So ya, I have been busy and let's just say blogging was not on the top of my priority list, but I am finally making it down the list literally to the part of the list where updating my blog is. I can't wait to put a check next to that and keep moving down the list. I also have a new found motivation for blogging. I used to struggle because how can I justify blogging when I am not even keeping a good journal for my family (I used to be so good at journaling, what happened...) So anyways, I have heard that you can turn you blog into a journal and I am going to research that a little more and if so, then I will be all about that. Why not kill two birds with one stone? But I have talked to everyone that says they know of someone who made their blog into a book, but I can't find anyone who actually did it themselves... so if you have, PLEASE let me know because I am really interested in this. Maybe I wouldn't go 2 months in between posts (although I am not making any promises). So I am going to have to go back and catch up because that is just my style, but here are some of my favorites from the past few months just to get started... enjoy!

Welcome Back! Tay is super cute and growing so fast, I cant believe it :)
Kylee tiped me on the 'blog into a book' she might know someone? I however have a link you should check out! its all about the BLURB!
I love your new backdrop! I actaully recently updated mine with the same.
Camille (Arnett) Witter made one herself. Maybe you can email her about it or somehting. She blogged about it a little while back. Her link is on my list on my blog.
And yes, Blurb seems to be the one everyone goes through.
And yeah!!! I love Taye!! She is so darn cute. You guys better make a trip up here soon, it's no that far, no excuses!
Welcome Back!!!
Here's one place that you can do it. lulu.com
Just open an account. Copy and paste you blog into Word. Upload the document into a project and design the cover.
Good luck. Taye is so cute. I love all of her little outfits.
i have made a book on blurb as well. just go to blurb.com . I havent done my whole blog, only like the first six months worth!
Wow, I can't believe I checked and it's actually updated! It was so fun seeing you while we were here. We leave tomorrow. I've sold over $300 worth of flower clips!
yeah for the updated blog!! taye is such a chunk, I love it!! I've got a few more weeks of swimming left in me, so we need to meet up at the parents!!
OH my GOSH. She is gorgeous & getting SO big!!!
the whole "blog to book" idea is honestly why I blog. It is my journal/scrapbook all in one. It reminds me to take pictures & post, knowing that at the end of every year I can just print a book of the year & have a journal!
I used Blurb & converted 07 into a book & it is kind of time consuming...if you are like me. It converts your blog straight over, but then I go in and want to change fonts/colors, delete some unnecessary posts,etc. But SO WORTH it in the end!
Taye is SO CUTE! Great idea to make a book of your blog... I had no idea that was possible. Looks like you had fun at the beach! We need to like see each other some time since we we both have so much free time ya know :) Seriously though...
Alyse! Holy cow, I've found you on the blogosphere! Perfect. How are you doing? Family looks great. Hope all is well!
Hi alyse - heidi smith (from the dorms) made one and I think she really likes hers. I've used mypublisher.com to make photo books and am really happy with them. glad to see you are doing well - what a darling baby girl!
What a cute little bambino! I just want to squeeze her little cheeks! I just discovered all the Larsons out there who have blogs-& I'm so glad I found yours! Love ya-Tia
hey..I thought about doing the book thing as well and also heard of someone.. I think you can get it done at Kinkos, so I think it's time to update again :)
