Your parent has a whole life you've never fully heard. The village they grew up in. What it felt like to arrive somewhere new. What they hoped for before you were born.

This journal gives them a place to write it all down — in their own words, in their own handwriting. Before life moves on and you realise how much you didn't know.

What families are saying

For the families who asked.

  • "My dad felt touched that I wanted to capture his stories."

    My dad was so touched when I gave him this. I think it's the first time he felt like someone genuinely wanted to know his journey. He's been filling it in slowly and I can't wait to read it.

    Anish P.

  • "Things I never even thought to ask but I'm so glad are written down."

    This was easily the best gift I've given my Baa. We both felt emotional opening it and reading the different kinds of questions. She really loves filling it out and reminiscing on old times."

    Prina K.

  • "Knowing my children will one day read their words."

    There's so many little things that come to my mind about wanting to ask my parents but kids, life, work meant I never got round to it. I loved that these journals gave them a place to write it all down in their own time."

    Amrita K.

The questions you never thought to ask.

I asked my partner what his mums favourite cuisine was..he emotionally replied, "I don't know.."
She had passed away unexpectedly and it made me realise there were so many things we don't think to ask in the course of every day life.

Not because we don't care. Because it rarely comes up. Because life fills up with the busyness of the present and the untold stories get left behind.

There are hundreds of details like that. The name of the street they grew up on. Their first day in a new country. What they were afraid of. What made them proud.

This journal asks every single one.

The journal that captures the parts of your parents’ lives you never knew.

A guided journal to capture their memories. Their stories. Their handwriting. All in one place, for every generation that comes after.

How it works

3 steps. A lifetime of memories.

  • Gift it

    Choose Mumma, Papa, or both.

    Give your parent the journal and let them know their story is worth keeping.

  • Let them write

    No pressure, no deadlines. They fill it in at their own pace, in their own words, in their own handwriting.

  • Indian mother reading guided memory journal with her children, Pehli keepsake gift for Indian families

    Yours to keep.

    When they're done, it comes back to you. Their first memories. The life they lived before you were born. Their handwriting. Kept for you, your children and every generation that comes after.

Every journal supports a young life.

Making Mum Proud supports young adults aged 18 to 26 who have lost a parent — helping fund their university education so they can continue building the future they once dreamed of.

We chose to partner with them because our journals exist to preserve the stories of the people who shaped us. For some, that chance is taken away too soon.

A portion of every journal sold goes towards helping someone carry on, even after loss.

Your Questions, Answered

What’s Inside the Journal

Over 200 prompts written specifically for Indian and East African families.
Sections cover the family tree, childhood, migration journey, career, traditions, values, life lessons and more.
Includes nostalgic images, space for photos and plenty of room to write.

Who the Journal is for

Anyone who wants to capture their parent's story before life moves on. It works especially well as a gift — for a birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Diwali, or simply because you've been meaning to do something like this for a while.

Why Families Love It

Parents feel genuinely valued when they receive it. Children discover things they never knew to ask. And the handwriting, the memories, the stories — they stay in the family forever.

What Makes It Special

Every prompt is written for Indian and East African backgrounds — not generic life story questions. The guided structure means your parent never stares at a blank page. Hardback and beautifully printed, it feels like a keepsake from the moment you hold it.

Do both journals ask the same questions?

Largely yes — the core questions cover the same ground. But each journal has sections written specifically for that parent. Mumma's includes sections on motherhood and pregnancy. Papa's covers fatherhood. So while the heart of both journals is the same, each one tells their individual story.
