The little things,
kept for keeps.
The drawings that cover the fridge. The handwriting you’d know anywhere. The ticket stubs and little treasures tucked away in drawers. Gather them here, and we’ll turn them into a book to hold onto for good.

About us
For Keeps & Kin Co. started with a stack of drawings I couldn’t bring myself to throw away.
When my oldest started kindergarten, he came home with a new favorite thing to make: a picture of the two of us, him and his mom, with a heart drawn right between us. Then he made another. And another. Before long I had more than fifteen of them, and I simply could not fathom letting a single one go.
I love all the little drawings my kids make. But as an occupational therapist, I see something extra in them, too. Put them side by side and you can watch a child grow: the grip on the crayon getting steadier, a circle turning into a face, stick arms suddenly gaining hands and fingers. Comparing one drawing to the next is like reading a quiet record of who they’re becoming.
So I made a simple way to keep them all. Photograph each piece as it comes home, add the words you want to remember, and when the book is full, it’s printed and bound as a hardcover for your shelf. Every heart, every letter, every ticket stub, kept.
