When my grandmother was very elderly, my mother took the time to sit with her—asking questions, listening closely, and writing down her life story. Those pages became one of the most treasured gifts in our family. I always thought I would have the same time with my mother. I imagined us sitting together, sharing memories, and capturing her wisdom in her own words. But I never got that chance. She was gone before I could ask all the questions I wanted to ask.

Heirloom was born from that loss and from the hope that no one else would miss the chance to preserve the stories that matter most. This isn’t just a journal for parents or grandparents—it’s for everyone, at every stage of life. Whether you’re just starting out, raising children, navigating life on your own, part of a blended or stepfamily, or even a teen recording your own adventures, Heirloom grows with you. It captures each chapter as it’s lived—so your memories, milestones, and history will always have a place to belong.
