Oh Baby! Creating the Perfect Baby Memory Book

 

Looking for a unique way to capture all the special moments from baby's first years? As a first-time parent, I’m eager to record all the details of baby’s days, so I decided to make a template for a baby book to document the big moments. With a template, I can fill in activities or events as they occur (and it lets me catch up more easily if I get busy – imagine that! – and fall behind). ...read more

A Very Special Pregnancy Journal

A “Sweet” Baby Shower Game

 

Guest blogger Katie Nasche is a communications advisor for FedEx Office. Katie is a busy mom of two girls, and in her spare time, she enjoys baking and scrapbooking. Today, Katie shares with us a fun idea for a baby shower game.


I recently co-hosted a baby shower for a friend, and we played a fun and funny game I wanted to share. It was a spin on the children’s memory game where players take turns choosing two cards looking for a match.

We used a large piece of poster board as our game board instead of making baby-themed cards that players turn over. We then numbered a stack of sticky notes from 1-34 (you can do more or less for as many matches as you want). We put the sticky notes in neat rows along the game board, and behind each one we wrote a pregnancy or baby-related word like “Baby Girl” or “Epidural.” Remember – each word has to appear twice on the game board, so you’ll need half as many words as you have sticky notes.

National Baby Safety Month

This annual educational campaign is sponsored by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) to help increase awareness for consumers about the safe use and selection of toys and other products for babies and kids. I remember when my son was first born that “childproofing” our home to ensure it was safe for a newborn baby was a massive undertaking. In the spirit of National Baby Safety Month – and to help spread awareness – I wanted to share some tips and ideas that can be helpful for a (growing) family! ...read more
