About Chilli Keepsakes

Chilli Keepsakes started in the classroom.

As a primary school teacher, I often saw parents asking for something for their kids to do on holidays. Scrapbooks would come back half finished, or not started at all, because they felt overwhelming and there was no clear place to begin.

That's where the travel journals came from. Simple prompts, space for photos, and a way to capture memories without it feeling like work.

From there, it grew into something more.

I started thinking about how we capture memories in everyday life, not just on holidays. That became My Year of Memories. A calm, simple way to record the moments you want to keep.

And then there was my dog. I had baby books for my kids, but nothing for him. That's where My Years With You came from.

Each book is designed to make memory keeping feel simple, meaningful and something you actually want to come back to.
