it all started with a sprout...
I’m Katie, maker behind Life of Sprout journals and mumma to two (soon to be three little Sprouts). They are my absolute inspiration, keeping me on my toes whilst also being just one of the reasons I’m so committed to custom journals.
When I fell pregnant with my first I looked long and hard for the perfect baby journal which would let me record every little detail of his life right up until he was all grown up. I love the idea of building a big old record of every moment, memory and milestone. Something that would become a family treasure, something that I could give to him on his 18th birthday. I never found the perfect book, so I ended up designing my own. I sold these as part of my personalised photo album and memory book design business And Other Memories.
Then in April 2023, I was lucky enough to take Life of Sprout over from the lovely Laura. Her little one (nicknamed Sprout when she was pregnant) came kicking and gurgling into the world in August 2018. Like me Laura looked everywhere for the perfect baby journal but never found anything that she really loved… and that’s where the Life of Sprout began.
the big idea
We believe that every moment of both childhood and parenthood is worth remembering. Whether that’s the sleep deprived days, the squishy newborn snuggles, the glorious giggles and the seemingly ordinary moments that you will one day cherish – each and every moment is a magical milestone that deserves to be treasured and remembered.
We also believe that every baby is so beautifully unique and special and so are the memories you make together. That’s why we’re working hard to create a range of baby journals that are just as unique and special as your tiny bundle of joy. Every journey into parenthood is different, and the way we record it should be too.
Our journals can be as generic or as personal as you wish. Whether you just want to put your little one’s name on the front, or handpick the pages you want to see inside… That’s what we’re here for. We want to give you the most beautiful tools we can to record these magical moments in a way that you and your child can treasure forever. We’re creating more than just products, we’re creating family treasures.
