$12.99
What Will Your Children Remember About Today?
The dishes are still in the sink. The laundry isn't folded. Your to-do list is half-finished. But you put your phone down and listened. You got on the floor and played. You made eye contact and really saw them. Those moments? They're the ones that will matter in twenty years.
The Moments That Mattered Notepad is your Christ-centered tool for recognizing the connection you're building with your children, even on the days when nothing else gets done.
What Makes This Notepad Special
Designed for Mothers Who Want to See What Truly Counts
Dimensions: Compact 5.5" x 6" size—perfectly portable for keeping on your nightstand, tucking in your planner, or storing in your kitchen drawer. Small enough to feel manageable at the end of a long day, spacious enough for meaningful reflection.
Paper Quality: High-quality paper that’s smooth and easy to write on. No bleed-through, no smudging, just smooth, quality paper that makes priority-setting feel like a sacred practice.
Page Count: 50 tear-off sheets for 50 days of recognizing what mattered. That's nearly two months of training your heart to see connection over productivity.
A Framework Rooted in the Scripture
"Fathers, do not provoke your children... bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." – Ephesians 6:4
You're not just managing behavior. You're building trust, connection, and a foundation for spiritual training. And that starts with intentional moments of presence. The layout guides you through four essential areas of reflection:
1. Intentional Moments
Connection doesn't happen by accident. This section helps you recognize the specific ways you chose presence over distraction today. It trains you to notice the small, intentional choices that build big relationships.
2. What I Noticed About Them
You can't connect with your children if you're not paying attention. This section helps you practice observation and celebration. Shift your focus from what your children did wrong to who they're becoming.
3. Heart Check
Honest reflection about your own heart keeps you humble and growing. This section creates space for grace, both for yourself and for your children.
4. Reflection
This final section helps you evaluate how you're building trust and what legacy you're creating. Cut through the noise and see your parenting through your children's eyes.
How to Use This Notepad

One intentional moment at a time.
One day of presence at a time.

Because what your children will remember about you isn't what you accomplished. It's how you made them feel.
