I always dreaded having to figure out a way to document my children's events because it would just be lost and mixed in with my regular journal. I absolutely love the durability, format, and simplicity of this journal. It allowed me to write down everything I was feeling and going through during my entire pregnancy and labor- something I never want to forget. I love how it is organized. It gives me enough space to answer all the prompts as well. I cannot wait for my children to read it when they're older. Side note- since I can't whip out my journal every time my baby does something worth writing down, I text myself about the event to add in the journal later. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this journal and will be buying it for all my future kids!

I was gifted this when I was pregnant with my first baby. This is easily my favorite monthly ritual- filling in her monthly journal entries. It is a treasure in our home that I cherish the most out of any other baby gifts we were given.
It is my go to purchase now for mama-to-be’s. I love the color choices, the size and the beauty it brings into our home & life!
Kaela S.
Love love these journals and their creative, useful prompts. I have one for both of my littles and I look forward to writing in it often (usually do a little bit weekly because it’s fun!)
Carla M.
Stunning. From the unpacking, to the quality of the cover material to the structure of the content and the beautiful prompts inside. My favourite purchase to date for babe so far.
Lindsay R.
I’ve bought this twice as a gift for a couple who found out they were pregnant! Great idea!! They love it! My only complaint is I’m having to ship it to myself before shipping to my friend because there is no “note” option to write who it is from or to write a “congrats” message. It’s expensive to have to ship it twice!
McKayla R.
I absolutely love these journals! The Childhood Memory Journal has made it so easy to record milestones and memories of my little girl. Having a prompt to follow takes away the stress of feeling like I might miss recording something important. And it's so beautiful! It makes for a great baby shower gift.
I've bought several other Promptly Journals and love them as well!
Jasmyne D.
I absolutely love these journals. I purchased one for each of my children, and only wish I would have had these from their newborn days. We forget so many things during the years, and these journals are wonderful keepsake to record data and memories.
Tawny D.
Couldn’t recommend this enough, the best gift!
Iren H.
I’m so thrilled to have found Promptly Journals! It has everything I could want! I love the layout and prompts; and I appreciate that there is room to paste photos! I can’t wait to give this to my daughter when she turns eighteen!
I greatly appreciate the pen as well. I didn’t have to overthink what utensil to use- both the journal and pen are aesthetically pleasing and matches my decor!
Jadee M.
I bought this journal as a gift for my best friend as soon as she told me she was pregnant! She had been trying to get pregnant for 8 months and this was the perfect way for me to celebrate with her! I adore this company and was so happy to give my bestie a gift she can write in and treasure forever!
Mary O.
I love my promptly journal soooo much. I’ve been wanting a journal that captures every part of pregnancy as well as my baby’s life and this is the perfect one. I can’t say enough good things about it. I’m so happy excited to add pictures and use the prompts that it has and give it to my baby when he turns 18. All around great journal!
MACKENZIE M.
I bought this as a baby shower gift for my friend, and I like it so much that I’m going to buy one for myself and our little boy due in January. It’s nice because it looks like a beautiful hardback and not some baby book with colorful animals or shapes on it. It’s something that I will give my son when he is grown and he won’t be embarrassed to have it displayed with other books.
Caitlin P.
I loved my own so much I've started giving these as baby shower gifts!
Coley K.
I've collected these journals since my oldest was a baby and now we have 6! I also have the Love Story journal for me and my husband. I love the intentionality these journals bring to allow me to pay attention to my kids more and the little things I want to cherish. They are simple, yet thoughtful prompts and also so pretty and well made. The quality is excellent and I imagine them being an heirloom my kids can treasure when they're older. I've loved them so much that I keep buying them for all of my friends that have babies as well. Such a sweet, unique, and thoughtful gift to give.
Kaylie C.
This is my second childhood history journal and I’m still obsessed! I love that it doesn’t take forever to write a few prompts in and can fill it in as the time goes (too quickly I might add). I love that I have these to look back on and remember things I probably normally wouldn’t have. Thanks for giving us mamas this gift!
Katelynn E.
Love these journals to be able to document even the smallest moments of my babies!
Amanda S.
I got this for my brother and sister in law as a gift to welcome their newest little girl. Love the journal but wish I could have included a short gift message to them when I had it delivered to them.
Tessa Z.
Love the size of this journal- so compact and easy to store or take along to write in. The prompts are great. There’s not too much to record, but there’s enough space to add lots of memories!
Ramya N.
The journal is good. But I think you should provide for a varied range of users. You should also make journals for just the first year or first five years of age. Because writing journal for 18 years is long and a huge commitment. I get the whole purpose of the journal is to document every stage of your baby's/kids life. But not everyone may be interested in committing on writing for 18 long years. I myself was looking for something up until 5 years. Now that the book has arrived, I am having a second thought whether I will keep up to journaling for 18 years. Your journals are of great quality. But please do think about my point. Also, you can make journals with more pages for photos if you come up with the idea of making journals for first year of baby or first five years.
Rachel S.
Beautiful journal! Perfect prompts. Excited to fill it up
Gabby D.
I gave this book as a gift to my sister-in-law. Hoping she finds joy in being able to journal memories!
Jessica G.
I love these journals! I feel like they are a great way to write about each of my children. It makes it less overwhelming, and easier for me to keep up with writing about them.
Cameron H.
I used this for my first born. It is so nice because I can look back and remember when she started doing things and see how little she was. I can never think of what to write on my own so I love the prompts. I will order more for all my future children.
Julie R.
These journals are perfect to keep all the memories in one place! The journal prompts are helpful and fun!
Karissa P.
These journals are beautiful! I'm pregnant with my first baby and had been searching high and low for the perfect journal to capture the fun (and not so fun), moments of pregnancy and beyond. I found the childhood journal and it was a perfect match. Simple and elegant. Not cheesy like most out there. If you're looking for a beautiful journal that's simple, sweet and will last their whole childhood, this is the one for you!

I love these journals!
Naomi
I got this journal for a friend who’s expecting and it’s adorable! Love the quality and love the template. Such a fun gift!
Vivian
I purchased this for my firstborn daughter when she was two months old. I’ve been having so much fun looking back and filling in all of the prompts! Such a fun way to create a meaningful keepsake for your little one(s). Bought one for my sister who’s expecting too!
Kasey Damery
I love Promptly journals for my kids but have also enjoyed giving them as gifts! Everyone always adores these beautifully made journals. Thanks for creating these treasures.
Rachel Halversen
I've never been a journaler, but having prompts that I can answer has been really helpful. It's the solvent for those of us who want memories, but don't know how to journal from scratch and not feel silly.
Heather Flower
I love gifting Promptly Childhood Journals. They've always been well received.
Amanda Alexander
Absolutely stunning and easy to use!
Lee
Beautiful journals and I love the limited edition gift sets for mamas to be. My only complaint was that expedited shipping took longer than the two business days stated on the website. Nonetheless, the mama to be who received these as a gift was so pleased and can’t wait to start using her journals for her twins!
Jessie Zellmer
I wish I would’ve had these 5 years ago! I recently just bought one for my 5 year old and 2.5 year old. I will be getting these for baby shower gifts from now on. They’re so easy to use, simple and not overwhelming, and just plain beautiful!
Nikki
Love this journal & gifting to everyone I know
Hannah
Absolutely love the childhood journals for my two kids! The prompts are perfect, thought provoking, and very special overall. Will be purchasing more as gifts!
Ally
I had a different baby book for my first, and it was cute and very functional, but I’ve since realized I wanted a different book for keeping track of all his funny toddler quotes. I kept looking for something like that, and couldn’t find one I liked. I found promptly, and realized I’d much rather have one beautiful, timeless book for all of these stages. Currently switching everything from my first child over to this book, and am buying a second for my new baby :)
Alicia Tyree
These Promptly Journals are so sentimental and make a great gifts to new mothers and fathers. The pages are excellent quality - thick and durable, and the prompts are so much fun to fill out. Knowing that I will be able to document 18 while years for my children mean the world to me!
Cathy
I bought the childhood book and am absolutely loving filling it out. It has the perfect questions and details to fill in as well as places for pictures. So impressed!
Ninette
I ordered one for each of my babies. The pages feel so nice to write on. I love the questions to help guide you on important things to write.
Megan Davies
I’m very happy with the journal! The customer service team was responsive and easy to work with. I’m excited to fill the pages as I watch my baby grow.
Cassie Buckel
I am so excited to begin filling my childhood history journals for my boys. They are beautiful, well-made and a joy to hold. They will be treasured keepsakes in our family.
Jenilee Bowden
These journals are beautiful, easy to do and don’t get shoved to the bottom of your to do list. You actually enjoy writing in them.
Mary
Beautiful books. I love the prompts. Definitely A MUST HAVE!!!!!
Danielle Christifano
A beautiful way to document all of the little things that will turn into memories we will cherish for a lifetime.
Mary Wright
I so love this and wish I had known about it when I was pregnant 3 years ago (going back and filling it in has been hard, so it's looking a little sparse for my crazy boy). Its perfect for me as a lazy/chaotic mom. Life has been/is tough and crazy as a mom so I dont feel like I had/have the time for a 'proper' baby book, this simiplifies it for me! The prompts are simple and easy to fill in most of the time. I wish there was more 'first' spaces that were open ended so I could write down other things. I do wish there were maybe envelope style pages for the pictures as sometimes it's hard to choose just one! I will definitely be buying this again for my next babe (the next one will probably be filled out better though).
Laura
Perfecto para guardar el maravilloso recuerdo del nacimiento de un hijo y su vida año tras año. La forma de presentación me ha enamorado, me parece magnifico, tanto el interior como el exterior. Recomendable 100%
Alysha Piper
These journals are the perfect way for me to document special moments that happen, as they happen. I love the look of the journals, they are simple yet elegant. I love the prompts for each year. The journal helps remind me to document moments and milestones that I otherwise would likely forget. Perfect gift and a perfect keepsake. I can’t wait to give them to my little ones once they are grown.
Erin
Such an important part of the grieving process, this booklet allows you to capture and reflect on all your feelings. The fact that it is offered to customers for free is amazing, and speaks so much to the heart of the Promptly team.
Kathryn
After buying a baby book that cost over $100.00 and being disappointed in the same questions over and over that didn’t really prompt fun and in depth responses, my sister suggested I take a look into these! I am OBSESSED!!!! First off they are $90.00 cheaper!! they aren’t huge and bulky, so I can easily slip it into my purse and fill stuff out while I’m at work or wherever! I constantly remember stuff and think “ I should write that in his baby book!” And then forget. Now I can take it with me if I want to! Second, they are so well made and feel like a quality product. They are beautiful! I love my dusty blue one for my son. Third, the questions are thought provoking and allow you to capture every detail. I love the extra space after each entry to write more memories etc and that you can add pictures. Overall a quality product that I highly recommend! So far the things I would add is birth places under the family tree and maybe more “firsts” like first time rolled over, sat up, first vacation, etc. but overall super satisfied! If you’re reading this, hurry up and go buy one.
Mandy
I have been writing my daughter little letters since she was born ( now almost 3). I thought I would much prefer that open format. However, I bought a journal anyway. Two actually since I just had a little boy recently. I can not believe how much I love the prompts. Some I never would have thought to write down but I’m so glad they’re in there. I appreciate all the room for details and stories. I also love that there is room for photos and letters in the back even. I’m really grateful for these journals!
I do wonder though why the outside of the green one I bought feels like lovely fabric, but the pink one I bought feels like smooth vinyl. I wish they both had he fabric exterior.
Micaela
These journals are so well made and thought out! The prompts are easy to answer and so fun to think about. I have told so many of my friends this is a must have to document the lives of their children!
Courtney Hancock
Mama’s I cannot recommend Promptly Journals enough! I searched & searched for a baby memory book that was filled with beautiful pages & helpful prompts but also left room for my own creative freedom to include keepsakes & photos! In these early weeks I’ve already grown to cherish it so much and love that it empowers me to keep up with my son’s life until he’s 18!
Georganna
It was the perfect gift for my friend who just adopted a little boy.
Sara
I absolutely love the childhood journal in spruce! It is even more lovely in person and I can’t wait to get started on it!
Ryan/Brianna
I love being able to write down all that is happening in my pregnancy! And then beyond!
Shantel Williams
Love the childhood journals! After my first child I started forgetting important dates and facts about my kids and this is so nice to write things down quickly so we can always remember them.
Jen
Such beautiful products- with so much heart, time and energy put into each thing you put out there.
Heather Alexander
I love the childhood history book:) Great prompts & a wonderful way to capture precious memories!!! Bought for my firstborn & can't wait to get more as we have other children.
Laura
I was having a lot of good intentions of starting a journal for my daughter. Then my second came and I still hadn't started anything. Since receiving these journals, I've slowly started filling in the prompts and gluing in pictures. I love that I can slowly do it when I have a few minutes here and there or else I'd never do it. It's pretty, practical, and something that holds pieces of my heart in since I'm putting into words what I've been feeling and thinking through this journey of motherhood <3
Brianda
It’s amazing!! I love your journals! My sister & brother in law really struggled getting pregnant- they did some infertility treatments. Anyway... their miracle baby has been such a blessing to our whole family. I gave my sister the baby journal for mother’s Day & she’s so excited to use it & eventually gift it to him. It’s perfect!!
Emily
I absolutely love the promptly childhood journal but if your looking for a more indepth review head over to my YouTube channel https://youtu.be/ARw_v7KptdM
Jessica
Such a great detailed way of keeping memories for you or family in the future
Aimee
I love the idea of this journals. The prompts make it so easy to write down memories.
Chelsie
Love the products and colors to choose from. Site is easy to use.
Mallory Dorman
I have been looking for the perfect journal and so happy I found it. My sister saw mine and loved it so much, I got one for her and my sister in-law for Mothers Day. It is so nice to have a one stop shop to put everything in to remember the entire journey!
Katie Jenks
I wanted one of the childhood journals for a long time but hesitated to purchase because I didn’t know if I’d love it. I finally got one & immediately fell in love! Within a month of purchasing my first one, I went back & bought another childhood journal as well as the adoption childhood journal for my other two children. They are all beautiful colors with the perfect prompts to ease my way through playing catch up on my precious childrens lives. It has brought me great joy reminiscing & collecting my hearts thoughts on paper for my children to one day keep for themselves. I honestly feel like it will be a treasure not only for my husband & I, but for my little’s as well. Thank you for making one of the BEST products. I am so so grateful!
Molly
As a new parent, I wasn’t 100% sure how well I would do with a traditional “baby book.” The prompts in this journal ensure that nothing is missed, but I still have plenty of room to write narratives freely! The journal is aesthetically pleasing and well-organized. Highly recommend!
Nikki Siroktin
The best idea for a childhood book! I have these for my kiddos and buy them for all of my girlfriends who are having babies!
Brie Walter
I was gifted the love journal and have enjoyed going through it, now I want one for my son since I never was good at keeping track of his early life. This journal allows you to jump in at any stage and fill in what you may have missed. I just bought one as a baby gift for a friend so she can start it early. This may be my new go to gift for all my friends.
Susanna Risser
I absolutely love these journals. I just purchased my third one (because third baby)!
I don't think there is a better journal out there to be honest. It asks all the right questions and gives the perfect amount of space to answer your questions. Not to mention they look beautiful sitting on my book shelves. #classic #timeless.
Kenzie
These journals are the best gift I’ve ever received for my kids. I love the prompts and how they cover everything for each section. These books have so much in them and have become so special to me as I’ve filled them out.
Brooke Dickert
I have always been a poor journal writer. It’s not that I don’t enjoy it or value it, but I have always struggled with consistency and the time it takes. Promptly journals have changed that for me and made journaling even more special. With the prompts, I feel like it is more meaningful than I would have just writing what came to mind. It also makes the task less daunting for documenting the development/growth/etc. of multiple children. I don’t have to spend a huge chunk of time to write in each journal—I can spend 5 minutes and get the same quality of information. This is definitely a MUST for every parent, no matter how old your children are!
Corinth Suarez
I am so in love with this journal. I love that I get to document my baby's life from the womb all the way to when she turns 18. The prompts are very simple so they're pretty much easy to fill out. The paper is good because my pen doesn't bleed through it, no ghosting either. The covers are hardbound and the style I picked is the cloth covered one that was a collab. I'm sure that this journal will hold up through the years.
I highly recommend this as a baby shower or mother's day present for those mommas that are keen about keeping memories!
Stephanie Hammer
I LOVE these journals! They're beautifully designed and high quality. I love putting these together for my kids on their birthdays.
Madyson Lamb
It was really important to me that I document my daughter's birth and life. When I came across this journal during my pregnancy, I debated if this was the journal I wanted. I am so happy that I decided to go with Promptly Journals! The prompts are perfect for the stages your baby is in. I tell every pregnant mama I know that these journals are a MUST! I would recommend these journals over any new baby gadget. My sister was so excited to get the adoption journals when they came out for her kiddos. If you're on the fence about getting one or not, I strongly suggest getting one! They're beautiful, timeless, and a treasure you will value more then gold!
