September’s Mommy-Made Book

Date September 25, 2008

This month I was sifting through my options on what kind of book I would make for Jacs.  I started on a “Let’s Eat!”  book- taking various pictures and writing the story line.  And then, suddenly- a miraculous gift appeared through email.  Well, maybe not miraculous, but a great opportunity nonetheless.  I recieved a free offer to make a photobook through Shutterfly.  I put the food book on hold and spent the late night hours creating a book about our family vacation to Canada.  So although this will be more of a family keepsake book rather than a bedtime book, I am still counting it for this month’s homemade baby book.  And to all those that believe that I could go into business creating homemade books- thank you.  It means the world to me.

    Keri, you are so smart. Jackie is so lucky to have you as her mommy! Keri, you seriously should think about the baby book business. You are so talented. I wish that I had half the talents that you do.

    Keri,
    Don’ t think that you can’t do anything. You can be/do whatever your heart desires. But seriously you really should go into business. You are so creative and I wish that I had an ounce of that in me. Thanks for posting so often so that we can see what you and Jacs are up to. Love ya tonz.

    I love the book! It’s really really cool. Dear, you can do anything you put your mind to. Making some cash on the side making books? Go for it!

    Keri,
    You are so talented! I look forward to reading your updated blog all of the time because it is always so cute, uplifting and I like to sneak some of your ideas. You are such a cute mom. I love that idea about the finger painting, I hope you don’t mind that I borrow it. You really do have a talent for great “mommy” ideas like your books and stuff. You should have an idea blog with different ideas to do with your toddler each week (you could make people pay to subscribe) or you could have little mommy and me classes that people pay for, you really do have a talent and you could make a little extra money on the side! Cute new book, and great story about “he aint heavy he’s my brother.” I got all teary eyed just reading it!
