February was a good month, but I am looking forward to March, as Spring draws closer and the fun of gardening begins! If you decide you would like to do A Sentence A Day journaling, please let me know, I would love to come and read!
I can't believe we're in March already, this year is going far too fast! I love the idea of jotting down a sentence each day, I bet it takes next to no time and can jog your memory for the whole day!

February FLEW by this year. I think a sentence a day is a fun idea. I should try this one of these months....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to write a sentence a day about that day. It certainly will be great memories to look back on years from now.
ReplyDeleteReally love the idea of a sentence a day! My daughter is off at college and it strikes me often that she is on her own (your February 5th). Congrats on the 6 pounds!!
ReplyDeleteI love Feb 01 and Feb 06. The first because we live far away from family so our friends became our family. They are just the best and we love every minute we spend with them. Feb 06 because let's face it we all have those days where your head feels like it's going to explode!!!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to keep a journal but never could keep up with writing everyday. What a clever idea to just start with writing a sentence a day.
ReplyDeleteOoooh - I love when you do the sentence a day! I always am inspired to do it, but then I forget. I need to start now! Hope you had a blast in Chicago!
ReplyDeleteI really LOVE this idea.. super creative and i am definitely using this at work as well!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a really great idea! It must be so cool to look back and re-read the entire month of sentences.
ReplyDeleteFebruary was so warm by us and it looks like it was for you too. My husband still sends me cards but talks about how all holidays are too commercial. Thanks for your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteAlways a great way to look back on the month regardless of what happened! This is really awesome, looks like you had a great month altogether.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! It always nice to look back at the previous month. I hope for me March will flies by. xx
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun thing to read. I like what you wrote in February 2, because sometimes I feel like that too!

Thanks for sharing your sentences for the month of Februrary. In a way I do the same. I write a grateful statement each day in my Happy Planner.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really great idea. I'm pretty sure mine would say " the kids wore me out today" everyday :P
ReplyDeleteI love this, February has just flown by for us and it's strange to see them in a sentence per day but I think it's been a good one for us so far!
ReplyDeleteLove that you got to spend some time in Chicago. I love that city and haven't been back in a while. Visiting with family makes it even better!
ReplyDeleteWow this is an incredible idea! Since some of us are too busy to even write in our diary, A one sentence journal ain't bad. I might do this too.
ReplyDeleteI love sentence in a day, i would so love to do this. Very inspiring
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's already march! I feel like this month just flew by!
ReplyDeleteThese are all really wonderful and provide a great way to look back and reflect on the month.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to help remind yourself of your day. That will come in hand when the years go by and memories fade. I love this idea.
ReplyDeleteI agree, February went by way too fast - it was a blur! I love your sentence a day content. I wish we could cut our cord here at home!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! So much fun and I love reading what you're up to. I headed to Chicago this month as well!
ReplyDeleteYou were in a sorority! I love that! Or at least I am guessing you were since Delta Kappa Gamma isn't a typical club name outside of sororities.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how these months have flown by so fast! I love this idea of writing a sentence a day. I'll definitely have to try something like this sometime!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhh I swear I have no sense of time because I can't believe it's already march!!!! Love the idea of writing a sentence a day. Great way to recap!!!
