Description
Because a year can hold a lifetime of little moments. Our Family in a Year is your companion to record the chapters of your family’s life, from laughter-filled holidays to quiet home rituals and the surprise moments you never saw coming.
From summer beach days and cozy winter nights to birthdays and messy everyday routines, this book guides you through the seasons with prompts that go beyond "what we did" and reach for "how we felt." It is not about perfect photos or staged memories. It is about preserving your life as it is now: messy, beautiful, and real.
Designed in Canva for ease and flexibility, it is as simple as drag, drop, and write. Add your photos, include videos with QR codes, jot down your stories, and make this book fully your own. When you are ready, you can print it into a physical keepsake you will be proud to pass down.
Because family life deserves more than a forgotten scroll. It deserves to be remembered.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Do I need to fill this out all year long?
Not at all. You can start at any time and add memories at your own pace. Many families update their book at the end of each season or whenever something special happens.
Can I use this even if I already have a baby or toddler book?
Yes. This template is designed to complement those books beautifully. While the baby and toddler books focus on your child’s early milestones, this one tells the story of your whole family — from everyday routines to annual highlights.
Can I use it for multiple children or family members?
Absolutely. Because it’s fully editable in Canva, you can include photos, stories and memories from everyone, or even create separate versions for different family members.
Do I need Canva experience?
Not at all. The template is ready to go and very beginner-friendly. If you can drag, drop and type, you can complete this book. And if you get stuck, I can share tutorials, tips and support to help you along the way.
Can I print it?
Yes. Once you’ve finished editing, you can print directly through Canva. The quality is beautiful and the process is simple.
Can I include videos or audio?
Yes. You can add QR codes that link to videos, voice messages or anything else you want to include, making your book even more interactive and meaningful.
