Tate the Great

I am the worst at baby books. I mean, obviously, I’m not very crafty, and I honestly don’t do to well with written journal keeping (although I’m working on it!) so I have two, half-filled books with zero photos. I rule. When Lucy was two, I decided it was time to stop writing her monthly letters on the blog, and instead write them yearly. It was around this time I discovered Blurb, an online retailer that makes the most beautiful books out of your photos. I decided in lieu of a traditional baby book, I’d make one for Lulu by using Blurb to put together a book of images and words from those years of letters. I called it “Life with Lu” and it was a huge hit with my family.

I attempted once again with Tate to create a traditional baby book, but as I should have known, I never got around to completing it. So when he was around four weeks old, I decided to go ahead and start writing him letters on the blog as well, thinking I would compile them all in a Blurb book once he turned two. And as luck would have it, Blurb is a big sponsor of Alt Summit, which I am attending this week! They gave all the attendees a free book, and you could use the credit to make whatever you wanted. Enter, my new baby book, “Tate the Great.”

I love the look of these books, and I love that I now have a matching set. Huge thanks to Blurb and Alt Summit for making it a reality! And for all of you lazy moms out there that can’t complete a baby book…there is hope!

(I also use Blurb to make my yearly photobooks…check them out here! Or check out the NYC + KC Blurb book here!)
