I have kept a blog at Livejournal since 2001, when I was pregnant with my son. Although some posts are public, most are friends-only, and some are private. My children’s entire childhoods are in there, along with all the major and minor family occasions and all the family dramas, parenting woes, etc. It’s my life from just before I became a parent to now.

I also have a huge collection of memorabilia for the same time period. Once I stopped scrapbooking and starting blogging, I had nowhere to put the memorabilia. So I have letters, cards, tickets, photos, school reports, certificates, etc.

The plan is to convert the blogs into printed books and add the memorabilia after printing to make it a more tactile/interactive keepsake. The photos will be printed into the book, as most of these are digital anyway.
