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 is our third Kept book and I love filling these out for my kids. I often neglect them for a long time and then fill out an entire year around their birthday. I love reflecting with the very open and thoughtful prompts.
This journal is amazing! I’ve tried to create a journal in the past with an online app but struggled to keep up with it because as my baby got older, I got busier and it became harder and harder to keep track and make time to write. Also, there would be a lot of things that I don’t remember and would leave blanks. Kept’s journal is a game changer! The prompts help you to focus on the main things and not have to worry about little, little details. And though it gives you prompts, it also allows you room to choose whichever memory you would like to jot down instead of having to stick with the usual milestones that you’d see in other journals. This is the first time I find myself being able to fill out the pages without having to leave blanks. And I live how it covers from birth to 18 years, making it a great gift for my daughter in the future. This will be my go-to gift for future mamas.
Love these books. I got three. They’re beautiful, minimal and I love that there is an area to ask your kids questions over the years.
This is the perfect book to keep all of childhood memories and milestones. I am due with my first any day and excited to start filling it out. I love that there are fun prompts and guides rather than just a book of blank pages.
This book is so perfect to keep up with your child’s life. It is simple and customizable so you can write down what is important to you and your life. The quality is amazing. Thick nice paper to write on and the cover is beautiful. Will and have recommend this to everyone.
Great book for memories- maybe not worth the price tho
