Lots of Space for Pictures and Personalized Information

Look who's got the whole sibling thing figured out! Renee Raab Whitcombe has created the only personalized book for the child who has just found out that his/her family is expanding. Look who's going to be a Big Brother/Big Sister is a beautifully designed keepsake with lots of space to add pictures and personalized information. I just wish this book had come out earlier, in time for my kids!

Budding Family Albums Make Sense of your Kid's World

Its that time of year. The flowers are in bloom and realtor signs are popping up on lawns from coast to coast. Here in my neighborhood the signs vy for attention with a new spate of giant wooden storks announcing new arrivals. It's all exciting - these new beginnings. But for a young child, these changes can be incredibly stressful.

That's why Budding Family founder Renee Raab Whitcombe, came up with her personalized "Look Who's..." albums. Designed from a 4-7yo child's perspective, the albums are really personalized books that address children's fears and questions about a move, or the arrival of a new sibling. The books chase away anxiety and help turn these world-rocking events into a positive, memorable experiences. Your child will have no problem relating to the main character in their book - since it is them! They are bound to be read over and over again. And they will be cherished as a timecapsule of your child's life for years to come.

I love this concept so much that I only wish that Renee would come up with some albums for other tricky kid situations. Like "Look Who's Using the Potty!" and "Look Who's Going to School!". OK, maybe not the potty one. But you have to admit it would make for some excellent blackmail material a few years down the road.
