December Journal Prompts for the Whole Family

December is a busy month. Sometimes it can be difficult to know what to write in your journal purely because there is so much to express. That’s where journal prompts come into play. Our friend, Michelle Garrett, over at divas with a purpose recently posted a blog that contains 31 journal prompts for the month of December. That’s one for each day of the month!

The extra bonus? They’re family-friendly. So, you and your kindergartener or high-schooler can have writing time together. We just love family activities.
