As a parent, life is filled with so many gifts. There are the big milestones — the first steps, the first days of school — and there are the little changes that are just as precious but can be easily forgotten in the flurry of life. This baby journal is a place for those everyday things, the tiny moments that make a relationship between parent and child so special.

Designed with busy parents in mind, this guided journal is a place you can write in whenever the mood strikes. There’s no pressure to record every milestone or statistic. The gentle prompts encourage you to write what you can, when you can, about what is happening right now. Cover months of your family’s life or years. You can write about everything from first days in the nursery to first days in primary school. When finished, you’ll have a priceless keepsake to share with your child.

Record your reflections with the help of open-ended prompts such as:

You last made me smile when…

When I think of you growing up in this time period, I’m excited about…
