Like a lot of new parents, journaling has taken a bit of a back seat these days to things like--oh, sleep. And not everyone is (or wants to be) a blogger. But I've found a new app that has the old journal fire burning again--and it's simply addicting.

Roller Journal is a $1.99 app that asks you questions in order to get your brain whirring--and your thoughts down on (virtual) paper. It sounds astoundingly simple, but there's something so appealing about tapping in answers to questions like "What are you looking forward to?" and "What do you wish you had the time to explore?"

I find myself clicking the "another question" icon over and over again until, lo and behold, I've written actual journal entries. A miracle.

I love the easy, clean format, but there's more than meets the eye: the journal keeps of track of when you write most often and reminds you when it's time for another entry; you can add in your own questions, and check to see how you've answered the same questions over time; and, if you are so inclined, you can easily share entries on Facebook or Twitter.
