Kids say (and do) the darndest things! Ridiculous, thought-provoking, amusing, certainly unforgettable…except we do forget. Unless we write them down.

The original Green Corduroy Book was just a blank book, bound in green corduroy, and probably intended for addresses that a young mother found unused in a kitchen cupboard thirty years ago. But she began to fill it with the amusing anecdotes of everyday life with her kids and just like that, the little blank book became a treasure.

We offer today’s darling, hand-bound Green Corduroy Book in honor of the keepsake our mom created thirty years ago. We hope that, as you fill them with your stories, the pages of this book will become priceless to your family too.

Green Corduroy stories from moms everywhere…
