My Story

It’s funny what you remember.

The funny things they said. The songs they played on repeat. The little routines that somehow became the best parts of your day.

When my son was six, I realised how many of those tiny details from his early years I wished I’d written down. I had plenty of photos, but I wanted to remember the stories behind them too.

Then, when my daughter was a baby, I started thinking about how I could capture more of our everyday life as it happened. Not every moment or milestone. Just the little things that made our family us.

From one mum to another... this is why I created Wildfolk.

The idea for Wildfolk came to me when my daughter was about six months old. I was in the thick of baby life, running on coffee and watching the days fly by.

I wanted a way to bring our photos and stories together without taking on another big project. Something I could work on a little at a time, come back to whenever I liked, and eventually turn into a book we could all enjoy.

So I started creating memory book templates that were beautiful, flexible and easy to make your own, with thoughtful prompts to help capture the details you might not think to write down.

What began as a way to remember my own family’s story became Wildfolk Memory Books.

That’s why I created Wildfolk.

Not to give you another thing to keep up with, but to make it easier to turn the photos you’re already taking into something you can hold onto.

Add a photo, write down a funny little phrase, capture a favourite routine or leave a page for another day. There’s no right way to fill your book, and you don’t have to remember everything.

My hope is that one day, you and your family will flick through these pages together, laughing at the things you’d forgotten and remembering what life felt like along the way.

Because the little things make a pretty wonderful story.
