Before my daughter was born, I decided I wanted to make a special baby book for her. Traditional baby books bore me and I lack the artistic ability to "scrapbook." Therefore I combined my computer skills with my unique sense of humor and created something completely different. Anyway, friends and family encouraged me to try to create and then sell personalized books. I didn't know if there is a market for such a thing. And I didn't know if people would even pay for something so personal. I would appreciate any input on the subject.
I wanted to thank everyone for all of the great input you gave me. I am definitely inspired to take the take step. I am going to try and post my ideas on a web site over the weekend and see where it goes from there. But please contact me if you think you might be interested in a book of your own and I can try and provide you with more details. By the way, this may come as a shocker, while many of you have incorrectly assumed I am a mom, it turns out that I am actually a proud stay at home dad.
I realized that writing these things down were near to impossible in my sons baby book. I was either to tired, or was rushing to do something or would completely forget to write it down lol.
I don't see how some mothers actually make them myself. I have entries in my sons with a round about date on things lol. I don't really remember the date he took his 1st steps but I can remember the 1st time he peed on someone lol.
I think that writing down milestones are great but really most of the times you can't remember unless you have the book right there when it happens. I Think your idea is great. Because like I said most mothers can't remember when these things happen. They remember what it was but not the date. But the funny things stay in our memories because they were funny.
I think that it would have a good market myself. Considering that most times you are so busy with your child you don't have the time to write down everything that you want to. It would also be nice if you included some extra sheets that they can write on.
It annoys me completely when you have a little box to write in and you want to write more and you have no place to put it. The baby book I have for my son is the presious moments one and on things like 1st birthday it has a box there with 5 lines to write down everything that happened and who came over and what presents were given out.
Anyway I think that your idea is great. I think all mothers do something to personalize there baby books in there own way. I tend to draw things on the edges because you can't really do much to them unless you make your own but most parents have no time to sit down and make their own or they just don't know how or where to start.
I think it is a good idea and good luck to you.
