I have 3 Childhood History Journals. One for each of my boys. I love the simplicity of the prompts, but the fact that they help preserve so many precious memories. Promptly Journals is my absolute favorite thing that I’ve purchased for our babies.

When I first received this journal I felt a tad daunted and called it the life time commitment journal. But this journal makes recording thoughts so easy and it only takes minutes! I just keep it next to my nursery chair and write while I’m breast feeding my baby. I would for sure recommend it to anyone with a child!
Rowan O.
I received this journal for Mothers Day and I absolutely love it. I am recommending it for all the new moms in my life!
Lauren V.
This was a perfect baby shower gift!
Staci M.
I love this journal so much! It thinks of everything for me.
Milaniya O.
I love keeping track of all of my kids milestones. This book gives great ideas on what to write down to always look back on when they will grow up.
Christine T.
So far I love it! I can’t wait to show this to my little guy one day.
Courtney C.
Love having a dedicated space to quickly document memories!
Summer S.
I love this journal so far! I'm doing it a little differently because I didn't know about Promptly before and bought it for my son who is already a year old. I thought it would be difficult to fill out some of the parts from pregnancy and his first year, but so far I've found that most of the prompts jog my memory enough to still be able to write something down. I got one for my now-3-year-old as well and I'm hopeful that I'll have the same experience filling his out.
Hannah H.
Really happy with my promptly childhood journal. It has all the prompts needed for a baby book, but with a grown up look. I love that there are blank journal pages after each section where I can write letters to my baby. The cover and paper are high quality - I’d definitely recommend.
Nicole W.
I had big plans for making a scrapbook of my son's life every year but let's face it, that will never happen! This makes me slow down and do some reflecting every year of his life, but is something I can realistically keep up with. It will also be such a precious gift for him to read some day.
Chava H.
Love how detailed the questions are!!
Jessica T.
Simple to use and absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommend!
Alicia L.
I bought these for my daughters (even though one is already older ) AND THEYRE AMAZING I feel like a better mom for capturing these moments, I’m going to buy the marriage one
Konstantina S.
I bought as a gift and my friend absolutely loves it.
Mama D.
My first baby is almost a year old, but I saw this product and knew I needed it. What I’ve learned is that with a Promptly Journal, it’s really never too late! I had a blank, lined journal where I would write little letters to her, but over the course of her first year, I’ve been terrible at keeping up. What I love about Promptly Journals is that the two pages of prompts in each section guide your writing. I think the main reason why I couldn’t keep up with the other journal I was keeping for my daughter is because sometimes I just didn’t know what to write! Promptly removes that burden completely with its questions. I was worried that because I started late I wouldn’t be able to fill out some of the pages, but it’s as simple as looking through my pictures from each time period (1st trimester —> 1 year) and having certain memories triggered enough to answer the questions the journal asks. I plan to have a Promptly Journal for each of my kids, I love them so much!!
The more sentimental reason for my purchase is from personal experience. I think my relationship with my own mom would Be very different if I had an inside view on what she thought/thinks of me. She is very private about her emotions and though I’m not so private, I never want my daughter to doubt that throughout her adolescence I thought of her often and with love.
Definitely worth the purchase!
Peyton B.
I love the layout, spots for more than just words like pictures and footprints, as well as that it’s 0-18years all in one book.
Katrina N.
Its awesum. Love this book
Christine Y.
This is my first baby, and I love that I can start this tradition with my first one and be able to write down all the memories! I’m very sentimental so a journal like this is so special to me and I love that I can look back through out the years and remember all the details.
Denise W.
I bought it for my daughter as a gift for her first child. She and I both picked out the same journal so we knew it was “the one”.
When she received it I couldn’t wait to see it; it was more than I expected. Thank you.
I wanted her to have something similar to the one I had when she was growing up. This was the closest we could find. Her’s went through college and until she got married.
Katie O.
I was looking for a combined pregnancy journal/childhood history book for my second son... something more than a baby book that also had a clean, modern, and neutral design. That's when I discovered Promptly. There is literally nothing else on the market like my Promptly Childhood History book, and I couldn't love it more! I am going to go back and buy one for my firstborn now. And for every child after! I wish I had known about the Miscarriage journal, as I've personally experienced two pregnancy losses and know I would have benefited greatly from such a wonderful resource. I can't wait to refer all of my friends & family to Promptly for high quality, easy-to-use, aestethically pleasing journals!
Michele M.
This book is great! I was struggling to find a book to document memories without being overwhelmed and this is perfect for my first child! And seems like something I would do for children to follow!
Annick M.
My husband and I are expecting our first child in July and wanted to find a journal we could write in and share with him as he got older. It's something we both wish our parents had done for us. This journal has everything we want and it's fun reminiscing as we write about the first and second trimesters. I can't wait to fill it up.
Katie A.
Love how it is organized and we can't wait to start filling in this journal :)
Sara L.
Best journals!! I have one for all three of my kiddos and plan to gift them to each when they graduate high school!
Erin B.
I bought a journal for each of my kids and its so easy to complete and write down thoughts and memories as they happen. I keep the journals in my nightstand drawer for quick access. I love giving them as a gift to other moms.
Katelyn A.
Exactly what I was looking for to document my little one's childhood. I love it!
Natalie M.
This is such a sweet way to keep all of my son’s memories in one place. The book itself is sturdy and beautiful. The prompts are perfect. I wish I would have found these when I had my 2 girls too!
Amber D.
I am not a huge fan of keeping a journal but wanted to document my first child’s life so they could have a keepsake of all the special moments. Promptly makes it so easy!
Victoria M.
This journal is unique and just what I was looking for in a memory book for my baby. it will be a joy to gift to him when the time comes.
Charlene H.
I LOVE it so far! I'm due in 3 weeks and I have already completed the pregnancy portion of the journal. I am so excited to continue adding to it over the years! :)
Amanda S.
Love it! It was exactly what I was looking for to journal my pregnancy and our baby’s growth!
Karissa K.
Great prompts and questions. So many fun and unique things to write about. The journal is very durable as well!
Shalane A.
These journals are precious. I have 5 kiddos and so we have almost every color and they are beautiful. Love the prompts and how you can track life with your babes... even if you’re back-tracking like I am:)
Michelle W.
I love the new material the most, meaning nothing will stick to it every time I pick it up and set it down. The dusty blue is much more beautiful in person!
Alexandria L.
Such a classy memory book. I can’t wait for my little one to get here to write in it!!
Hannah G.
This was the baby book I always dreamed of and didnt even realize it. The cover is so smooth and luxurious. The pages are simple and inviting, with really great writing prompts and plenty of space. I love the simplicity of the design and information, it seems like something that is maintainable over the years, which I think is important. So many baby books are started and forgotten. I love that it begins with pregnancy, too! I cant wait to journal throughout my child's life and then be able to pass the book onto them. Such a beautiful thing!
Joanna B.
This was my second Promptly Journal order. We are expecting our second son in the early fall and I wanted to get an early start on journaling. We've absolutely loved the ease and prompted questions for our first son's journal and know that we will treasure them forever!
Kaity G.
Everything inside is perfect! It’s been so fun to fill out and remember the little details of his first year. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was on the spine— It came a little damaged.
Jordan W.
Love it , it’s perfect!
tdiamond111
I am obsessed with my journal! Love the simplicity of it and how easy it makes it for me to write down my children’s memories that I will cherish forever.
Katie
Love this simple and beautiful journal of my child’s life.
Kelsey
I was looking for the perfect journal for my baby and I came across promptly journals and new I would love the and I couldn’t have chosen a better journal then these ones!
Denise McMahon
I can't speak to the use of the actual book itself because it's a gift to my cousin but in terms of expediency, customer service, and all that, Promptly is great! The processing/ shipping department, I swear shipped it within 3-4 hours of me ordering it and I received in within a few days.
Molly Hazel
I received my childhood journal and it is so sweet, simple, classy and to the point. Such an elegant and easy way to write down everything for each kid in one place. Love it!
Sadie Stoltzfoos
I love my journal so much. It takes very little time to fill in. It's simple & to the point. I'm thrilled that my son will have this book to take with him. It's a priceless treasure. They make great gifts too!
Robyn
I actually received a damaged item, I contacted the customer service team and they responded pretty fast about how to send back the damaged item and sent a new one. Overall happy with the product though.
Whitney Bufton
I can’t tell you how much I love the Promptly journals. Their Are so beautiful and so easy to fill out. They help you remember all those little details that are so easy to forget. I love them so much that I give them to all my photography clients as gifts.
Sharice
I love this journal. I have always been terrible at journaling but this one I really enjoy. It allows me to be thorough but not too wordy and creates an organization for your child's life. I love that it's all in one book and all in one place. I use a Sharpie fine point pen that doesn't smear and it doesn't go through the pages and it works perfectly. I have one for both of my children and have been loving filling them out Sunday afternoons. I wish I had one of these from my mom
Evian Granitz
As soon as I saw the promptly childhood journal online, I knew it was something I had to have even though my son was already over a year old. It did not disappoint - its beautifully made and I love each prompt within the book. Not to mention, I get teary eyed every time I write more memories down. I can't wait to look back in a few years and relive all these moments that we often forget in our sleep deprived, hurried lives. Can't wait t purchase the love journal next!
Lindsey Gill
Absolutely beautiful book, wonderful dialogue. I wish I would have discovered these sooner, but buying one for each of my babes - big and small!
Chris
Finally, a journal I can document my life. This is great for a journal novice like me. I love that I can gift these to my kids once I'm done writing before they head off to college.
Stephanie Babin
I have purchased two journals for my family as well as journals for other friends and family for baby showers and anniversaries. I love that they are unique and well crafted. I have committed to getting these journals for friends and family’s for years to come. Thanks!
Elizabeth Burns
Initially, I was hesitant to make such an investment, but knew that what I currently was doing wasn’t enough. I’ve kept track of our two older children’s through a printed photo album and journals, but it never felt like a cohesive system. We are expecting our third in just a few weeks, so I made the investment and bought one for all of our children. I’m SO glad I did! I’ve already started transferring the information from old baby books and apps where I had notes and couldn’t be happier with the end product. The prompts are excellent, especially when you’re trying to backfill 3-4 years of information. I’m so glad each of our children will have this book when they turn 18 to look back on and see a condensed version of their childhood written out thoughtfully with places for our favorite pictures.
Jasmine Brink-Li
I purchased the Childhood history journal in collaboration with Jenny Sanders and I absolutely love it. Such great quality - lays flat making it easy to write in. The prompts are fantastic and it allows just the perfect amount of space. Every section has a place to put more detail and add a photo. It also allows for some discussion about family history since it has the family tree.
It would make a fantastic gift for the pregnant lady in your life - buy two! One for someone and one for yourself! I'm so excited to hand this to my son when he graduates at 18!
Becky
I love this journal - I only discovered Promptly Journals a few months ago (my son is almost three), but I love it so much I've already gifted one to an expecting friend! I love how cleanly the journal is laid out and how simple the prompts are - enough to get you thinking but not overwhelming!
Samantha Sorrell
I am not a writer! This journal has really helped me to keep up with a baby book. The prompts help send me in the right direction with what to write.
Maria
I always get the Childhood journal for all of my closest friends and even clients who are expecting. It's the first gift that I felt like is easy to use and meaningful. I have one myself and it helps me relive all the memories of raising my kid. Time goes by too fast to remember everything!
Tara DeVries Beyer
I received a Childhood History and a Love Story journal for Christmas and absolutely love them both. Now I'm back to order another one for a friend who is expecting a new baby! The baby is the same sex as their first so they already have everything they need, but this is a wonderful keepsake that I am sure they will adore as much as we love ours.
