Thoughts between a Mother and her Daughter

I decided to start this little idea with my oldest Dezirae.. thought Id write about it.

I got her a regular little notebook (if this goes well we will invest in a journal and fancy it up a bit) and she has free reins with the notebook, to write down whatever.. like questions she wants answers to, or how she is feeling or what she is thinking.. anything at all really.. Just a personal space for her to write me a letter and let me know whats going on in that lil 8yr old head of hers. And once a week I will sit down and read what she has written and respond back to her in the notebook. I just feel like sometimes for me.. things get better expressed when I write them. And this way she can say whatever is on her mind, free of lil sisters interupting.. and I can answer her free of lifes everyday interuptions.. Its open communication between her and I. Nothing is off limits. Im hoping it will just make our friendship blossom more between the two of us. This is something I hope to do with her for years to come and something I will do with all of my girls :)

  1. this sounds like a really cute idea. but what if Dezi writes in there "Today at school I am going to kill this girl. I mean literally kill. I know how I am going to kill her and what I am going to do with the body. it feels good telling someone" and you read this two days later. then what, niki? then what?!
