Technology these days has made making memories so much easier– almost all of us has a camera at our fingertips all day long!  Whether you are using your phone to snap the millionth picture of your smiley drooling baby, or immortalize your Girls Night Out or killer vacation– we all have multiple gigabytes full of pictures that make our life what it is.  But what about keeping those memories? What about having them printed in an album that we can touch and feel? That we can save?!  Marlowe was over a year old before I realized that I had nothing concrete to show her from her childhood! Let alone any other memories I had been making since my Smartphone took over my life.  Chatbooks to the rescue!!  OH, AND PS: I’M GIVING EVERYONE AND THEIR MAMA A CODE FOR A FREE BOOK!

Chatbooks is a genius company.  In fact, when I told my Mother about the company and the code I’m giving away today, her exact words were: “I want to make one! That’s genius!”.  Basically, Chatbooks enables us to take the memories we have curated on Instagram (hello, isn’t this where every Mom’s best snaps of her kids go?), or even in our Camera Rolls on our phones– and turn them in to Albums– all with a few simple clicks of an App!  You can even name your album, include the captions and dates from when you posted your pictures, and order multiple copies for family members or friends right from your Smartphone. Then it’s shipped out to you within the week.  They arrive all wrapped up tight in a cardboard box, and they really are so cute.  Perfectly sized to stack on a coffee table or shelf– and judging from Marlowe’s interest in them, perfectly sized for tiny hands to explore as well.

And these books are affordable! They all start at just Eight Dollars.  Eight Dollars for memories you’ll have your whole life! I think this is where the genius part comes in.  But guess what? I’m partnering with Chatbooks (did I mention I love them? The husband-wife team behind this company is beyond adorable) to give you A CODE FOR A FREE CHATBOOK!! Anyone can use it, so tell your friends and fam! Squeeze as much love out of this code as possible– and see for yourself why I have a house full of Chatbooks.  (You think this is a figure of speech…but my house is literally filled with Chatbooks…)

Free Chatbooks Code: HAPPILYEVA

So this is what you do:  Download the Chatbooks App, Make a book, put in your code, and enjoy your memories! It’s that easy.  Oh, and then please share your Chatbook with me on Instagram so I can get googly-eyed over you memories.  That would be great too…

Ideas For Your First Chatbook

• Baby’s First Year! (Print multiple copies to give the Grandparents!)
• Memories For Each Child (Compile Chatbooks for each child with memories of him/her specifically.  Put their Name on the side, and organize by Season or year!  None of us wants our kids fighting over photo albums when we’re old and grey…and too tired to break up the fights)
• Mother’s Day Gift (Whether for Mama or Grandma, you can fill a book with sweet pictures and captions to have at her work desk or by the bed)
• Girly Memories! (Did you just come back from an incredible Girls’ Getaway, Bachelorette, or even major Birthday Party? Create a Chatbook to remember it forever!)
• Style Lookbook (Do you have your own business that is design related? Compile your pictures by year or by project for an easy and chic lookbook that clients can flip through)
• Art! (Do you have a hobby drawing, painting, or creating? Compile your favorites in a Chatbook!)
• Propose! (Make a Chatbook of your favorite memories with your Honey…and then ask a very important question on the last page… !!!)
• Candid Wedding Memories! (Ok, we all have our “perfect” wedding photos, but try searching the hashtag of your wedding on Instagram and make an album of everyone’s  candids from the night– including Uncle Larry doing tequila shots with the bridesmaids…)
• Gift It! (A sweet little album can be the nicest gift for a close friend or family member.  Fill it with memories without breaking the bank! )

**UPDATE: Because of our technical difficulties this morning, Chatbooks is now sweetening your deal! You can get $15 of Chatbooks free using this code when you create a “series”! Happy album making!  Code: HAPPILYEVA **
