What other Mums are saying

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
I didn’t realise how much changes in one year until I started filling this in. The friendships, the hobbies, the way they talk and think. It captures so much more than just school. It feels like a true snapshot of who they are right now.”
— Alex R.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

I was worried it would be too much, but it’s surprisingly simple to use. I love that I can delete pages, duplicate others, and make it work for our year. It feels meaningful without being overwhelming. I actually finished it.”
— Bec C.
