Prestyn's 1st Year Photo Book

Prestyn is turning a year old in just over a week and I wanted to do something special to commemorate such a huge milestone. After some thought, I decided it would be really great to have a photo book for the guests at his party to look through. In my experience, photo books tend to be such a huge undertaking and being a mom of three, I’ve already got a lot on my plate. Between planning a 1st birthday party, doing the usual mom stuff (chauffeur, chef, tutor, laundress, etc, etc, etc) and taking care of Carsyn after his recent surgery I have little to no extra time. That’s why I love Shutterfly’s new Make My Book Service. It’s so streamlined that it hardly takes a thought.

Doing a photo book is a great idea for this type of event because it kills two birds with one stone. I wanted it for the party, sure, but I also feel like I need it for myself, if I’m honest. The first year is so full of LIFE. So much change in such a short time; how can I possibly remember every precious moment? I have tons and tons and TONS of photos on my phone and computer but I’ve noticed as the boys grow that it’s really rare for me to take the time to look at my photos when they’re in digital format. I forget they exist. That’s why it’s so important to me to have a tangible version of my precious memories. There’s something special about being able to turn a page and get a glimpse of a favorite moment and a sweet chubby face.

Prestyn's 1st Year Photo Book

Make My Book is incredibly easy to use; I picked a 10×10 book, uploaded 60 of my favorite photos from his first year and picked the Baby’s First Year layout. In less than 3 business days I received a beautiful, personalized photo book. It is free to try out and you only pay if you order the book, so that’s a big plus. I loved having a professional designer make my book for me. That’s a lot less time spent making the book and a lot more time with my boys.

I know I’ll treasure these photos for the rest of my life so I’m really glad I decided to make this book. As soon as the book arrived Prestyn and I perused through it. He loved looking at his photos, and I am excited that he has something to look through as he grows up.

What kind of book would you have Shutterfly make? Wedding, Birthday, Vacation?

It was a nice secluded spot that we might just make our new spot. The kids had a blast, I am glad it stays shallow here plus we didn’t have to worry about waves.

Can’t even see the word school. 🤣 Thankfully he has a evaluation next week to see if they can grow his chair more because he is definitely getting big for it.

Project 365 photo catch up. Can’t believe it is Project 365 photo catch up. Can’t believe it is almost the end of May! Had my hair trimmed yesterday, and my eyebrows tinted. The eyebrow dye last for about 4-6 weeks. It gradually lightens up over time. I included the photo of Annie after she did her “makeup”. This project 365 isn’t looking like I thought it would. I was hoping to use my DSLR more but end up just using my phone and using random photos I take during the day. Nothing specific or set up pretty, but it works. I’m still capturing memories.

Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point and the water was too cold for me to get in but just kept dipping my feet in the water to cool down. Unfortunately I got a terrible headache in the afternoon so had to cut the trip a little short. Next time I need to remember to bring medicine. Not sure what’s been going on lately but the last few days I have gotten headaches in the afternoon.
