A media mama summer

In between explorations to local wading pools, mountains, and beaches, we’ve been checking out some options documenting these adventures. After hunting around online for a good place to make custom board books, we found My Custom Story, which allows you to directly upload your photos and text. We’ll be testing it this month and let you know what we find out.

For the online stories, we recently met with the folks over at Sampa. Their site allows you to make your own family or baby website. So far it’s very user friendly and makes it extremely easy to keep it private without requiring friends or family to remember passwords. It’s also great for photos, but they haven’t implemented direct video uploads yet although they say that’s the next step. Definitely easier than wordpress or blogger for a baby site, and we’ll figure out the pros and cons of sampa vs. totspot in the next few months and post samples of each.
