When Gabrielle and Alaina turned two, I decided that I would have our blog made into a book for them through Blog2Print, a website that transfers blogs on Blogger, Wordpress and Typepad into books.
It's such a simple process - enter in your URL, choose a cover design and whether you want a hard cover or soft cover and you're on your way. You can include every post and picture or pick and choose (you can re-order them, too) and I love that you can also include the comments people left in your book as well. I laid out more than 100 posts in no time.
But remember when I mentioned being able to incorporate all of the things I'd posted on Facebook instead of the blog? That's where Everything2Print comes in. On this site, you can access your Facebook photos, status updates, notes and more, and choose to include any of that information in your book. In addition, you can add Twitter updates, pictures from Picasa, Word documents and PDFs. When they named the site Everything2Print, they weren't kidding! So all of those little things I posted on Facebook - funny moments, silly comments, etc. - are a part of our book now, too.
I am so excited to get my bound version of And Babies Make Four.... and I'll post pictures here once it arrives. Just putting it together and reading all of the blog posts and messages we received made me extremely emotional. Thanks to Everything2Print, someday we'll be able to sit down with Gabrielle and Alaina and read them the story of their miraculous road from 2 pound preemies to healthy, happy little girls without missing a step along the way. Now I've learned my lesson and vow to get back to posting all about the girls on our blog. But just in case I don't and slip back to my Facebook ways, I'm glad to know that those memories won't be lost.
