Busy Parent Friendly

A parent’s to do list is endless and only seems to grow. Between feeding, changing, and laundry, there’s often no time to scrapbook or make a traditional baby book. Qeepsake reminds me that it just takes a second to text back a family memory — it’s great if I have more time in the day to reminisce, but there’s no guilt with just responding with a couple quick notes.

One of my favorite things about Qeepsake is the text message prompts. It’s effortless for me to talk about my kids — texting about them is no different. You can set prompts to arrive whenever suits your schedule. My phone buzzes every night around 8pm, after my little ones are tucked in and I’ve crashed onto the couch.

Last night I got, “If you could freeze time with Indie, which moment would you stop on?” I spent a moment reflecting on it, typed in my answer, and chose my favorite recent photo to send along with it. Bam, another journal entry and page of my book complete. With plenty of time left to do the dishes and watch The Office.

The questions are customized to your child’s age, so they’re always relevant whatever phase my littles may be in. Qeepsake has thousands of diverse questions, and is constantly adding more. Plus, you can reply “skip” to any question you don’t love, and send in a photo and story you’d like to save instead.

The Qeepsake app does it all.

The Qeepsake app is filled to the brim with thoughtful features for the whole family. Some of my favorite features include the following:

  • Multi-Photo Upload: The Qeepsake app is basically my backup phone. I save all my important photos and videos easily, safely, and securely.
  • Chapters:  I love being able to track my little’s milestones and accomplishments. Chapters is the perfect baby, toddler, school, or life milestone tracker, all easily organized so busy parents don’t have to do too much thinking.
  • Answering previous questions: If I didn’t get a chance to answer a prompt earlier in the week, I can submit an answer to any missed questions in the app.
  • Editing previous answers: I’m always in a rush, but I feel good knowing I can edit my Qeepsake entries if I catch a typo — there’s always one!

Qeepsake keeps us connected.

A bonus about Qeepsake is a Premium membership for you is basically a membership for all. Adding Family Contributors is my favorite way to capture my family’s journey from every perspective.

I’ve added my partner, who gets prompts sent to their phone as well. Sometimes they’re the same as mine, but we always answer differently. My journal fills up twice as fast, meaning there’s more to save and look back on. We spend several minutes each evening reminiscing and often chuckling over the questions of the night and our responses.

I’ve also added grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends as recap recipients, and they regularly receive an email with my Qeepsake photos and memories. This means I’m automatically keeping everyone in my circle connected and up to date. No work on my end. And with Qeepsake’s A+ security, I know that I’m sharing photos privately and securely.

Get Started

Qeepsake Books tell your family’s story beautifully.

The Qeepsake Book. It’s simple, it’s excellent quality, it’s meaningful. Not only do my kids love looking back at photos of their memories, but they also get to see what the people who love them most in the world said about them as they grew up. So much better than just a photo album or picture book.

Plus, it’s ridiculously easy. With every text or entry, my Qeepsake Book is formatted automatically for me. When I want to order a book for myself or as a gift, all I have to do is choose a date range, and before I know it, a family treasure arrives on my doorstep. If there’s something off about it, Qeepsake’s support team and Book Return Policy makes it easy to fix.

Qeepsake Books are also no-brainer gifts. Gone are the days when I had to agonize over what to get my mother-in-law for Mother’s Day or the holidays. I get her the most thoughtful gift of all — beautiful memory books overflowing with the joy and affection of our family’s moments. I love gifting my own parents books all about their grandchildren and my own parenting journey. It brings endless joy all around.
