There’s no denying that baby journals are beautiful but how many new parents have time to record every momentous event in their newborn’s life? There’s a good chance the journal will be languishing on a shelf three years on.
And what if baby laughs for the first time when you’re out and about. Or takes their first steps at Grandma’s house? Or mum or dad are on a business trip and one of them misses out on something important? Or you’re living away from other members of your family or your best friends? Do you carry a book around so you can remember it later? Do you jot a reminder in your phone to update the book later?
Enter mementobox, a new virtual baby journal.
Most people have their iPhone with them all the time, so mementobox ensures you won’t miss a single important moment.
Create a keepsake of your baby’s birth and first year that you can easily share with friends and family.
The app is divided into three sections:
- My arrival. Store your pregnancy photos and scan pictures. Tell your birth story. Take pictures of your little one’s visitors and allow them to leave messages. Keep a record of gifts received and thank you notes sent.
- My first year. First smile, first word, first night out for Mum. Record your child’s major milestones, plus those small, but significant, occasions. Keep track of immunisations development and minor illnesses.
- My world. What was number one when baby was born? Who was making the headlines? What was everyone reading? Build a unique time capsule by linking to external media such as newspapers and film trailers.
Upload photographs and videos depicting key events. The suggestions are just a guide. You can add your own categories too. You can keep your memories private within the mementobox app or share them using social media or email.
mementobox currently covers your child’s first year but future upgrades will enable you to capture memories through childhood and beyond. You can find it here at the App store.
