Between Me and You, Honey~Day #6 Review & Giveaway!

Just in time for Valentine's Day, this beautiful relationship keepsake journal could be yours!

When I received the Between Me and You HONEY relationship keepsake journal by Sand Dune Publishing in the mail, I thought surely I would give it to my husband, and have him fill it out for me. The longer I had the book, (and the more I flipped through the pages), the more I contemplated filling it out for him. Brian and I have been through so much together! We've been together 10 years, and married for just over 5. Many couples married for decades haven't gone through the trials of our friendship, courtship and marriage. Answering the questions and reflecting on the years before "us", really helped me to open up to my husband- on paper- for the first time since our premarital counseling. I really feel that it helped me reconnect and remember how and why we fell in love.

The book itself is not the actual gift. Sure, it's physically the gift that will be unwrapped, but the true gift is the words written inside for your special loved one. It's a gift of truth; a gift of hopes and dreams, and the gift of love, all over again. Sand Dune Publishing took it one step further and created an entire line of "Between Me and You" relationship keepsake journals to offer to Grandparents, to girlfriends, to lovers and even siblings. These journals are broken up into six different chapters concerning different phases of your personal relationship with the recipient. All of the questions you never knew how to ask, or even when to ask them- they ask them for you. It's presented in a comfortable, conversational tone so it's simple and easy for your loved one to fill out. The spiral binding allows for even more flexibility, if there's a question or a page that is irrelevant, you can simply tear it out. You can even add your own questions on the blank pages in the back!

I cannot even describe to you how much I wish that this particular line existed when my mother-in-law fell ill with cancer. There are so many things that I wish my children would have known about her, from her- she really was an incredible woman. A relationship keepsake journal such as this, would have been a fabulous way to have her true heartfelt thoughts and memories live forever.
