School Years Keepsake Journal

AmandaHill — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 23:30:00 GMT

Baby journals are easy to find; however, finding a great keepsake journal for the school years is sometimes difficult. This particular keepsake journal allows you to record important milestones and precious memories from your child's school days. There are also expandable pockets for every grade in which you can place school work.

The School Years Keepsake Journal is paperboard with spiral binding. For me, the bright colors make it paritcularly charming. Click over to Olie Bollen to check it out.

Keep precious memories in The New Baby's Baby Journal

I dig the cover of this memory book. The New Baby's Baby Journal is inspired by the popular series Urban Babies Wear Black. Inside you'll find places to put your most treasured photos and jot down important milestones in baby's first year. There are memory pockets too!

Since I have friends that are expecting, may buy this for one of them!

It's $17.95 at Psycho Baby.

No-Mistake Baby Books: Baby Butterfly

OK, you can still make a mistake in the Baby Butterfly baby books, but if you choose the typed entry method, there's much less of a chance you'll write "7 pounds, 2 ounces" when you really meant, "7 pounds, 1 ounce," since you can just hit backspace and type again. Baby Butterfly books are vintage-inspired pregnancy and baby books that allow you to buy blank, or--like the aforementioned--that you can fill in the blanks online and then order a typed copy. They also incorporate a rather unique organizational method, using the alphabet. Each page is a letter of the alphabet, so "A is for Anticipation" etc., and the paper is acid-free so there are no longevity issues. I'm partial to the bunny cover $68 (plus $10 if you choose the typed entry method).

DIY Baby Books: No More Blank Pages

Sarah Verdone — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 14:02:00 GMT

Baby books can make a new mom feel so guilty. If you don't remember to fill in baby's first coo and smile and burp, there are all those blank pages staring up at you for a lifetime. That's why I love Ex Libris Anonymous. They recycle cool vintage books into fresh, spiral-bound journals. You can write what you like, when you like. There are loads of topics, from Are You My Mother? to the How To Do It Encyclopedia (ahem) and many more. $12, $13 or $15 depending on size (includes shipping) at bookjournals.
