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?

  1. It’s actually easy and fun to fill out without being overwhelming.
  2. The prompts are less focused on statistics and more on the things that parents actually care about.
  3. 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?

  1. The binding is smyth-sewn (strongest binding ever).
  2. The paper is thick #80 premium paper from a wind-powered mill in Canada.
  3. 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.

Gorgeous keepsake for my girls

We bought two- and are playing catch up since I didn’t start a baby book from the beginning. Easy prompts to make progress in recording such fond memories from pregnancy to present. They are well crafted, designed well, and will be cherished for years to come.

Beautiful Books

These books are beautiful and well-made. I ordered three- one for each of my children- and I've enjoyed getting started writing in them. I ordered the Ocean, Forest, and Rose colors and each are so pretty in person! I love all the different pages- I look forward to recording these memories.

A gift for my husband + sisters

I decided to take advantage of the Mother's Day sale and get this for my newly pregnant sisters (yes, both!) and for my husband for Father's Day so we could do this together to honor our first daughter who was just born a fe months earlier! The books are truly so beautiful and of very nice quality.

Simple and beautifully made!!

I fell in the camp of not even buying a baby book because I knew I wouldn’t keep up with this. I came across Kept right before my daughter turned one and it was perfect timing. The book focuses on memories over statistics and was the perfect baby book for a type B mom like me. It approachable, customizable and not overwhelming!! 10/10
