gift ideas for the expecting mom who loves documenting everything

Documenting your child’s first year is something that is enjoyable for many first time parents.

Easy Ways to Display Family Photos

I love to have photos of the various events throughout my life, and I’ve always been big on keeping scrapbooks and photo albums (and, of course, it’s only gotten worse now that I’m a mom).
