Just Between Us: Mother & Daughter: A No-Stress, No-Rules Journal (Activity Journal for Teen Girls and Moms, Diary for Tween Girls) Hardcover – Illustrated, March 24, 2010
Purchase options and add-ons
A bestselling gift book that has touched the lives of thousands of women and girls, Just Between Us: Mother & Daughter features advice and perspectives from both generations, two lovely ribbon bookmarks (one each for mother and daughter), and appealing illustrations in a deluxe hardcover journal that is a treasure to give or receive.
Whether you have a great or "could be better" relationship with your mother or daughter, communication and bonding can be hard. This journal can change that.
Have you ever wondered . . .
- What your mom thought the moment you were born?
- Where your daughter would go if she could go anywhere in the universe?
We recommend this shared journal for daughters aged ten years old and up. Some reviewers say they love using it with their adult daughters! It's great for stepmom and daughter as well.
Choose this original edition or Just Between Us: Mother & Daughter revised edition (ISBN 9781797222219) for the cover that best fits your style! Each features the same classic content inside.
BESTSELLING MOTHER-DAUGHTER DIARY: First published more than ten years ago, Just Between Us: Mother & Daughter is the original bestselling mother-daughter journal. This is perfect for longtime fans and new journalers alike.
EXPANDED JOURNAL SERIES: Following on the success of the mother and daughter edition, the Just Between Us series also includes Just Between Us: Father & Daughter,Just Between Us: Grandmother & Granddaughter, Just Between Us: Mother & Son, and Just Between Us: Sisters.
KEEPSAKE GIFT FOR GIRLS: Complete with two ribbon-markers so that both mother and daughter can mark their place, this colorful prompted journal makes for the perfect gift to fill now and treasure for years to come.
A POWERFUL TOOL: This journal helps facilitate necessary conversations in fun, funny, and heartwarming ways by offering a safe space to be honest. Writing removes a layer of awkwardness by providing some distance, and encourages vulnerability and truthfulness in those more reluctant to share. As one Amazon reviewer notes, "Every time I find this on my nightstand, or I stick it under their pillows, it's like we're giving each other a much-needed hug."
Perfect for:
- A thoughtful gift from mother to teen or tween daughter, from adult daughter to mother, or from grandmother to a daughter or daughter-in-law with a child of her own
- Mother's Day gifting or self-purchase for moms or stepmoms looking for bonding activities for their families
- Fans of Wreck This Journal and The Care and Keeping of You, or anyone looking for a high-value interactive journal for girls

- Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2025My daughter just turned 10 and I gave this to her for her birthday. I gave it with a no big deal attitude...so it when and if you want to, no pressure. She has chosen to write in it almost every night. I didn't expect to feel so excited to see her passages and also reflect back! I have stage iv cancer and little does she know this is the perfect remembrance for her. The prompts are fun and thoughtful. I love that you can pick any page and not have to worry about going in order. I love it and hope she cherishes it when she's older. She's already expressed that she thinks it's fun and has an easier time "writing on paper" her feelings which I think is incredibly healthy. Overall, awesome purchase that I think is great for age 10 and up!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2024Great way to bond and learn about each other. There’s lots of pages with writing prompts and plenty of blank pages to write in. One side has prompts for the mother and the other prompts for the daughter. We love passing it back and forth and writing to each other. Good quality notebook.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2024First and foremost I'd like to say that this journal is beautifully crafted. My daughter just turned 13 and I wanted to get her journals to express herself but when I saw this I just had to buy it. I thought it would be a great idea and I hoped she would think so too. Let me just say if you won't commit to writing back then don't bother but if your willing to be open and commit this is a great way to open up w her and communicate w out the awkwardness of some topics whether it be on your end or her end. Needless to say she loves it and she's always anxious for my reply we started this a week ago and we both love this journal and are looking forward to continuing it. 😊 ps. I love the bookmark strings that let's us both know where I left off and where she needs to start. Very creative and well thought of journal.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2022I was so excited to gift this journal to my 10 year old daughter for Christmas, and anticipated that it would be a breath of fresh air. I was hopeful for an outlet for us to connect in a deeper way. It certainly has done just that, but it has exceeded my expectations. We are just a few entries in, but it has flipped a switch and my daughter that normally internalizes her thoughts is downright chatty and excited to talk to me about what’s going on in her world. Turns out that writing really resonates with her and has provided her a really healthy medium to work out her feelings and thoughts- especially in these pre-teen years where body changes and emotions are accelerating. This is a precious investment in our relationship and I can’t wait to see what is in store. The journal is a really nice blend of writing prompts to get the conversation going and free space. The format is inviting and exciting. I bought a fun set of non-bleed colorful pens that are nice to write with to accompany the journal - highly recommend that as it makes it feel even more special.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2014Both my daughter and I were excited to get this journal. Building trust with my daughter is important to me as she approaches her teenage years, as I want her to feel comfortable in confiding in me. I think this book is an excellent tool for pretty much any age, as it makes achieving a certain level of intimacy even easier because there is that medium of writing rather than posing questions out loud or talking face-to-face about sticky subjects. While it's important to be able to do this, I think this journal provides a nice means of establishing a closer relationship that will encourage easier, more comfortable conversation.
The book comes with two attached ribbons, one for mom and one for daughter, that can be used to mark new entries or for mom or daughter to indicate where one wants the other to pick up. There are plenty of blank pages for free writing, but the book also contains a variety of suggested topics and list pages that encourage the correspondents to discuss things like favorite songs, dreams, life ambitions, and things they'd like to do together. My daughter especially likes these pages as she's at an age where the poll-style appeals to her. If you're not quite sure where to begin with shared journaling, this book is a great investment because of the proposed topics.
It's also nice to look at. The cover is cute, and the inside includes pretty, muted colors and designs with different colors to differentiate the mother's section from the daughter's. You can write in the journal from front to back or skip around and write about whatever topic interests you, as my daughter and I do.
After only a couple of entries, I learned some things about my daughter I'd never known. Though we talk a lot and are close, the journal brought up topics I hadn't considered discussing with her, and it helps us both to learn more about the other as a person. I think this is great for kids, who sometimes don't see their parents as the human beings they are, but it's also great for me as a mom. It's touching to learn about my daughter's hopes and aspirations, and I love that she feels empowered and encouraged to share them with me. I think this would make a beautiful gift for mother/daughter pairs of all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had this experience with my own mum
This journal is absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend it for all mother-daughters. Writing can create space for safe, deeper communication… things are shared that may not otherwise been. Great prompts. So glad I purchased it.
- AmeeReviewed in Italy on July 7, 2016
5.0 out of 5 stars love it!
Just got this last week and me and my 9 year old daughter were so excited to start it. Highly reccomended to create a place for your daughter to discuss 'awkward' things but also just get your attention when often we come off as too busy. Also a great way to practice English for those who are not mother tongue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Journal and I can't wait until my daughter is ...
Beautiful Journal and I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to use this with me (except I can wait because PLEASE don't grow up too fast, Kiddo!) Anyways, probably good for age 8 through teenager. I'm not sure who gets to keep this, me or her, when she's grown and moved out, haha! It's one of those things you'll both treasure for sure! Changed a couple questions that were school related as I'll be homeschooling but this is really a terrific little book :)

A mi hija de 9 años le gustó mucho escribir este diario y leer también lo que yo escribo. Estaría padre que hubiera una versión en español para que pudiera hacerlo de forma totalmente independiente.
