• Family origins • Travel • Pets • Honorary Family • Home • Books • Movies • Songs • Milestones • Work • Education • Fun! • Dreams & Aspirations

Features include:
* Gorgeous hardcover journal with delicate papercut artwork throughout
* Acid-free, smooth paper thick enough to stand the test of time but takes pen beautifully

* Removable barcode sticker 

This guided journal will inspire you to record the unique details and stories of your family to share with loved ones and future generations.
Anne Phyfe Palmer is an entrepreneur, writer, yoga teacher, sailor, electric bike commuter, and mother. She left her hometown of New Orleans for the green mountains of Vermont, where she received her BA in English and Women’s Studies before heading west to Seattle and opening 8 Limbs Yoga Centers. With her guided journal series, Anne Phyfe combines her passions for self-inquiry and the written word. She lives in Seattle, and whenever possible, on the ocean.

Sarah Trumbauer is a papercut artist and illustrator living in rural eastern Pennsylvania. Her paper cuts are inspired by long walks through gardens, vintage children's books, and art nouveau patterns. Her work has been featured in international magazines, books, and stationery products. When she's not cutting paper, she can be found drinking tea, daydreaming, and reading mystery novels with her cat, Lucy.
How to Use This Book
This book was designed for families of all kinds to record the facts, details, experiences, and plans of their commingled lives. Here are some tips for getting the most out of this journal: 


   1. Designate one person as the main recorder, but find a way for each family member to contribute. 
   2. Keep your journal somewhere accessible to the whole family for easy additions. 
   3. Tackle the group questions on a road trip or a family vacation, or when you have time to relax together: writing takes brain energy, especially writing that involves remembering and making choices!
   4. Skip questions for later if they are holding you up.
   5. Allow your family to take several passes at each section. You might find it helpful to jump around and answer just a few questions from each section in one sitting. 
   6. Use the “More to Know” pages after each section to write more, or to add your own prompts and family information. 
   7. Revisit and add to this journal at least once a year.
