The "Kids Said, I Said." Notebook

After our children learn to speak, they seem to constantly be saying things that we never imagined they would be. Sometimes its something really funny or very meaningful that you want to remember so that you can share it with them later when they are grown. But then, as quickly as the moment has passed, the memory too is quickly forgotten.

It’s like Nintendo (c) has always said, “Everything not saved will be lost…”

The next time one of these precious moments happens, use this notebook to record it, so that in years to come you have a priceless keepsake of what your child said and did in his or her childhood. Don’t forget to add photos in our convenient photo windows, capturing unforgettable moments that you will cherish for years to come.

This notebook, “KIDS SAID, I SAID.” is designed for you to record the joy of the moment, and each and every unforgettable memory.

My name is Julie Tsai and I’m a business owner, mother to three beautiful daughters, and illustrator. I studied at the University of Kyoto Seika in the Faculty of Manga Cartooning in Japan. After graduating from university, I worked in Japan for four years as a designer of women’s shoes. After getting married and having my children, I began to paint, recording the humor and warmth of life on paper. I started Julie’s Art Corner, drawing custom family illustrations and designing commercial cartoon characters. With the encouragement of friends, I created the illustrations for the notebook KIDS SAID, I SAID.

My name is Anita Fu. I am a full-time mom to two handsome boys and a handsome husband. I am also the proud Founder/Owner of Mommy Brain Creatives Inc. I graduated from the University of British Columbia with degrees in Psychology and Family Science. I have also studied Graphic and Advertising Design at Langara College. I like being an inventor/designer by turning ideas into reality. I love the feeling of creating something from nothing and seeing the joy my products bring to my customers. Knowing I make the lives of my fellow parents easier is very fulfilling.

This Notebook, KIDS SAID, I SAID. started with a casual morning phone call between the two of us. Although physically located in two different places, we began to plan how to design such a book for all children to leave a precious record of their memories. Half a year, and many emails back and forth later, the KIDS SAID, I SAID. Notebook was born! We hope you like it!
