Reviews

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."

Fred D. (5/5)

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!"

Susan C. (5/5)

So nice

"I love the 5 year journal, i got the Marilyn dream keeper when it was available and it's gorgeous"

Michala (5/5)

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."

Great for long term planning

"I really like the 5 year aspect, where you start seeing the past years as you use it. Great for long term planning for me as a teacher, let's me compare where I was this time last year. Anyone with a cyclical job"

Concise Organized Journal

"I like this 5 year journal. It's nice that one can reflect over the years of dates as to the organization of the journal. Just enough lines to jot down highlights."

Melanie K. (5/5)

Handy little reminder

"Love this handy little reminder that my day is full of blessings!"

Jane B. (5/5)

Going strong after 9 years

"I'm in year 4 of my second one of these. Just bought three more - I love the new colors! Very durable, and exactly the right length. I love being able to look back on my life - after starting these at age 40 I have a much better idea of my life for this decade than I did for my 30s."

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.
