When I launched my blog, I envisioned it as a digital scrapbook for my children. As a mom, I’m not one to write down milestones like first words or steps, and my memory fails me when it comes to recalling special moments. Although I enjoy crafting, I’ve never embraced scrapbooking. Thus, a blog felt like an engaging way to document our lives—capturing the highs, lows, and everything in between.
As 2008 came to an end, I dedicated myself to converting my blog into a book. The process was quite challenging, primarily because the platform I chose—blurb.com—wasn’t compatible with my blogging site at the time. I found myself manually importing each photo and post, which took an eternity. However, for about $50, I ended up with a hardcover edition of my blog. I personally designed every page, mixing text and images as I pleased. The customization options were extensive, allowing me to utilize any fonts on my computer.
While I can’t offer a perfect review—customer service was non-existent, my first book had a defective binding, and the system often crashed—it was ultimately worthwhile. I cherish my book and it has reignited my motivation to keep writing in the new year.
