Our story

I'm Kelsey, the momma behind Remembered Journals, and I'm so glad you're here.  I wonder how much you'll see of yourself in our own story.  

Our story is a look into my feelings as a first-time mom 6 years ago.

The first year of my first-born's life was a beautiful and messy, life-changing blur.  One that I'm forever grateful for. 

But on her first birthday, I wondered how many moments I had missed.

I was trying to manage this new precious life and maybe missed the magic in the overwhelm of it all.  Have you felt that?

I asked our village of family members, friends, neighbors, and teachers what moments they remembered from her first year of life, and to write them down in a journal.

Remembered Journals started here.

From a momma's heart who wanted to capture the stories of her child's life from more perspectives than her own.  From a momma who just wanted, more than anything, for her child to feel loved, seen and remembered.

It's become our daughter's favorite tradition and keepsake.  So here we are, a collaborative journal for years 1-18, for you to share with the people in your village.

Our three daughters each have their own Remembered Journal now (each a different beautiful color, of course). 

We can't wait to see them go from our heart to your home.

You are Remembered,

Kelsey

  • “These journals are literally the gift that keeps on giving!  Whether it’s to relive a precious memory, hear from someone you miss, or a confidence boost when you’re down, their use, purpose, and benefits only increase over time.  If you’re worried that it’s too late to start with a child, don’t be! Even if your child is older, the journal will still be meaningful for them as they grow up.” -Liz

  • “I LOVE THESE JOURNALS!!!  I am the type of person who will look for weeks online and in every store for a journal that fulfills the purpose I want, and is still great quality/looks good.  The free space in these is so great so you can write as big or small as you want. Also there are little prompts to get you started if you need ideas.  I get so excited to order more for my friends having kids because it really is the gift that keeps on giving.  For sure recommend!” -Mary
