I used Shutterfly for L’s and I’m working on E’s still. I think once I finish school I’ll work on completing hers. Did Shutterfly have questions or did you just use text boxes to add milestones etc. ?

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! S just confirmed the T-rex below what you posted is the right one!!! Also, it's $3.75??? I swear we paid like $20 lol. If you bought it at a museum they usually have a really high markup.

Did Shutterfly have questions or did you just use text boxes to add milestones etc. ? They have suggested styles/pages that you can edit for your needs. One of our milestones was first time at Disneyland which isn’t a common thing.

Hey. I was up way too late last night so getting out of bed this morning was rough. DH got H ready and on the bus, but neglected to make her wear her snow gear so she’s going to have a boring recess. I got S ready, drove to the preschool, and realized that tomorrow is their first day back after break 🤦🏻♀️. I was going to go look at couches when she was at school but that obv didn’t happen. I will either go tonight when DH gets home or tomorrow morning.

I never did a baby book for either boy. And I SUCK at follow through for things like that (see also, I never did a wedding album). However, I tend to do better when it is on the computer. I've been searching a bit for an online solution that will have a bunch of questions to answer and then I can upload some pics and have it sent to me. Has anyone done anything like this? I have been looking at myownlittlestory.com and it looks close to what I am looking for but not quite - I'd want something maybe I could personalize a bit more - like it has the basic questions but then I can also add or move things around like the calendars on shutterfly? Any ideas? There’s a text one that I know a bunch of people have used. I can’t remember what it is called. Maybe tgrimes knows

You don’t suck. I googled because I knew it would bother me not to remember. It’s called Qeepsake. I hate that name. I also happened to find this link in my search and maybe it could possibly help jewels redtri.com/bump-baby/modern-baby-memory-books/

I also happened to find this link in my search and maybe it could possibly help jewels redtri.com/bump-baby/modern-baby-memory-books/Thanks! I was on that link earlier today. The Qeepsake thing (that is really hard to type, my fingers want to add the U) I thought was just words, but I'll check it out. I guess what I am looking for is something that I can log into, answer a bunch of questions and upload a bunch of photos and it will give me a book, similar to my family calendars I do annually.

Woohoo jewels ! We’ve got some super sleuths on here. B is currently doing his reading homework. Book is called Animal Costumes. 😂🤦🏻♀️ Poor kid. Since their visit was cancelled, ILs sent their Xmas gifts which arrived just now. I sound ungrateful but it was the oddest assortment. She asked me for ideas, which I provided, and she ignored. They ended up duplicating several things we already have, including specific books and pajamas (which MIL helpfully cut the tags off of). So strange.

B is to be doing gym time right now so MH has him doing burpees and skip rope, counting him down and coaching him down. HA! 'just pick a spot to stare at' 'ok 10 more' 'ok make a squat'
$10 says B asks when Dad goes back to work if this keeps up much longer.

So glad the board helped to find it! jewels I like that idea about game time. klong11 We got a bunch of games for Christmas. M2 loves to play and is fun to play with, but M is a really sore loser and his attitude makes it almost unbearable. It could be all around fun if M could just not whine as soon as it doesn’t doesn’t go his way. I don’t know how he got like this.

Errands took a lot longer than I planned. I did end up stopping to wash and vacuum my car, but I was out for 4 hours. My pantry and fridge are stocked, but I didn’t get to my house chores.
I started Cobra Kai while I was at my mom’s and so far it’s good. I’m still on season 1, but not sure when I will continue. I picked Ozark back up last weekend and I want to finish it. I also need to finish the latest season of The Mandalorian.

lahdeedah, I feel you on the sore loser piece! C is the worst, which is too bad because I really like games.

We love games and play a LOT. Luckily the kids do ok with losing. I just wish I could get them to play games without me sometimes. Why do I always have to play??

Agreed, I don’t remember my parents ever playing games with us, my sisters and I just played. Maybe because my kids are too spread apart in age and me and my sisters were all close together.

I may suggest they attempt to play one with the neighborhood gang. Might possibly cause WWIII but if it works, maybe then I'd be off the hook? (a mom can dream...)
