The Backyard Journal
There are moments with children that feel small when they happen…
but stay with us long after.
A laugh.
A question.
A discovery we almost missed.
I started noticing how easily those moments slip away — unless we take a moment to remember them.
After time with my grandson, I would often jot down a few notes.
Sometimes on a scrap of paper.
Sometimes in the corner of a notebook.
Just enough to remember.
Over time, those small notes became stories.
And I found myself wishing I had one place to keep them all — the laughter, the discoveries, the unexpected moments that made us pause and smile.
So I created one.
