The Bujo Diaries

make memories fun

What if those arguments to get your tweens off Tech could be easier?

What if they could teach themselves to create inspiring journal pages and learn to processfeelings and memories without you

telling them too?

and what if I told you,

you

could give them that?


Let me tell you a story of

my daughter and I and how this

happened to me......

Imagine this

(I'm sure you can)......

It was the holidays, I’d been on countless day trips, entertaining the kids nonstop in an effort to

‘be a good mum’ and keep them off the phones and ipads for as long as possible, but now I was done.

So done!

                                                                                                                      


We’d been out all morning and as soon as we got home my 11yo grabbed her phone and disappeared to her room. I was tired, out of ideas and quite frankly just wanted to sit and enjoy a bit of me time.


couple of hours later the conversation

with my daughter goes like this:

Her:

MUM!! I need more time on my phone

Me:

Her:

You know the time limit, when its gone

its gone.

But it’s the holidays and EVERYONE

else has more time than me!!

Me:

(frustrated) We talked about this, and

you agreed on the amount of time.

Her:

Me:

(pleading) Just one more hour, what

else am I supposed to do!!!

(annoyed) how about doing some of the

crafts you’ve got, drawing, read a book…..

Her:

(dramatic eye roll) *Door slam

Me:

This argument seemed to be on repeat in my home,

I needed to find some sort of solution that didn’t

cause even more friction and I’m a designer,

so its in mynature to find creative solutions…


Enter......

*Drumroll please*

But what the frig is a Bujo?

I hear you ask…


It is all the creativity of a Bullet journal, all the memories of a diary and an under the radar Journal – a hybrid of all three if you will -

aimed at TWEENS.


I presented this glorious concept to my daughter and I have to say

she was a little skeptical........but she’d seen bullet

journals before, and thought they were amazing

so was willing to give it go.



And I can tell you

SHE LOVED IT!


(especially at night time when she was supposed to be in

bed but hey, I'll take the small wins)
