Between Mom and Me
A guided mother-son journal to help you talk, laugh, and grow closer—one fun prompt at a time.
If you’ve ever wanted more than one-word answers . . .
Or if you’ve ever wished your son would open up just a little more . . .
This keepsake is for you.
Between Mom and Me invites moms and sons (ages 8–13) to share honest conversations, silly memories, and creative reflections, all written and doodled back and forth across the pages.
Because connection doesn’t have to be complicated. It just takes a few questions, a few laughs, and a willingness to listen.
“This journal opened up topics I never would’ve thought to ask about. I understand my son’s brain better now.”
— Ashlee C.

This isn’t just a journal.
It’s a safe space.
