13 Everyday Life Journaling Prompts
Last week I was checking in on the message boards at Two Peas and read a thread from someone who was looking for some everyday life journaling prompts. I immediately started thinking of some of my favorites and started writing.
Above are 13 journaling prompts/thought starters for telling the stories of your daily life. My hope is that you take these ideas and run with them - go tell some of those wonderfully basic stories. Words are powerful and there's no better time then right now. You can download a PDF of this list below:

Love these, Ali. Thanks for sharing. I too love "Today you" I have used it quiet often, on my blog. Can't wait to use some of the other ones.
You have the best ideas.

it's amazing how simple these are ... and how often i forget about them because they are so easy to take for granted. thanks for the awesome reminder.
ps. i had to write a speech last week about a lady who had passed away and i was really encouraged to write about 'celebration' ... i never use that word, but it was just so perfect and i really loved all that it brought to mind. thanks for inspiring us, even outside the "scrapbook world"!

These are great prompts Ali, especially when journaling for Project Life - sometimes I have something I want to remember but don't know how to start! Thanks so much!

I can not thank you enough because of you I have been LOVING documenting and scrapbooking so much more. Before it felt almost as a chore but now I get so much inspiration and am so excited to collect and put together my memories & think of how my children will enjoy it as well. THANK YOU for all you & share off to print this out!

[...] I have to say that I don’t really want to go to work. I love long weekends but I don’t understand why a four day week feels longer? So I am pushing myself to make a lunch and get out the door. But not until I had visited some inspirational blogs where I found this. [...]
