The Journal
The Sweet Melissa Journal is a quarterly publication with a focus on seasonal living, recipes, rituals, kitchen, home & garden. Each issue is meant to inspire a slower, more comforting life while embracing the changing seasons.
Thoughtfully & intentionally created by founder Melissa Miller—all design, photography, illustrations, and words are her own.

"I picture you sitting with a cup of coffee, flipping through the journal...being inspired for the months ahead. My hope is to offer a respite from the chaos many of us deal with in everyday life."
A buttermilk glazed carrot cake makes a show-stopping dessert for a bright & cheery brunch, alongside deviled eggs, lemon cream pasta, an asparagus galette, and citrus cocktail. You’ll also find ways to spend a rainy day, a calming lavender stress relief dough recipe, plus a how-to on growing edible flowers.
The Journal is available in both print & digital versions—52 pages with recipes, articles, and heartfelt words to inspire you each season. Printed in the U.S. with high quality matte cover + heavyweight paper—the Journal is meant to be kept & displayed. The content is timeless in nature, no ads, and created with the hopes you can step away from the chaos of everyday life & social media to take a moment for yourself.
