Meet the Dear Mom Journal

We're turning childhood memories upside down - this one's for you, mama!

The Dear Mom Journal is a perpetual keepsake journal to a mother from her child in lieu of cards for Mother's Day, birthday or just because.

Just imagine years of cards to mom - those baby handprints, toddler scribbles, childhood art masterpieces and teenage letters - bound together in one beautiful place.

The journal features:

16 pages of Entry Inspiration sorted into 11 categories by child's age and occasion

Luxe cloth cover with classic foil stamping

100 flat-lay entry spreads

Narrative Forth Founder Sara Brown

The Narrative Forth story

I'm Sara, and in 2013 I dreamed up the Narrative Forth concept and handmade the very first journal because one didn't exist on the market. Our Brown Family journals have become our most cherished keepsakes, and now it's my goal to share this beloved (and simple!) family tradition with you.
