She wrote about solar systems, stars, planets, choirs, french toast, french fries, turkeys, penguins, her cats Sali Dali Cat and Oreo Speedwagon, and a whole lot more! Sometimes she just couldn’t wait for Wednesday to come around. With her mom’s permission (her mom has the password for Missy’s blog) she sometimes sneaked a blog entry in between two Wednesdays. Missy even added some black and white photographs as well as a picture by Josh (one of Missy’s two brothers) into this book! And just like last year, she included some of her own artwork and left lots of place for readers to add their own creative touches.

It’s important to keep a record of the important things that happen to you throughout the year, and no one knows that better than me – Missy Barrett! I post entries to my weekly blog about things that matter to me, and I’m glad I do because when I read them again, it reminds me of lots of great things. Sometimes I even draw pictures or take photos and put them on my blog to go along with what I write about.

Whether you’re a kid like me or a teenager, or even a grown-up, having a record of good things to look back on will bring smiles to your heart. Someday, you and your family members are going to look back on books like this one and learn a lot about who you are and the good things that happened to you. Who knows? Maybe one day, you’ll look back on this book and think that one of the entries would make a good novel or one of the pictures or photos should be made into a mural. Best of all, this book will be a time capsule that you can open up anytime in the future and enjoy for years and years and years to come.

Love, Missy Barrett
