"Your Story" Wooden Baby Memory Book (customised with name) - INCLUSIVE FAMILY

"Life is an open book full of pages, you write your story as you go..."

This book is designed for single parents, step-parent families, surrogate, adoptive and foster families as well as those parents who don't wish to go by the traditional 'Mum' and 'Dad' names and gender roles. Any parent pronouns have been removed (like 'we' when speaking about family). Much love and care has been used to create this book. Please respect that this book might not suit all families, but we have created this book with nothing but love and kindness in mind.

Record all their firsts, special moments, and magical memories in our unique wooden baby memory book. Our custom baby book is a special keepsake, personalised with your baby's name, that will allow you to remember and record your baby's story from conception to adulthood. The book includes a page for every month for the first 12 months PLUS also one page for EVERY year from 1-21yrs! These unique books are a great gift to give your child when they get older.

Our completely Australian-made book is designed, etched, cut, sanded, packaged and made with love in our Queensland studio. Its unique wooden cover and back make it a very special and unique keepsake that will be cherished for years to come.
