For months I searched for the perfect baby book for Brady before he was born. I wanted something simple, fresh and easy to complete (knowing I would have my hands full with my first baby). I never found anything that felt quite right and ended up purchasing something I wasn’t totally in love with. I’ve redone that thing twice trying to get it right.
So, last year, when I was pregnant with Caroline and Tyler, I knew that if I wanted to be able to document their unique stories, I was going to have to create something totally from scratch. And the EL Baby Book was born.
On April 15 at 10am EST you can purchase yours. Quantities are limited and many of our retailers will be carrying these as well. I designed the Baby Book to be gender neutral with sweet colors in all shades throughout and a beautiful mint green cover. Inside, you’ll find places for photos (we even noted what size photos to use just to make it even easier!), and prompts for you to use to enter sweet details (one of my favorite parts – I love having these to guide me and inspire new thoughts and memories – it makes for a very robust and complete baby book). Each Baby Book is priced at $62.
One of my favorite details about the EL Baby Book is that it’s binder style so you can slip pages you need and / or don’t need in and out. Later this year, I’ll be designing adoption and “journey to baby” (infertility) pages to be sold separately. Stay tuned for those!
