THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! We JUST reached our goal and we could not have done it without YOUR pledge!!!!
You made the Big Life Journal possible and we are forever grateful!!!
Needless to say we are in full celebration mode!! We still have 19 days to go and we will be donating 10 journals with every additional $1,000 we raise!
The donations will go to schools nominated by YOU, dear backers.
So far we already have three schools lined up:
Stateside Elementary, Jacksonville, NC (nomined by our backer Jacquelynn)
H L Johnson Elementary, Royal Palm Beach, FL (nominated by our backer Erica)
Saint Charles Primary School, Scotland (nominated by our backer Veronica)
We are so looking forward to giving Big Life Journals to these schools! If you are interested in nominating YOUR school, please comment below. The order of schools will be on a first come first serve basis.
ANOTHER REVIEW :)
We are so happy to share with you another great review we received. My favorite part:
"Aside from the educational side and the growth mindset, this journal allows me and my daughters time to talk about real meat and potatoes. We really dig deep and share with each other. I'm learning that my 6.5 year old is beyond what I ever thought she could be. I can't wait to keep going and to get another book for my littlest."
THANK YOU again, and we are looking forward to get the donations going!
Warmly,
- Alexandra & Scott
P.S. Let's spread the word to get the journals into schools! Please share our campaign on your Facebook page! :)

ANOTHER REVIEW :)
I just have to share with you this sweet review we received today. Here's my favorite part:
"Well, let me tell you it has become a little bonding time for us now. After a busy work day I often get caught up in the after-school routines when we get home (homework, dinner, bath, etc.). However, this is now our time that we set aside to sit together and communicate - and it has opened up so many interesting conversations and insights! "How was your day?" is a thing of the past now!! I am so thankful for the Big Life Journal!!"
Here is the full review:

Spreading Kickstarter love...
Running a Kickstarter campaign is no joke... it is basically a full-time job :). So we thought we would help out other campaigns by spreading the word.. Here is one which some of you might be interested in.
DECCO the Toddler Monitor is the next stage of baby monitor. It is a cute and friendly motion sensor device designed to alert parents if their toddler has left their bedroom or safe space, and is on the move. It gives parents peace of mind knowing that they will be alerted if their toddler is in potential danger.

Warmly,
Alexandra

Ok, so we ask this every time but it really makes a difference. Please share our campaign on your Facebook page! And in the status update you should write that we're an awesome project! :)

Hello :)
A few awesome things going on... read on!
Almost there!!! + DONATING journals
We are ALMOST 85% FUNDED on the campaign! We launched one week ago exactly, and have been overwhelmed with excitement, exhaustion, and gratitude! YOU are making the Big Life Journal possible with your pledge, and we are so so SO THANKFUL!
Once we reach our goal, we will be donating journals to schools around the country. So we need your input: if you have any school or specific program in mind, comment below!
To learn more about the journal
A few days ago I (Alexandra) was interviewed by the founder of Generation Mindful, Suzanne Tucker. We spoke about the Big Life Journal and particularly, how it helps kids develop a growth mindset. Click here to watch!
Read this review!
Another 5-STAR review on the journal! My favorite quote from this review:
"I'm super pumped and rather honoured that Jett asked me to be his Journal Buddy today! Week one was all about making a difference in the world. We spoke about people who make a difference in the world (and in his world), and how he can do the same! My heart just melted with some of his responses.... needless to say I'm pretty excited about this book and the journey we about to embark on. "
