Mother Daughter Journal

1. Decorate journals together and place them in a drawstring bag with a Book of Mormon, a pen, coloring pencils or markers and an envelope of journal starters for each of us.
2. Every evening Mom and daughter will read from the Book of Mormon and write in own journals together before personal prayers and bedtime.
3. Journal entries may be scripture commentary, whatever each feels inspired to write, or based on a random journal starter.
4. Drawings, stickers, etc. are always welcome in our journals.
5. Writing every day for the first week will earn a reward (which the mom and daughter should agree on previously)
