So you went on the family vacay of a lifetime and collected bits and bobs of all things travel-y to commemorate your experiences… but now what? Typically, all those lovely ticket stubs, subway cards, brochures, bar coasters and the like end up gathering dust in a pile. Your scrap-booking dreams tend to go up in smoke after a few months back in reality – at best, after you’ve finally tossed the dusty ephemera, you may stumble across an image in your phone from your trip, but other than that, there’s nothing tangible to share with other family members or friends.

And I don’t know about you, but my memory is forever “making room” (some people refer to this as “forgetting”) for new memories.

But good news! In preparation for a big family trip to Ireland this summer, I’ve crafted an interactive family Travel Journal where we can all participate in the writing, collecting of stuff and any other documentation of our wild adventures.

We’ve already been generating some cool ideas for how to document our days, such as:

Using our PooliPrint to make photo stickers to put anywhere and everywhere in the book
Using our Instax camera to have actual pictures you can touch (GASP!) instead of telling ourselves we’ll print out the digital ones
Designating a collector of paper things we might want to paste in (we shall dub her “Stubs” in honor of her important job)
Assigning the best photographer OR doodler to document pictures of food (because our family is very food-motivated)

This is absolutely divine! Amazing! This has everything you need! I love it! Really top notch, beautifully professional. Wonderfully relatable. Easy to follow and enjoy. I could even use these things and I don’t even travel much. I can’t wait to use them for our trip this summer.
