Perfect keepsake!

I bought 2 books for my boy/girl twins and I LOVE them! So cute and I love the colors because they are timeless. These could easily be added to their own book collection when they get old enough and not look out of place (like too “baby-ish”). I love the family tree page and the pages that have room for little pictures. I just hope I can keep up with them for the next 15 years (my twins are 3) haha.

A Thoughtful Keepsake for Capturing Your Child’s True Essence

The Kept Journal is a breath of fresh air for parents looking for a thoughtful and meaningful way to capture their child’s early years. Unlike other baby books that focus solely on milestones, Kept beautifully emphasizes not just what your child does but who they are becoming. This unique approach allows parents to chronicle not only first steps or first words but also their child’s evolving personality, traits, and character.

The journal’s minimalist design is a major plus—it’s elegant, uncluttered, and not overwhelming. It invites you to reflect deeply on your child’s growth without feeling pressured to fill every page with endless details. Instead, Kept offers gentle prompts that make it easy to capture both significant moments and the subtler, heartfelt aspects of your child’s development.

For parents who want to focus on the meaningful journey of parenthood without being bogged down by excessive forms and details, Kept is the perfect companion. It’s a baby book that truly grows with your child, and as you look back over the years, it will become a treasure trove of memories reflecting who your child was—and who they are becoming. Highly recommended!

Doable and amazing!

This is such a great way to keep track of your children's life. It is so relaxing and not daunting! No scrapbooking scissors needed. lol I highly recommend it and even for your older child, it is manageable enough to go back and remember those fun memories!

Love it!

Makes it easy to write as little or as much as you want. Calms down some of the mom guilt I have been having not being able to keep up with all the memories, but gives me hope that I will be able to write more when I am out of the chaos of having an infant and a toddler. It's really pretty and well made too!

Memories for my girls

Started these for my 2 year old and my 6 month old girls. The beautiful colors and easy to fill out pages will make for some wonderful memories to look back on with my children. No overthinking is required with these Kept books which is always a plus for my mom brain. So happy with these books

For all childhood memories!

I was so excited when I saw an ad for this on IG, that I even bought one for my future kid! I don’t have many memories from when I was younger, so when I was pregnant, I knew I wanted to document EVERYTHING! I have a pregnancy book and I’ve been writing on notecards for the past 6 months, of small milestones or cute things my daughter says/does. The fact that this book is pregnancy-18 years was a huge selling point for me! I also looove that there are prompts, in addition to blank spaces to write whatever you want. The journal is timeless and I can’t wait to give it to my daughter on her 19th birthday!

Perfect Gift for Pregnant Wife

This was a perfect gift for my pregnant wife. The book is beautiful and the prompts are thoughtful but not sappy, ridiculous or over-wrought. And there's enough space to write as much as you want, but not so much space that it feels like you need to journal every single day to "keep up" with the amount of pages.

Amazing promts!

I've been stressed about what to record for my babies to look back on. This book has it all, hits all the highlights, and leaves room for interpretation. You can literally make this book everything you want it to be for your kids in the future !
