An End of the Day Journal

"Being a 5 Year journal, it's virtually perpetual. It's a simple five line daily entry. However, it's sometimes challenging to summarize a whole day's activities in less than a paragraph. But overall, over time your will enjoy comparing your days from year to year as the individual days are all on the same page so you start at the beginning of the book each year."

I have used these journals

"I have used these journals for nearly 10 years and bought two more to carry me through the next decade."

Keith W. (5/5)

Not a Fan

"I had great expectations for this journal. However, I am extremely disappointed. I have never been disappointed with any Levenger purchase. It is my go to place for all my business, writing, and book products. perhaps I didn't understand what I ordered, but it is too small for me. It is good quality but I can't use it for the purpose that I had in mind."

5 year journal

"I love this idea if a 5 year journal all in one book. It is made very well-color is just what I wanted,the pages are a nice weight and the pen glides across the paper smoothly. So glad I found this!"

Baby book in mother's loving hands

"My daughter-in-law loves it! She's using it to record what her one-year old is up to every day. Although it's called a 5-Year Journal, it could as well be called a 5-Minute Journal, as that's about all it takes to make a daily entry."

Steve L. (5/5)

Bad Timing

"The same day I received my 5-year Journal, I also received an e-mail from Levenger announcing three attractive new color options along with an offer to buy one journal and get one 50% off. That poorly-timed offer left me regretting my purchase. However, the journal is as expected and I plan to use the one I ordered (I had it personalized) for the next five years."

Nancy L. (4/5)

Love using and buying for everyone!

"Cannot express how thankful I am to have found this journal. I'm a notebook snob but also don't journal on a consistent basis. This is the tool that I needed to actually look forward to writing each evening. Mother of a toddler and a baby and I'm just so excited to fill it. It's the perfect size, weight and amazing quality! Love how pens write in the pages. It's fancy enough to feel special but not too fancy where you don't want to mess it up. It actually makes me want to journal more once it gets the juices flowing! I bought 2 more for friends whose babies are turning 1 and 2! Such a fun way to remember all the hilarious things that kids do and the crazy journey or motherhood. Super recommend. This is going to be my "Decide Once" gift for this coming year. Everyone I know is getting one from me. I just wish I could personalize it with my full name since I don't love the look of my initials."

I see in a question from March 2023 that only the Natural and Berry colors were available. Today (March 2024) looks like no Berry, but Navy and Green are available. Are plans to bring back Berry? I'm hoping to re-order the Berry so that my journals can continue to match.
Sorry, berry is discontinued and we have no plans on bringing it back at this time.
Is it possible to get a five year journal in a larger size notebook?
Sorry we do not make the 5-year journal in a larger size.
