Sound familiar?
You were sure you’d never forget it
The made-up words, the mispronunciations, the accidentally wise things they say at bath time. In the moment you think you’ll remember forever.
Then they grow out of it, and one day you realise you can’t quite remember how they used to say it. A note on your phone doesn’t feel like enough.
A gentler way
One place for all their little words
This archive gives every saying its own page, with room for when it happened, how old they were, where you were and why you want to remember it.
Years from now, it’s the book you’ll read together and laugh at, and maybe the one they keep for their own children.
What it is
A keepsake that grows with them
Simple, beautiful pages, so writing something down takes a minute.
- 01
Words in their own way
Pages for the words they invented, said differently, or used in a way that was only theirs.
- 02
The story behind each one
When, how old they were, where you were and what was happening.
- 03
A note for the future
Lined pages to write to them, for a day when these words are read again.
Take a look inside
Real pages from the book
Navy, sage and soft paper tones, made to look lovely on a shelf for years.
A note from Rebecca
I made this because the things children say are some of the best bits of having them around, and they disappear so quickly.
You don’t need to be a writer. A date, their age and the words themselves are enough.

Questions
Things people ask me
What age is it for?
It’s for the grown-up to fill in, from the first words in toddlerhood right through the funny things primary school children come out with.
Should I choose the paperback or the hardcover?
The pages are the same. Choose hardcover for a gift or if you want it to last on a shelf for years, and paperback if you’d like it lighter and a little cheaper.
Is it a good baby shower gift?
Yes. It’s a gift that comes into its own a year or two later, once the first words arrive, and it doesn’t date.
Can I use it for more than one child?
You can, by writing their name with each entry, but most families like one book per child so each one has their own keepsake.
Does it come gift wrapped?
Amazon sometimes offers gift options at checkout. Otherwise it arrives ready for you to wrap.
