Since I live in Hawaii, I was able to go check out the New Baby & Kids Expo this year. It was my first baby-related convention and it was a good time. There were about 500 booths and a lot of potential advertisers and partners for the MyBabyOurBaby.com community. I have to say it was definitely worth the hour we spent in traffic trying to get there.

We’re getting closer to launch folks!

The closer we get, the more we want to make sure we have the best possible features available. Apart from spending sleepless nights working on the site, that also means finding the right partners to work with to bring you some extra fun stuff. Here’s what we’re looking for:

• Book Printing - someone that can take an import of photos and stories and create a professionally printed book (we have some options, but we’re not 100% sold any of them just yet)
• Video Hosting - a service will allow our users to easily upload their own videos in any format from our posting tool, then embed the videos on their online book (in a player like YouTube) .
• Photo Products - we’d also like to let our users print their baby memories on anything: t-shirts, coffee mugs, postcards, etc. There are a lot of options out there for this one, so if you have any preferences, let us know.

If you happen to run a company fitting one of these descriptions, or know of some great companies that handle any of our needs, please let us know in the comments or via email.

We’re still sweeping up the mess and clearing the dust from moving in, but stay tuned for updates on the development progress of the baby scrapbooking website that everyone is going to be talking about.
