Why Qeepsake is the New Baby Book Ever Modern Mom Needs

I had high hopes when I was pregnant for the type of mom I would be. I wanted to have the perfect bedtime routine, nutritious, homemade baby food for every meal and all the cute accessories for myself and the little one. Then I realized how different life is once the baby is no longer inside of you, but in your arms.

One of my main struggles has been finding the time to document all of the special moments and milestones that are so important to me. That is where Qeepsake comes in. A subscription was gifted to me in exchange for my honest review.

Why Qeepsake is the New Baby Book Ever Modern Mom Needs

Before I had my son, I had huge plans for all the things I would do with him. All of the memories we’d make together, the photos I’d take, the baby books I would write diligently in every single day. Then he was born and everything changed. One of the things no one told me about having a newborn is that they take way more of our time than you’d ever imagined! 

You guys, I literally have three baby books sitting mostly blank on a shelf with some notes on a piece of scratch paper. That’s my son’s baby book. Glamorous, isn’t it?  Well, that all changed once I was introduced to Qeepsake. As soon as I saw them I thought “Yes!” This is exactly what every busy parent needs!

Qeepsake Review

Qeepsake is the best of both worlds. It starts out as an electronic baby book on your phone or computer.  You can use either the app or the website online.  Once you have saved all the memories and photos, you can create a book that can be printed at any time.

It essentially starts off as a text message baby book. If you are like me, chances are you are sending texts and updates to grandparents, friends and various relatives on a daily basis. Why not send those texts to Qeepsake? The best part is, they reach out to you with question prompts so you don’t have to add another reminder to your never-ending to-do list.

How Qeepsake Works

Qeepsake (pronounces like keepsake. The Q Stands for questions) will prompt you with 2 to 4 text messages a day about your little one. As a Qeeksake member, you get to choose how many questions you receive and the time of day. Mine is sent around 6:30 pm. That is when I am usually nursing my son before bed. It is the perfect opportunity for me to reflect back on our day together, tell him funny stories about what we did, and send those memories off to Qeepsake. 

Each question is based on your child’s age and is gender-neutral. We have had questions such as “How did you choose William’s name?” And “What is something new William is able to do?” You can also text in your own comments like “William rolled over today. Mom caught it on camera and couldn’t wait to show daddy when he got home!” Then attach the corresponding photo.

You can also skip questions. We occasionally get a question that I don’t feel needs to be included in his book or that I just don’t have a good answer to, so I just skip it. If I change my mind, I can go back in and answer it at a later time. Being a premium member, I also have the option to add my husband to the account so he can text in his photos and responses as well. You can’t go wrong with either the Qeepsake Plus or Qeepsake Premium yearly membership.

Every once in a while I go onto the website and look at previous entries. I can check for things like spelling errors, add in any days that I missed or delete entries if I do so desire. I can also edit our account by changing the time I receive questions or how many texts I get a day.  The website has a super user-friendly interface and the same can be said for the Qeepsake app.
