As young girls are growing and trying to find their place in an increasingly complicated world, journaling is a healthy way for them to process, stay present, and keep perspective. So, when you give our diary to that special girl in your life we hope that you know you are giving her so much more than a cute Unicorn noteboook. You are giving her the keys to unlock pieces of herself that she may not otherwise connect with. That is invaluable. And just for fun, we threw in a cool pen and a stylish bracelet to remind her just how beautiful she is!
Every girl needs a secret diary with a lock and key! Why? Because a diary is a powerful tool for young girls to safely express their thoughts and feelings, dream about the future, and freely explore their own creativity without judgment. It's magic. It's also scientific. It has been proven that journal writing strengthens overall emotional health. As journaling habits are developed early in life, benefits become long-term. Don't believe us?

Hi There! Thanks for stopping by. We are a family-owned business that finds great joy in creating products we BELIEVE in. The truth is, we started this diary brand, Life is a Doodle, with a tight budget, and a hunch that kids would like them. In the beginning, it seemed like a long-shot dream fueled by coffee, sheer determination, and lots of mistakes that made us better along the way. Yup. There were days we wanted to quit. Obstacles that felt impossible to hurdle, and fear that had to be silenced. Through it all, we never stopped BELIEVING in the dream that one day girls all over America would unlock our diaries and write about their own dreams, hopes, and fears. Today, we are here to tell you that dreams do come true. We are forever grateful for each child who doddles in our diaries and we look forward to continuing to provide products that empower girls to be thankful, mindful, creative, and kind!
WHY DIARIES?
I still remember how excited I was as a young girl when I received my very first secret diary with a lock and key. I was nine years old and finally felt in charge of something that no one else had permission to enter - even if it was a simple notebook. It was MY notebook. Just MINE. And I was going to fill it with all MY thoughts and ideas, secrets, and ambitions without anyone else telling me what to write or how to write it! The best part was the feeling of satisfaction that came whenever I finished an entry, turned the key, and locked my diary knowing that no one, especially my big brother, could read what I wrote. My hope is that every girl who receives one of our diaries has the same experience- a safe place to express herself emotionally and creatively without judgment or fear of anyone intruding. It's a gift. Truly. And I believe that journaling as a child is one of the reasons I still love writing as an adult. If I can pass this passion on to other young girls then I am all about it! And this is how Life is a Doodle came to be.
