You're trying to do it all - raising a child (or multiple), running a house, and attempting to fill out that baby keepsake book. By now you've probably realized something important. A traditional baby book just isn't practical for modern parents. Even if you start it while you're waiting for your little one, it's tough to find time to sit down and add photos without little hands grabbing at the glue stick. The Baby Notebook app makes it easy to start and actually finish a baby book. By the end of your baby's first year, you can have a beautiful book commemorating their story.
Keep it simple without compromising quality.
With endless Pinterest and Instagram posts about creating the perfect keepsake book, it's easy to overthink yours. Stay focused on what matters most. You don't need themed embellishments and ribbons. You need the photos and words at the heart of your baby's story.
In our experience, a digital platform is perfect for organizing your memories in one place. Our whole lives seem to be on our phones these days. That goes for our favorite photos, inspiring quotes, and loving messages from friends and family. At Baby Notebook, we wanted to make it easy to create your baby's keepsake book right alongside all of that. That's why we created our app. Our easy-to-use, flexible app gives you the ability to build a book tailored to your family in just minutes each week.
We love the printed baby books our clients create through the Baby Notebook app. They celebrate their little ones' first years with a modern, clean design. The fonts and colors have a timeless appeal. As fans of minimalism and lifestyle photography, we wanted the book to feel clean and reflective of modern tastes.
These books are also practical. You can enjoy the book with your child without having to worry about photos getting torn out of a scrapbook, pages getting ripped out of a binder, or footprints getting smudged. Everything is preserved in a high-quality, aesthetic book worthy of your coffee table.
Pick the right app to create your keepsake book.
Here's our best tip for completing your keepsake book in one year: Turn on notifications. The Baby Notebook app allows you to set up weekly reminders to enter photos and text into your baby book. You can personalize the reminder by selecting a day and time that works around your busy schedule. Many families choose to set their notifications for lunch breaks at work, pumping sessions, or nap time. Get a step-by-step tutorial for turning on notifications in this Reel.
If we've learned anything at Baby Notebook, it's that busy parents need a memory keeping system that works with their lives. The Baby Notebook app is designed to incorporate memory keeping easily into things you're already doing. In this case, it's scrolling through photos on your phone on short breaks.
Baby Notebook offers a level of flexibility that simplifies memory keeping, too. Subscribers can hide pages that don't work for them. They can also edit headings and titles. The “Pregnancy” chapter can easily become an “Adoption” chapter. You can make it work for you without any awkward blank pages in your final book.
Your baby will thank you one day.
Our children appreciate memory keeping sooner than we think. When Baby Notebook co-founder Davia created a keepsake book for her son, she learned that this whole baby book thing isn't just about the family. When her son Levi grew into a toddler, he loved flipping through the pages of his baby book. He recognized his mama, hat, blanket, and bunny. The photos of himself made him smile. Levi pretended to eat birthday cake off the pages, saying “Nom nom nom!”
This experience gave the Baby Notebook app a new meaning for Davia. Her child felt celebrated and loved. This filled her heart with joy. Imagine how good it will feel to give your child a loving gift that you can enjoy together throughout their lives. Our customers feel the same.
“Utterly obsessed with our book! It was so easy to fill out while nursing or if I was nap trapped. We look at it all the time!” - Mary
