For parents who don't have time for scrapbooking but want to keep track of their child's yearly milestones in a fun and easy way.

Start this at birth, wrap it up at eighteen, fill it out each year in between.

This is not anything like a baby book. It's a birthday book! It was born from the simple idea that birthdays provide the perfect annual opportunity to preserve a sweet moment in time as your child changes from year to year. So it's a multi-layered confectionβ€”annual touchstone, cherished ritual, and eternal keepsake.

This journal provides fun, fast, and casual birthday activities for ages 1-18, as well as space to stick birthday photos and a random picture from each year. It includes amusing and thought-provoking questions to ask your child, and a time-capsule envelope for stashing away odds and ends: artwork, school papers, hand tracings, birthday cards, invitations, and other memorabilia.

From toddler hood to young adulthood to every stage in between, you'll return to the same four activities for each birthday. The question prompts and tone may shift each year, but the essence intentionally remains intact.
