Our Story, For My Daughter: Memory Journal Through Childhood for the First 18 Years Together (Parent & Child)

This book is beautiful. Only just discovered it so going to have to think back a few years! I bought it as I wanted to start asking yearly questions on birthdays and have somewhere to write them, which the notes page is perfect for.

This is literally the loveliest memory book I’ve ever seen.. Really lovely, and goes right up to the age of 18.. Beautiful pages and lots of space to write down your memories.. I’m delighted at this and so happy I purchased it.

This is the perfect gift for anyone with a new born. Fill out each year and gift to your daughter when they turn 18. It's something I'd have loved as I can't remember my childhood very well. My partner thought the same as he would not have something to remember his mum by. Definitely worth every penny to write those memories down and to then look back on.

I stumbled across this book by accident when I was looking for a gift for my niece for her 16th birthday and had to treat myself and my daughter.This IS not a baby record book. Customers who want a baby record book need to buy ... well a baby record book!This book is split down in to sections for each year of your child's life asking the same questions each year so you can build up a picture of their childhood until finally you give them the completed book for their 18th birthday (... there's also a version if you have a son with the same questions in but with a more boyish colour scheme).My daughter is four in a few weeks but luckily I've kept a Word doc with memorable dates and mile stones plus I have tons of photos and a photobook for each year of her life so I have been able to complete the first three years (birth to one / one to two and two to three) easily.It has been wonderful looking back and I hope my daughter is pleased with the result.There's a tiny space for the following questions :A few of your favourite thingsA few of my favourite thingsWhere we liveWho we live withAilments this yearHalf a page for the following :For the record (I've used this for Christmas no 1, top grossing film, football premiership winner, prime minister etc)What you are likeThings you have done and saidThings that have happened in the world this yearAdventures we have had this yearAdventures I would love to have with you in the coming yearMy hopes and dreams for the next 12 monthsMy predictions of what you will be like when you grow upA full page for:How I feel about our year togetherA full blank page (I've used this to write extra bits and also printed out mini photos to stick in)Plus space for a small photoAs you can probably tell I love to write but the amount of space you have to fill isn't daunting even for someone who isn't big on writing. Plus I've used small writing to squeeze more in but you can always use large handwriting to fill the space.I think this is a lovely idea and it would make a wonderful gift to a mum with a new baby. Even when time is tight with a newborn you could jot notes on a post it for each section and complete the book at a later date when time isn't such an issue.Off the back of this I've also bought "Dear Mum From You To Me" for myself to complete to give to my daughter and also one for my mum to complete for me (which will evensually go to my daughter) plus the Dad version for my dad ... much more writing required here and much more challenging questions but I'm looking foward to writing in mine and reading the books my parents complete.All in all my daughter is going to have quite a bit of bedtime reading ready for her when she grows up.

Lovely keepsake and wonderful idea. Repetitive questions for each age up until 18th birthday. Shame that the rear cover was dirty on receipt though.

Love this book to keep memories of my daughter. I fill this book out every year on my daughters birthday with the milestones she hits and I plan to give her this on her 16th birthday.Only negative is that every page is the same so could change some of the pages to add different milestones.

This is a lovely book which follows on from the pregnancy journal by the same company. It has a journal section for each year up to 18 with space for you to write observations, memories and hopes for your child as well as room for a yearly photo.The book has a quality feel with colourful illustrations and nice layout. If you had the bump to birthday journal this is a perfect follow on or it could easily be used as a stand alone journal.

Just an amazing idea I so wish I had known this sort of thing existed when I had my children as I was really impressed with it. Basically there are different sections for you to note memories of your child.. Your dreams for them etc and on their 18th Birthday you give it to them. What a gift! One I would have loved to receive and also one I wish I could have given my children. I suppose it is only as good as the parent that writes in it but for a few moments everynow and again you would be creating the most amazing present I think someone could receive.

I am in LOVE with this journal. I first bought the bump to birthday pregnancy and first year journal that is made by the same people. I fell in love with the theme and quality of the book. When I came across this book I really liked the idea of documenting our time together.I spent forever searching for the perfect journals and wish someone had a detailed review video for me to watch before I made my purchase so I decided to make one for anyone in the same situation. Please check it out if you're interested! Just search "pregnancy and baby journals" on youtube.

There are very few book/diaries out there a father can use to reflect on his daughters life from the beginning. As there are plenty of diaries for mothers to fill out, this one can be either parent My only complaint is the way it is written and the organization could be a little different but over all is very nice. It is much easier to keep small notes throughout the year and at the child's birthday fill in the information. This will help you organize your thoughts and have better flowing story each year of your child's life.

thanks

Love this! So cute for my daughter and I. May order another for my new baby coming

Loved it
