She’s Heard All Your Stories. Now It’s Time to Hear Hers.
You Know Her as Mom. But Who Was She Before You?
You know her famous dishes, her go-to advice, and exactly what she’ll say when you’re running late. But do you know what song she wore out at 16? How she really met Dad? Who she was before she was anyone’s mom?
Most of us never think to ask. This journal asks for you.
Mom, This Story’s About You is a full-color guided journal with 500+ prompts that gets her sharing the parts of her life you’ve only heard pieces of. She fills it in, hands it back, and you keep her story for good.
It’s not a blank notebook with a question at the top of each page. It’s games, lists, throwbacks, and the big questions, designed so she’ll actually enjoy filling it in.
More Than a Journal. Her Whole Story.
Ten chapters take her from the day she was born to the wisdom she’d pass down, starting with the fun stuff and working up to the big stuff.
Start with the fun with this-or-thats, hot takes, the Mom Awards, and what’s really in her bag.
Go back in time to the rules of her house growing up, her school report card, the mixtape of her teens, and the crush files.
Meet the woman before Mom with her first place, the bold moves of her twenties, and her love story, told her way.
Get to the big stuff with becoming Mom, the traditions she started, the things she knows now, and a letter written just for you.
A Few Pages at a Time. No Pressure. Just Her Story.
She doesn’t need to be a writer to fill this in. The prompts do the work, so she can just enjoy remembering.
Checkboxes, ratings, quick lists, and fill-in-the-blanks keep it light. One-word answers count, no chapter has to come first, and most pages take just a few minutes.
- Step 1: Give it to Mom, for Mother’s Day, her birthday, or just because.
- Step 2: She fills it in at her own pace, in any order. The Together pages are made for the two of you to fill out side by side.
- Step 3: She hands it back, and you keep a one-of-a-kind story you’ll read for years.
Her Story, in Her Own Words
Her stories are the ones that shaped yours: where your family comes from, how your traditions started, why she makes that recipe exactly the way she does. Now you’ll have them in her own handwriting.
Every page is a small window into who she is: a favorite song, a first job, a moment she’s proud of. Page by page, it adds up to a keepsake you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
Give her a journal she’ll actually want to finish, and give yourself the story behind the mom you love.
Why This Journal Is the One She’ll Actually Finish
Most memory journals for moms are page after page of blank lines with a question at the top. She stares at the page, writes a sentence, and it ends up in a drawer.
Mom, This Story’s About You is different.
Every spread is designed: a playful prompt, a fun way to answer, and just the right amount of space. Games, lists, letters, and throwbacks keep it fresh across 500+ prompts in full color.
Give her a journal that feels like a gift, not homework, and finally check “get Mom’s stories down on paper” off your list.
