It is a LOVE STORY. ♡ I've said it before, and I'm saying it again. The Keepsake is a mother's story to her child about their childhood — the way only she could remember it. The Keepsake started as my own little way of writing notes to my son. Things I wanted to tell him. The funny things he did. The things that made me proud. The people who were part of his story. The ordinary days that turned out not to be so ordinary after all. The things I remembered that he couldn't possibly remember for himself. And then something happened. One memory reminded me of another. And another. A few little notes became stories. The stories became pages. And eventually... they became The Keepsake. So I created The Keepsake for all the mothers and fathers who have their own stories to tell. A beautiful place for your words, your photographs and all those memories hiding somewhere in the back of your mind. With gentle little prompts when you don't know where to begin. And whether you choose to type your stories or write them by hand, the most important part will always be the same. Your memories. Your words. Your child's story. ♡ Stories to inspire your own. Gentle little prompts when you don't know where to begin. Beautiful pages for your words, your photographs and all those memories hiding somewhere in the back of your mind. Because this isn't about writing the perfect book. It's about giving your child something nobody else in the world can give them. Their childhood. The way you remember it. ♡

Absolutely not. I'm no Jane Austen. Although I have watched Pride and Prejudice about a million times... That Mr Darcy. Dreams. And considering most conversations with my son involve him correcting my pronunciation of something, I'm probably not the person to be giving anyone an English lesson anyway. So no. This isn't English class. And more importantly, it needs to sound like YOU. If you're an essay writer, write the whole story. If you're not, write three sentences. Or simply answer the little prompts: Your favourite toy was? Thomas the Tank. That's it. Because one little answer creates one memory in writing. Three questions answered can create a whole page. Page by page, memory by memory... you've created a book. Your Keepsake. The important part isn't how beautifully you write it. It's not the spelling. It's not the grammar. It's definitely not whether Mr Darcy makes an appearance. It's that your child gets to hear the story in your voice. And that's exactly how it should be. ♡

Well... let's see. You have 12,000 photos on your phone and keep promising yourself that one day you're going to do something with them. Your children are threatening to phone Hoarders anonymously because of the boxes filled with school photos, birthday cards, drawings, hospital bracelets and goodness knows what else that you absolutely refuse to throw away. YOU are the one in the family who remembers everything. The first word. The favourite toy. The funny little habits. The holidays. The people. The stories nobody else seems to remember quite like you do. And let's face it... If you don't write it down, WHO will? You love having things organised, beautiful and in their place — even if the cupboard behind you tells a slightly different story. You look at something your child is doing and think: “WHAT THE... I need to remember this!” You tell yourself you really should write it down... ...and then promptly make dinner, put on another load of washing and get on with life. Sound familiar? And more than anything, you want to give your child something that nobody else in the entire world can give them: Your memories of them. A little piece of you, captured forever. Something that simply says: “This is how I remember your childhood.” If you're nodding right now... Yep. The Keepsake is for you. ♡

If you've chosen the Digital Keepsake... Of course! We all do things differently. Some good... and some a little iffy. Change ONE thing. Change them ALL. Delete a question. Rewrite a heading. Move a page. Add twenty photographs. Take ten out again. There are no Keepsake police. And if your experience is anything like mine, you'll be standing in the middle of the supermarket one day when suddenly... “OH! I completely forgot about that!” Another story. So go home and ADD IT IN. Your family isn't like my family. Your memories aren't like mine. And your child's story certainly isn't going to look like anybody else's. Prefer putting pen to paper? Our Paperback and Hardcover editions have their own beautiful, guided pages, ready for your handwritten stories. You can't rearrange the printed pages, but what you write on them is entirely yours. We've simply given you somewhere beautiful to begin. The rest is yours. Make the experience yours. Make the memories yours. Make The Keepsake theirs. ♡

Well... I don't really want to see your funny family photographs. Or maybe I do. YES! If you've chosen the Digital Keepsake, add as many photographs as your heart desires. Move them around, resize them, add another page. Go for it! If you're more of a pen-and-paper person, then I'm guessing there's a little scrapbooker in you too. Our Paperback and Hardcover Keepsakes have beautiful spaces for you to glue in your favourite photographs. And while you're at it... grab one of our Memory Keeper Sticker Packs and have a little fun decorating those pages too. Who said writing your child's childhood story couldn't involve a little cutting and pasting? ♡ Add the photo of that old teddy bear you had to wash while practically holding your nose because the smell was that bad. Add Grandma — especially the one from the time she was dancing and somehow ended up falling into Uncle Mick's lap. Add the beautiful photographs. The blurry ones. The embarrassing ones. The ones that make absolutely no sense to anyone outside your family. They're the good ones. This is your Keepsake for your child, so fill it with the photographs and memories that matter most to you. Make it something you'll look back on and think: “I wish I'd done this years ago.” And when you do... tell your friends to hurry up and make theirs too. ♡

YES! We got there! ♡ What started as a few little notes to my son somehow turned into the most amazing emotional journey — remembering the stories, the funny moments, the people, the places and all those little things I thought I'd never forget. And somewhere along the way I realised... I couldn't be the only Mum who wanted to do this. So the first step was creating The Keepsake Digital Edition — something I could share with you, so you could experience your own journey through your child's childhood. But... If you've gotten to know us at all by now, you'll probably realise we couldn't possibly stop there. And we didn't! The Keepsake is now available in THREE beautiful ways. DIGITAL — A fully editable Keepsake you can personalise with your own stories, photographs and memories. Save it digitally or print it yourself. PAPERBACK — A beautifully designed book, ready for your handwritten stories, favourite photographs and all those memories you've been meaning to write down. HARDCOVER — For those of us who love a proper book. A beautiful hardcover edition to fill, treasure and one day hand to your child. Our Paperback and Hardcover editions are available through Amazon, while the Digital Edition is available right here on our website. Three different ways to begin. One very special story. Your Child's. ♡ ♡

Well, that depends on which Keepsake you've chosen! THE DIGITAL KEEPSAKE No waiting for a delivery truck — or the barking dog announcing its arrival! Hit that BEGIN YOUR KEEPSAKE button, make your purchase and you'll receive a cheeky little note from us in your inbox with access to your very own Digital Keepsake and everything you need to get started. **THE PAPERBACK & HARDCOVER KEEPSAKES** Ahhh... now you'll have to keep an eye out for that delivery truck! Our beautiful printed editions are available through Amazon. Simply choose your edition, place your order and Amazon will take care of printing and delivering your Keepsake right to your door. And once your Keepsake arrives... Begin with just one memory. One word. One sentence. There's no need to finish it in a weekend. After all, you're remembering an entire childhood! So take your time to laugh, cry and enjoy remembering all those little moments that made your child's childhood theirs. The way only YOU remember it. ♡

Well firstly, pour yourself a glass of champagne — you've earned it! You've just taken years of your child's memories, stories, photographs and little moments and turned them into something they can keep forever. And that's pretty special. (I can feel you patting yourself on the back right now.) When you're ready, simply download your completed Digital Keepsake from Canva as a PDF. Save a copy somewhere safe. Actually, save TWO copies. We all know what happens when you put something somewhere you'll definitely remember! Keep one on your computer, another in cloud storage, email it to your child, share it with your family or arrange to have it printed. And when the time comes, sit down with your child and go through it together. Because creating The Keepsake is one thing. Sharing those memories with them might just be the best part. ♡ And who knows... They may remember a few things VERY differently!

Well, that depends on which Keepsake you've chosen! **THE DIGITAL KEEPSAKE** Yes — but don't be a scaredy cat! Canva is wonderfully user-friendly, and you definitely don't need to be a designer to use it. A free Canva account is all you need. We'll give you simple instructions showing you how to open your Keepsake, change the words, add your photographs, delete or add pages and make the whole thing completely your own. And be warned... once you discover Canva, The Keepsake may only be the beginning. You might suddenly find yourself designing birthday invitations, photo books and goodness knows what else. THE PAPERBACK & HARDCOVER KEEPSAKES No Canva. No computers. No technology to figure out. Just you, your favourite pen and all those little memories you've been meaning to write down. All you need to do is start. One page. One memory. One story at a time. ♡

The million-dollar question! Well, that depends on which Keepsake you've chosen. ♡ **THE DIGITAL KEEPSAKE** Once your Keepsake lands in your inbox, it's yours — which is one of the wonderful (and slightly tricky!) things about digital products. Because you'll receive digital access following purchase, we don't offer change-of-mind refunds once access has been provided. But if something genuinely isn't right or you're having trouble accessing your Keepsake, please send us a note. We're real people, and we're here to help you sort it out. ♡ PAPERBACK & HARDCOVER KEEPSAKES Our printed editions are purchased directly through Amazon, so their returns and refund policies apply.

Any refund or replacement will be handled in accordance with Amazon's applicable policies and your consumer rights. And just so you know... Nothing in our policy affects your rights under applicable consumer law. ♡

Well, firstly... CONGRATULATIONS! ♡ You've actually done it. All those little memories you kept promising yourself you'd write down. The funny things they said. The places you went. The people they loved. The ordinary little moments that somehow became extraordinary. You've taken your child's childhood, the way YOU remember it, and put it somewhere they can keep forever. Now, if you've created the Digital Keepsake, save yourself a copy. You can keep it digitally, share it with your child or arrange to have it printed and bound. And if you've been filling in one of our Paperback or Hardcover Keepsakes, well... put the pen down! You've earned yourself a little celebration. Which brings me to something I've been rather excited about... THE KEEPSAKE PARTY! ♡ A breakfast feast. Afternoon drinks. A beautiful dinner. Whatever feels like your family. Invite your child, pour something lovely, and present them with their Keepsake. Then sit together and go through it page by page — talking, laughing and remembering. The stories they know. And the ones they never knew. Because this was never about simply filling in a book. It was about giving your child something nobody else in the world could give them. Their childhood. The way you remember it. And one final piece of advice... Don't forget the tissue box. ♡
