    Monica's Top Tip for Inspiration

    Use Pinterest as a holding place for your inspiration. Pin when you find something inspiring and then dig in when you are starting work on a project.

    All I Really Need to Know About Journaling I Learned in First Grade with Monica Bradford

    Former elementary school teacher Monica Bradford says, “All I really need to know about how to live and what to journal and how to write I learned in first grade. Meaningful pages are not at the top of the magazine mountain, but there in the picture pile on my scrap table.

    These are the things I learned:

    All I need is an idea and a #2 pencil to begin

    Story is more important than perfect grammar

    A good book can be a great example

    Sentence starters are for everyone

    If first graders can do this…so can I.”


    Join Monica as she shares these tips and more as she helps you simplify your journaling.
