nights when we ask our tues questions. sounds confusing, i know, but we do our tues questions on sun eves. this is our designated time each week when we know we can bring anything to the table for discussion. make sense?
yep! got it, and thanks.
I love this and employ such a journal with my best friend. We've been writing in and swapping it back & forth with one another for several years which has served as an amazing trip down memory lane during our girls trips! I'm going to try to introduce this idea to my husband as well, via a well-placed journal with it's first entry. He's great at giving cards at random times so I'd love to see what he'd write in a journal!
