Each October, The Nester hosts a humungous link up known as 31 Days. I first heard of the 31 Days idea last year, but I couldn’t think of a topic to write about for 31 days. Last year, 1200 bloggers posted on a huge variety of topics, each writing a series about their topic for the month of October. This year, The Nester decided to break the link up into categories, and somehow the Family Life category gave me the idea for my series. Each afternoon or evening this month, I will be sharing a prompt meant to inspire readers to journal, blog, or otherwise record the story of their family.
Each of my posts will contain a prompt or prompts having to do with the story of your family, from the roots through the future. If you want to write down your family’s story, you can do so along with me this month (or sometime in the future) by following my prompts, and by the end of 31 days you will have a full journal, blog category, or computer folder containing the story of your family.
I will still be blogging as I regularly do during this month, but you can expect to see these prompt posts in addition to my regular posts. I do have some blanks on my calendar when it comes to prompt ideas – what ideas do you have?
