Baby’s first smile… First blow of a kiss… Favorite toys, songs and foods… every new parents fears forgetting these endearing details. MyOwnLittleStory.com, the only online baby book with email reminders specific to the baby's stages and current milestones, was created to help parents remember and record the details of their child's life while the memories are still fresh. The company’s exclusive Milestone Memory System is a free service that tracks the child’s age and reminds the parent, via email, to record the special stories of their baby’s life.
MyOwnLittleStory.com was created by Kristin Coons, mother of three young boys. After her third son was born in 2006, she came up with the idea for MyOwnLittleStory.com from her own desire to write down the details of her kids’ lives while they were still little and it was still fresh in her mind. Kristin spent a couple of years fine-tuning her vision and three years working with a programmer to create the site. MyOwnLittleStory.com launched in 2011. The site currently has about 10,000 users and is growing daily. Kristin is also the author of a blog: TheInspiredMom.com, which features the stories of other moms who are following their dreams as well as inspiration from what she has learned on her journey of following her own dreams.
