  • Episode 50: Preserving Precious Moments: The Story Behind 'Letters to Ollie'

    Send us a text

    Ever wished you could freeze time to cherish those precious fleeting moments of your child's early days? That's the exact conundrum that led me, a new parent, to create Letters to Ollie, a customizable journal notebook designed to help caregivers capture and immortalize those heartwarming memories. Inspired by the birth of my son, Oliver, this memory milestone book is more than a journal; it's a treasure trove of prompts and pages for recording every special moment that would otherwise be lost in the haze of new parenthood. 

    Struggling to choose between a hardcover copy or a digital file? You're not alone. I grappled with the same question before realizing the tangible, emotional value that a hardcover version offers. There's something undeniably special about flipping through the pages of a book filled with the moments that made you smile, laugh, and maybe even shed a tear or two. But don't worry, I haven't dismissed the idea of an electronic version. Join me as I share my journey of creating this keepsake, explore the emotional weight of a hardcover book, and discuss the potential for a digital version of Letters to Ollie. This isn't just about creating a journal; it's about preserving the precious essence of a child's early years in a timeless gift.
