During the height of the pandemic,
it was the middle of the night, and I was rocking my youngest daughter back to sleep. Her tiny hand reached up to touch my face, and I wished I could pause that moment in time and remember it forever. I immediately began brainstorming on how I could collect the small moments to later reflect back on, and suddenly, “it’s a sign” came full circle - journals. My vision is to create a lifestyle journal for the everyday iconic woman, the postpartum mom. Each page within the journal will have a sign in American Sign Language.
“My mission is to show women that between the long, hard, email and phone call filled days, there are moments to remember; between diaper changes, bath time, and sleepless nights there is joy. Everywhere you look, there is a sign, a MOMment in time.”

“I have never been a fan of lined journals; I feel constrained to the lines and pressure to fill up the page. With the free space below the prompts, the user can use the pages of their journal as they see fit.”
