A little bit ago I told a friend of mine about how I wanted to start keeping a better journal for Tyce of all the cute little things he does and the milestones in his life. I had hand written a few things in a cute little journal that was given to me as a gift but I hadn't kept up on it very well. I thought I'd probably do better if I typed it out because I can just sit down and get it done quick. She suggested that I start my own private blog just for Tyce like she had done for her kiddos.
What a brilliantly simple idea right?! So started the blog "Dear Tyce"
(I ripped off the title too, it was too cute. Thanks Mandy!)
When she told me about it I immediately thought of how you can turn your blog into books. How fun would it be to print out a book of my thoughts and observations for him to read down the line; one for every year of his life. Maybe give them to him on his wedding day...or when he moves away?
I quickly transferred everything I had written onto the blog and then filled in the rest with blog posts from this blog about him, as well using dated pictures I had and writing my memories from those events.
I shopped around and found the website Blurb.com where you can download your blog as well as customize the layouts, fonts, pictures. It was awesome!
(Please pardon the horrible pictures, why I always wait until the middle of the night to take pics I'll never know)
I finished his first book and got it in the mail a few weeks ago. I gotta tell you...it's totally legit! I love it! I hope Tyce will too!
Now if only I keep it up!
