Food. We all need it. Ha! I get really hung up on it though. These days, it seems you can’t to ANYthing right in the food department. YOu get fresh food, then you worry about the pesticides, etc. on them. You get pre-packaged food, and different worries flood your head.
Can’t us Mommas just get a break?!?!?
I have started to find a peace with all this. It’s honestly just been a choice in my life and crazy schedule. Sure, I can continue to get frustrated and stressed out, but I’m doing my best to ignore what everyone else says and stick with my gut and what I believe is best for my family.
And speaking of family, I was recently introduced to something that I LOVED from the initial pitch! It’s “The Keepsake Kitchen Diary” and I’m in love. I’m in love because as I was reading what it was about my mind flooded with memories that I would soon fill this book with! Recipes created by my grandmother, that I now make with my daughters. Meals I prepped over and over and over with my mom that I’m now doing with my girls. I have been WANTING to get these all organized in to an OCD way that makes me smile, but time and organization weren’t lining up. Until now…

What I think makes “The Keepsake Kitchen Diary so amazing is what and how things are organized. There is an obvious area for the recipe, but what I like almost as much (if not more) is the section where you can write in your OWN memory while making this or when you made it in the past. You know as well as I do that memories fade with time. I have forgotten some pretty great memories from my children. Ack!

Honestly, I can’t say ENOUGH amazing things about this. My wish for YOU is that you dive in to see how this could fit great in to your life. Also, this would be an AMAZING wedding or wedding shower gift. And heck, a fabulous baby shower gift too! I mean, memories only gets better and more when we have kids. At $45.99 retail, this is completely worth it with what you gain in return 🙂

Id like to get together with my mom so she can tell me how to make her delish recipes. Thanks for the chance 🙂
I’d love it to fill with recipes and memories for my family.
Giving this to my Mom! What a great Mother’s day present!
I would love this because I would use it to encourage more family time together. My mother loves things like this, traditions in the kitchen, and recipes, and recording things. It’s perfect to start with all of us to keep it in the family.
Love that it’s functional yet can be an heirloom!
Love that it has so much room for recipes (about 200)!
This would be great to have for my daughter when she moves into her own house! Fill with her favorite recipes that we have here at the house!
This book is gorgeous! I would love to write down all my kitchen memories.
I love this and would put my recipes, my moms and grandmothers and my mother-in-laws favorites in it and give to my daughter for when she has a family some day in the far future (she is only 15) 🙂
I learned that the Keepsake Kitchen Diary is a one-of-a-kind heirloom and DIY cookbook that will bring joy to you and the people you love for generations.
I love this idea! I would put all my grandma’s recipes in it. She is 87 and I want these recipes somewhere I can cherish them for years!
Very beautiful and useful I think I would love to give this as a gidt!
This will be great to hand down to generations
What an awesome idea! A great way to encourage Moms and Grandmoms to track some of those wonderful memories in the kitchen.
I am looking forward to having a place to document on my cooking. Thanks
I love this. My sister just recently got married and bought a house. This would be perfect for her. She can document her recipes and memories to share with her children. This could be kept in the family and passed down thru generations.
putting my grandmothers recipes in it

i want to start writing down al my grandmothers recipes so i have them to pass on to my daughter when she grows up! this would be perfect for doing SO!
I would love to share this with my daughter and granddaughter – we love working together in the kitchen to create lovely dinners and desserts for family meals, holidays, gifts, etc. This would be perfect to document both the recipes and the memories! What a great family treasure it could become!
This would be perfect for my sister. I love that- in addition to recipes- she can also record her memories about it. I know that she would adore this kitchen diary.
I love all its pretty designs!! I love to bake, so this would be PERFECT!!
This is a fantastic idea! I think it would make an amazing bridal shower gift.

How fun. I’d love to record all of the great recipes I have.
I like the idea of associating family memories with food; it just makes sense! I also think it would be handy to make notes about additions or changes to recipes I made or would want to try the next time I make a specific dish. Right now I make notes like that on a secret Pinterest board. This would be better!
I would love to have this to pass down to my daughter. I love teaching her how to cook.
I’m looking forward to putting my grandma’s recipes and family favorites in there.
The best thing about the Keepsake Kitchen Diary is that it has pockets on the inside front & back covers for storing special notes!
This is beautiful! The kitchen is such a family place and I love the idea of recording memories.
This is seriously cool. I love the idea behind it and how you can fill it with memories and recipes all at the same time. Not to mention it’s pretty.
