We designed this book for parents who want a baby book with less statistics and more heart. Childhood, A History is a place to write down your child's story in a meaningful, but non-overwhelming way.

About the Book

The book’s prompts focus less on statistics and more on the heart - their ideas, passions, special talents, and funny quirks.

Spanning from birth to eighteen (including two pages for pregnancy) it includes yearly sections for birthdays, adventures, interests, and fun age-appropriate prompts.

Whether you’re a brand new parent or your child is a bit older and you want to “catch up” (it’s not too late!) this journal is designed to help you capture little windows into who your child is and who they are becoming.

Materials

- Cotton linen cover

- 80# text, partially recycled paper

- 6.75 x 8.75 inches

- Printed and bound in the U.S.

Shipping

No-Hassle Returns

Not sure if this journal is right for you? We get it, sometimes you just need to have it in your hands. Go ahead order the book, open it, flip through the pages, and if you decide it’s not the right fit for you simply send it back using our return portal. We only ask that the book be in its original condition, and for a small fee of $3 to help with return shipping costs.

Less Statistics, More Heart

After feeling guilty about missing time-sensitive things in our own kids' baby books, we spent a year designing a book focused less on documenting statistics and more on the things that actually matter - the moments, memories, and unique insights that we’d want to cherish for years to come.

Didn't start when they were babies?

Neither did we! The good news is, this is the journal where (with the help of your photos on your phone) going back is actually possible. And remember, it doesn’t need to be perfect! It just needs to be heartfelt.

Built to Last Generations

An heirloom to be passed on to future generations, these books are made in the US with the highest quality materials.The covers are made of cotton linen and the books are smyth-sewn bound, making them layflat and virtually indestructible.

Stress free but meaningful journal

We love that this is easy to record memories and notes to our children. Life with kids is busy enough, so this enables us to record special memories in a stress free way. We add notes between blank spaces, and inserted a pocket to keep some special postcards and things. One thing I would change is the category that mentions siblings. We now have two children, but miscarried several times. That was a bit of a pain point at the time, and I wondered if we didn’t have another child if our son would ever see it that way. I think it could easily be switched to “family” which would encompass siblings or others.

Childhood History Book

This book is everything I was looking for, I love that I can write down what I want to and not feel like it needs to be perfect. It is going to be so nice to look back at all the memories once I get them all jotted down in this amazing book. Thank you!

Got this at 6 months - so excited to keep for the next 17.5 years

I ordered this when my son was 6 months old. It's such a gorgeous book and will look beautiful on our bookshelf and near our other keepsake document boxes. I was already able to fill out a few pages for experiences being pregnant and his experiences before his first birthday. There's plenty of pages with prompts to fill in, but also several blank pages you could write your own notes on, or put in photos or ephemera.

One very special section that I didn't realize was in this, is the family tree. You put your own parents and grandparents birth information, which would be such a keepsake for your child when they're older. My husband and I have family from outside of our country, and being able to document some of these things is very meaningful.

Don't go out of business - I need to buy more of these for whatever future kids we have!

Amazing book

I bought three copies of this book—one for myself and a couple as gifts for friends and family. Everyone was so happy, especially with their names engraved on the cover!

Perfect Baby Book

Love these books. This is the third one I've gotten. I like that they are simple and easy to play catch up on when life gets busy and you can't fill them out in the moment.

What a beauty!

I love how different and user friendly this book is! I’m also a major texture person and the cover and pages feel so nice. The fact that it’s not an overwhelming amount of information to provide it great as well. The open space on each page really allows you to fill in the things that make your child unique. I cannot wait to continue to use this once my daughter has been born and with future children I have.
