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

- Made in the U.S.

Shipping

We offer flat rate shipping via USPS for all orders (3-10 business days for domestic orders) and priority shipping (-3 business days).

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.

Childhood, a history

I absolutely love this book! I bought one two years ago for my first and when I found out I was pregnant again I immediately ordered another. Very nice simple design and easy to follow!

Curating Special Moments

I tried a traditional baby book and then a journal, but Kept provides the best of both worlds. I needed a space to share the most important moments and sweet and sentimental ones for my son, but I not a writer. It all seemed so overwhelming before Kept. Now I get to share these special years in one place and the best are the guided prompts. I love this keepsake!

My Wife Loves Working Through These

I purchased two copies for my wife in two. She has worked through them and has only enjoyed working through each page. Our two are 19 months apart and it is great to keep it in our memory how they are growing.

Amazing

So special and easy to keep up with! You can just pick up wherever you left off, 6 months ago or 2 weeks ago. Or 3 years later! I seriously don’t know why I ever tried to work with traditional baby books!

The perfect baby book

My kiddo is almost two and I never started a baby book but want to have some way to look back and remember all the small moments. I came across this journal and thought it looked perfect! It’s been so fun to through our memories and fill out the fun prompts for each age. Remembering his firsts, his favorites and the adventures we took him on. This will be the coolest keepsake for us to look at and to share with our kiddo in the future to share the sweet moments from his life growing up! I absolutely recommend!

Amazing

I originally started a book when my child was born, but was so overwhelmed with all the tiny details I had to complete that I completely stopped. Two years later, I can't fill it out because I don't remember those little things, but I still wanted something for my child, so I bought kept. The look is so sleek and elegant. It's super easy to go back and fill in the sections because it's all about the memories made, and silly details/ cute things you remember. Within a day I was caught up to where my child is now and can't wait to continue this well into his teen years.

Love the layout

I have not done a good job with my kids’ baby books. I appreciate the layout of the pages and the prompts in these books. I bought one for each kid. Now, I just need to find the time to catch up. They are lovely books.

Beautiful Memories

This book is gorgeous and has helped me collect beautiful memories of my kiddo! The book itself is very well made and I love that the pages lay flat while I'm making entries.
