Read Part 1 here. Earlier this week I posted about why I wanted to create an unconventional baby book to document this first year as a family. Today I’m going to share a few baby book ideas and tips for making your own. Don’t feel left out if you don’t have a little person in your life though. Make a journal to document your first year in a new city, the story of how you fell in love or just a little time capsule of all your thoughts, hopes and adventures in this moment of time.
