Mom’s Story

Some of the most important stories in a family never make it into photos—they live in a mom’s memory.

Mom’s Story is a guided keepsake journal by bestselling artist and author Korie Herold, designed to help moms of any age record the moments, lessons, and stories they want to pass down. Thoughtful prompts and plenty of writing space make it easy for her to move through her childhood, school years, work, family life, and the values she hopes to share.

It’s a meaningful gift for Mother’s Day, birthdays, or any season when you want to say: “Your story matters to us.”

What’s inside

The journal is organized into sections that walk her through different chapters of her life, including:

• Early Childhood – home, family, and favorite playtime memories
• School Years – friends, teachers, and “who I thought I’d be one day”
• Work and Travel – first jobs, favorite trips, and big turning points
• Love and Family – relationships, parenting stories, and what surprised her most about becoming a mom
• Character and Values – what she believes, what she’s learned, and what she hopes to pass down
• Hypotheticals and Curiosities – questions she’s asked herself, what she might do differently
• Words of Wisdom – space for letters and advice to her children and future generations

Prompts are specific enough to get her started, but open enough to let her tell stories in her own way.

Special features

• Elegant linen cover with gold foil
• Acid-free, archival paper
• Layflat design for easier writing
• Thoughtful prompts and clean layouts that invite reflection without feeling overwhelming

This is the kind of book that becomes a family heirloom—something you’ll pull out years from now to remember her voice and perspective.

Why we carry it

At The Commonplace Company, planning and writing are acts of care—for yourself and your people. Mom’s Story gives that care a beautiful, tangible form: a place for a mother to gather her memories and wisdom so her family can return to them, again and again, in every season of life.
