This Family Of Ours: A Keepsake Journal

Capture the unique story, personality, and everyday moments of the people you cherish most with This Family Of Ours. Created by Anne Phyfe Palmer, this beautifully guided 144-page journal transforms the fleeting seasons of shared life into a lasting, treasured keepsake.

Featuring the whimsical papercut illustrations of artist Sarah Trumbauer throughout, the book offers an approachable, low-stress format filled with short-answer questions, playful lists, fill-in-the-blanks, and dedicated spaces for photographs and sketches. Rather than feeling like a chore, each prompt invites easy reflection, sparking laughter and conversation around the memories that shape your collective history.

Thoughtful prompt themes include:

• Roots & Home: Family origins, traditions, home memories, and milestones.

• Everyday Culture: Favorite books, movies, anthems, shared jokes, and beloved pets.

• Adventures & Growth: Memorable travels, careers, education, and shared dreams for the future.

• The Extended Circle: Dedicated sections for honorary members, mentors, and close companions who make up your wider community.

Why it’s a holiday & gifting favorite:

• An interactive centerpiece for gatherings: Bring it to the table during holiday weekends, reunions, or a relaxed Friendsgiving dinner. Pass it around after a meal to record hilarious memories, milestone reflections, and answers from everyone gathered.

• A meaningful host or family gift: The perfect present for parents, newly blended families, or gracious hosts who open their doors and hearts to bring people together.

• An heirloom in the making: Far more personal than an ordinary notebook, this completed volume becomes an irreplaceable snapshot of love, belonging, and shared history to revisit for generations.
