Why we made this book...
Why we made this book...
We designed this journal for parents (like us) who wanted a simple, non-overwhelming way to write down meaningful things from their kid’s childhood.
The prompts focus on getting to know your child at each age, highlighting special moments from each year, and capturing the cute things they say along the way.



















frequently asked questions
What makes this different from other baby books?
- It’s actually easy and fun to fill out without being overwhelming.
- The prompts are less focused on statistics and more on the things that parents actually care about.
- It's built to last for generations.
My child is a bit older...can I still fill it out?
Absolutely!
We designed the book to be simple enough to go back and fill out, even if your baby is not a baby anymore :)
Why does it go from birth to eighteen?
We have nothing against baby books, but we found that most parents want to keep special memories from every phase of their kid's childhood, not just the baby years.
How do I know it will last?
- The binding is smyth-sewn (strongest binding ever).
- The paper is thick #80 premium paper from a wind-powered mill in Canada.
- The cover is built from a cotton linen material that is built to withstand drops, spills, and decades of regular use.
Can I put my child's name on the cover?
Yes! Simply select the imprint option above and type your child's name as you want it to appear. Please allow an additional 5-7 business days for us to customize your order before it ships.
What is the return policy?
Return your book for any reason within 30 after receiving it for a full refund, no questions asked.
This book was sent due to a dispelled name on one of four books I ordered. Shipping and service in general was great and fast. Received the new book within a week of my initial email explain my problem. Again amazing customer service. I definitely am happy overall with Kept and will be purchase for family and friends in the future. Thank you!
Collection of Memories Bound With Class and Gifted with Love! I can’t get enough of these books for placing all my thoughts on paper from my previous children’s childhood moments—-to my current child’s as they take place. Should have done this sooner! It’s the perfect gift to reflect on. It’s perfect to gift my children with so they have these memories later. It’s a wonderful gift to give a new and expecting mother as well. In fact, I’m going to need two more (once I get these caught up lol) plus an additional one (now) for my oldest daughter who just found out she is pregnant and expecting in March!
So easy to use! Effortless compared to other baby books!
I love the prompts and how easy it is to write out the details of every year. I’m even thinking of printing off and taping photos of each favorite thing! This is by far my favorite yearly milestone and memories book and will buy for every kid.
I wasn’t sure what book to purchase during my pregnancy for my first child’s baby book. I found Kept and I’m so glad I did. I love how easy this book is to fill out. It is also very high quality. There are open prompts instead of detailed spaces and I love the open spaces for photos of your choosing! Thank you for this wonderful book. I highly recommend it for any first time parents!
A great fit for those of us who are not creative or cannot keep track of it all!
Such a wonderful idea- bought this for my 3 year old son and was super easy to go back and fill out! I truly love how it goes through 18 years of age.
i absolutely LOVE this book! i am someone that always struggles with what to write down, but want to have memories written about my kids and i love that this one has so many good prompts. i also love that it’s simple yet cute it is. definitely my fav one ive seen so far!
Beautifully constructed and the prompts were inspired and thoughtful.
I love that this doesn't feel overwhelming but I can still capture memories for my son's baby book!
