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

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.

Guilt, Gone!

My children are ages 9 and 6. While I purchased baby books for them, I only filled out a page or two. I have had lingering guilt since then! Thanks to Kept, my guilt is GONE! I am so excited to fill these out. I dutifully blogged every month but wanted a handwritten keepsake for them. This is the solution, and I look forward to filling it out with them. They are at an age where they are starting to ask me what their first word was, etc., and will love seeing me complete this project and learning about what they were like as babies!

A sweet alternative

These books are so beautifully made and a great way to pivot for those of us who didn’t keep up with the regular baby book. Thankful to have found something that works better for us!

Such a sweet memory book.

I love how we can write little memories. Myself, I don't remember much of my childhood. Yes, there's pictures, but I don't know the whole story. And my mom can't recall much either. My husband remembers so much so he does his mom. Not only do I want to be able to recall the stories and memories, but I hope my children can appreciate it when they carry on and have children of their own too.

So happy!

Now I did start with a random baby book I’d found, BUT it was just a place keeper I swear! I was waiting to get my Kept book. I asked for my birthday and christmas, to no avail! Then I finally got it for myself! The book is like nothing I’ve seen in a baby book. I am truly so so excited to fill out all of the questions regarding my baby’s life! It is in depth in the way a personalized baby book should be. Of course I want to remember his milestones and growth but more importantly what HE was like as a baby, toddler, child, and teen. This book captures my sons life, but more his personality which is more important to me. I am super satisfied!

So thoughtful

It is obvious how much thought and care were put into the creation of this journal. The questions are thought provoking and make me sentimental and nostalgic for moments that are right in front of me! The physical journal itself is well made and beautiful.
