I have to laugh at those diaper commercials on tv that show what a mom’s life is like with the first child versus what life is like when child #2 or #3 comes along. Because it’s like they’ve taken a page right out of my life.
When that first baby arrives, you do everything by the books. When child #2 or 3 arrives, you’re lucky if you can even find those books or those books are now being used as a make-shift booster seat for child #1.
When we had Abbi, our first born, I documented her first year with pictures of every stage, a baby book outlining her first and second year, cute little molds of her infant handprint and footprint. Then Zoe came along and I was estatic that I got most of her key stages caught on film and eventually put together a baby book. Then my sweet Talon came. Our third and last. And I realized the other day that he is 2.5 years old and I have not done any of that “baby memory” stuff!
Ugh!
Thankfully, the fabulous people at Stone Prints are helping me redeem my Mom Fail!
Stone Prints captures memories by hand-carving your baby’s or child’s handprint or footprint into natural river rocks.
Getting started with your customized Stone Print is super easy! They send you the kit to capture your little one’s print and you send it back to them. They go to work with all their crazy talent and, Voila!, in a few weeks you’ll receive a one of a kind natural river rock with your little one’s print and name on it.
If you’re doing a print of a child who is a little older and can write their own name, you can even have their name carved in their own handwriting! Which just adds to the cuteness!
I know, I know…you’re totally wishing you had heard about these amazing Stone Prints when your child was just a baby so could have captured their “first handprint/footprint”. Well, stop wishing! You totally can! Simply make a photocopy of the handprint or footprint you captured while at the hospital and send it in with your kit! That’s what I did and now I have this fabulous rock with Talon’s first footprint! Mom Win!
There are so many reasons I love Stone Prints. They are beautiful and classic and I’m already looking forward to creating Stone Prints for both of my daughters. Maybe even the dog! (Yes, you can even get your pet’s paw print hand carved into a river rock!)
What an amazing gift for yourself, grandparents or those expectant parents in your life!
