Art for Everyone, Including Children

Yesterday we bought our first print on 20×200, a website dedicated to selling great art “everyone can afford.” We found the print shown above, titled Ideal Bookshelf 1 , by the artist Jane Mount and thought it would be a great addition to our daughter’s room. She loves books and the print shows some of her favorites. It also includes some great books that we plan to buy for her in the future and acts as a reminder for us of how important it is to read to our little girl every day. If you’re looking for a nice gift for a child that they’ll appreciate now and when they grow up, 20×200 has some great options.

Baby Thank You Notes

In early December Jennifer and I used a service called Tiny Prints to send out our holiday cards. Our card included a picture of our daughter in front of our Christmas tree holding a baby-sized handful of candy canes and wearing a very big smile. Needless to say the card was a big hit with our friends and relatives.

Because our much loved daughter was given many, many lovely gifts for Christmas and I still have a number of thank you notes to send out I’ve decided to try using Tiny Prints again. Earlier today I went back to their website and found a wonderful selection of thank you notes. Now, in combination with Emmbook for Baby’s thank you note tracker, I have an easy way to send a thoughtful attractive thank you notes and keep track of who’s received one.

If you still have holiday thank you notes for baby to send out, I highly recommend checking out Tiny Prints selection of customizable thank you note cards.

Keeping Track of Thank You Notes

If you’re anything like me keeping on top of thank you notes can sometimes be challenging. This is especially true when it comes to keeping track of thank you notes for the multitude of gifts given to baby by aunts, uncles, grandmothers, grandfathers and friends. Emmbook for Baby makes it easy for parents to keep track of gifts. Here’s how:

If the person who gave the gift doesn’t have an entry in your baby book yet, create an entry for them. When viewing that person’s entry, tap Add a Gift. Take a photo of baby with the gift and add a description, the date the gift was received and whether or not you’ve sent a thank you note. Now when you view your People list you’ll see a green gift icon if a note has been sent and a red icon if one hasn’t.

The Baby Book’s photo view mode allows you to view your baby’s photos. To enter the view mode tap the ‘View Book’ icon on the tab bar at the bottom of the screen.

Tap on a photo to display a caption with the person’s or event name, your notes and the date of the event or entry. View photos by swiping your finger across the screen, by tapping the next or previous icons or by starting the automated slideshow.
