Growing up I can remember Christmas time every year me and my 2 sisters looked forward to getting to pick out one item from Hallmark. Hallmark had such beautiful treasures and was like a whimsical fairyland for me and my sisters. We rarely got to go anywhere that had a lot of glass items that kids could easily destroy so this was a big treat! I always picked an ornament, my middle sister a snow globe and my youngest sister was a themes person and always picked something with horses. Now me and my children share our Hallmark traditions! We only buy cards from Hallmark as they are by far the best an have the biggest selection and at Christmas we always let each of the kids pick out a special ornament. With the new baby on the way I was delighted to be able to bring the magic of Hallmark products into her life. I am sure she isn't going to be old enough to remember them but Hallmark makes keepsakes you save and keep a lifetime, when we look back on her life her baby book will be Hallmark.


The first item we tried was the Noah's Ark Three Ring Baby Book! I am in love with this baby book it has so many unique pages and follows each month of your babies growth! This memory book makes it fun and easy to keep track of baby's activities and milestones. New parents will love filling out the book's 70 themed pages with all the facts, tidbits and fun stories about the little one who they'll always want to remember. We also received the Baby's First Year's Milestone Frame it is the perfect decorative piece and is a beautiful keepsake reminder of baby's special moments. This adorable print is just waiting to be filled out with all the sweet details surrounding baby's first-year milestones. It'll look darling in the nursery hanging from its included satin ribbon.

Now on to the toys baby gets to try; first we have the Recordable Plush Photo Block. This is one of my favorites we placed pictures of Christian, Gavin, Mommy and Daddy in her cube so she always has familiar faces. I love though that the ideas are limitless for pictures you could do ABC'S and use the cube to start teaching letters or numbers. It's really unlimited the images your baby's cube could hold and as she plays she would become familiar with those images. The record option makes it easy to tell baby what the pictures she is seeing are and keeps her stimulated by your voice.

I saved the best for last! Some of you are probably most familiar with Hallmark's recordable storybooks I know I was. As a busy mom we have purchased many of Hallmark's recordable storybook for the boys for when mommy is away.  We reviewed one for baby and one for the boys and the boys absolutely loved theirs. I actually packed the baby's book in my hospital bag so this will be the first book she hears!
