Kids really do say the funniest things.

My son has always had a way with words.

I would find myself giggling and hoping I would remember, but just in case, I started jotting it all down: the one-liners, the mispronunciations, the little glimpses of who he was becoming.

I always imagined that one day, when he’s grown, those scribbles would be a gift...a window back into his childhood through my eyes.

Then one night, while searching for the perfect gift for my best friend (a soon-to-be new mom), the idea for Heart Journals was born.
