Very important Grandparents

I had a deep and meaningful conversation with my lovely beautician Fil this morning. She was saying how pleased she was that she bought A Book About Me for her niece Giselle when she was born. Giselle's grandfather wrote a beautiful message to her on her birth. He passed away recently just after Giselle's first birthday, and while she won't remember how her grandfather doted on her, she has a special message, just for her, that reflects how much he loved her. This gives a lot of comfort to their family.

Grandparents are very special people, and that's why A Book About Me has so many pages devoted to them. Not many children have the standard four grandparents, there are step grandparents who have been involved in their own parents lives since they were little. While there may not be a genetic link, there are links made of memories and shared experiences. A Book About Me has space for whomever you want to put in there.

Mother of 3

I am loving being a mother to 3.  Zoe is enjoying life on the outside and the girls are thrilled to  be big sisters.  They are very gentle and love giving her kisses.  
 
Milestone Press and our products can be seen in the latest Bambini Directory.  It is very exciting. We have a full page ad.  A Book About Me, My School Days and the NEW The Master Plan look fantastic.  It is the first glimpse of The Master Plan, which is very exciting.  So consider it a sneak preview if you have purchased your Bambini Directory.

The latest is showbiz goss is that Angelina Jolie is pregnant with twins!!    Our books really suit the Jolie-Pitt clan. For the following reasons

1. Angelina adopted Maddox when she was single - we have pages that don't mention father.  You simply email us and we email the pages and you print at home using the spare pages at the back of the book.  This is also suitable for same sex parents.

2. Angelina adopted Zahara.  She would  have been able to use the "adoption pages"

3. Angelina gives birth to Shiloh.  Brad and Angelina would have had fun filling out the book as is, but removing the unwanted pages.

4. Angelina and Brad adopted Pax.  They would have filled the book as is and using the adoption pages, they may have needed extra siblings pages.......

5. Angelina is apparently pregnant to twins, apparently conceived with "assisted conception", and our book also has this page.

So the books really do suit the Jolie-Pitt clan, if only they had time to fill them out.
