Do you need a baby book or know someone who does?Thy Olive Tree is back in business and I'm offering 9.5% off "My Catholic Keepsake" baby memory books through Wednesday 1/15. This is in honor of my beautiful daughter, Melanie, we welcomed a few days before Christmas, weighing in just an oz shy of 9.5 lbs!
From baby's first step and first time going to Mass, all the way to Confirmation and Senior Year, these modern record books help you document all the important moments! I've already been able to fill so many pages in Melanie's baby book and can't wait to share the photos with you all soon.
I've had such a blessed past few weeks snuggling with my girls, slowing down, celebrating Christmas, bringing in the New Year, spending quality time with family, and getting this new lil gal baptized!
I'm easing back into things slowly, but am ready to start taking orders again. Thank you for your patience!
