For parents who can feel the small moments slipping by

Today is already becoming a memory. Save it while you can.

See how one small note becomes part of their tree.

Gratitude Tree is a two-minute-a-day journal for the moments you don’t want to lose. Write one small note of pride, joy or a laugh you shared with your child, and watch it grow into a tree you can share with them one day. Make a birthday extra special, or share it on a day they really need it.

Two minutes. One note. Capture memories that grow as they do.

The moments we think we’ll remember

You know the moment.

Your child says something so unexpectedly wise or so sensationally silly that you stop mid-sentence and think: I will remember this forever.

But then there’s dinner, bath time and the email you forgot to answer. The moment quietly slips away, the way small moments do.

A childhood is built from tiny things: the wobbly drawing, big questions about where Earth stops and space starts, the unique way they say “watermelon.” And tiny things are the first to silently vanish.

A photo remembers how it looked. A note remembers how it felt.

Photos are wonderful, but they can’t hold the emotion of a moment: the swell of pride, the story behind it, or the hope it inspired for the future. That’s the part you’ll want in years to come. It’s also the part your children value the most.

Gratitude Tree is where you capture that. A line or two about what they did, what you noticed, what made you proud or grateful. Nothing polished. Just an honest note shared between you and “future them.”

How it works

One ordinary day at a time.

  1. Take two minutes

    Write a small note about your child, something you’re proud of, grateful for, or simply don’t want to forget. A sentence is plenty. Add a picture if you like.

  2. Watch a tree grow

    Every note forms a new leaf, flower or fruit on your tree. The tree grows as an image, while it is saved as a file that you can easily download and print.

  3. Gift it to them

    Download or share their tree for a birthday, graduation, hard day or good one. It’s a love letter written just for them.

While Gratitude Tree is made for the children in your life. It works just as beautifully for anyone that you want to show what they mean to you.

My story

Hello, I’m De. This story starts with my Dad.

I lost Dad when I was ten days pregnant with my first child. He knew I was pregnant. What he never knew was that the day after his funeral, I found out I was having twins.

Years later, a simple book of handwritten notes showed me what children hold onto: proof that they are seen, and that they are loved.

When I became a parent, all I wanted was to hear Dad’s small, simple, uniquely him thoughts. And I couldn’t. So I’m collecting these for my children.
