CHILDHOOD, A HISTORY

CHILDHOOD, A HISTORY

Color

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.

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.

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.

Love!

I love these! As someone who hates traditional baby books with boring monthly updates I love that these can be used to remember special times during the year.

Best baby book

I purchased one a few years ago when my first son was born and have now purchased one for my second son and gifted one for my niece. I love how each year is laid out and it’s easy to catch up if you haven’t filled it in throughout the year.

Lovely keepsake

Just bought our second one for our newborn baby girl. Hope to write down all the wonderful stories we make.

I’ve only used pregnancy through year two but found the prompts helpful and easy to retroactively fill in.

Beautiful way to share memories

I bought this for my newborn daughter and love how heartfelt it is to share memories with her. It’s a beautiful book with great prompts for tired parents to add experiences for our little one to enjoy.

Simple and Sweet

We were so excited to receive our Childhood, A History book in the mail. Most "traditional" baby books are full of sections for measurements and milestones, but miss the things our children will actually want to remember--what they loved, who they spent time with, where they explored. Childhood, A History is absolutely beautiful and SO thoughtfully laid out. Each section feels intentional to specifically capture the precious memories of each stage of childhood. We're completely thrilled with this purchase.

Beautiful Memory Book

This is one of the best ideas I’ve seen since having kids; there just isn’t that much time to create the memories as quickly as the kids grow. The colors and quality are nice, and the simplicity of the pages make this an easy go-to for jotting down anything memorable. While I bought this for my own, it would make a lovely gift for any tired mama who loves her littlest. By far one of the sweetest journals I’ve seen.

Ordered another for my oldest

We ordered this book for our baby and loved it so much we got another for my oldest and transferred some of the info from her old baby book that only covered pregnancy and the “brand new baby” moments. I love that kept’s book is so easy to keep up with, little blurbs that are easy to fill in as time goes on, and I’ve never seen one that goes all the way through to age 18. The book itself is absolutely gorgeous and very hefty and sturdy. The muted colors are beautiful and we have a rose and a sage green for our two.
