“I desperately wanted to make a baby book, but it seemed like so much work and I just never had extra time. I found The Short Years, which made it so fun and easy, I had no excuse not to do it. I’d answer questions while watching TV or rocking my baby to sleep. Now I have her story all in one place. It’s something I truly cherish. Worth every penny!”
— Laura Womack

“I love The Short Years Baby Book because it is a beautiful and thoughtfully organized book, but all I had to do was answer questions! My creativity muscles are weak right now with newborn twins, but the App made it easy. Our boys’ baby books feel like professionally curated books, with my personal touch!”
