The Short Years Reviews: 13 Baby Book and App Customer Reviews
“I desperately wanted to make a baby keepsake book, but it seemed like so much work and I just never had extra time. I found The Short Years Baby Book App and it made making my baby memory book so fun and easy that I had no excuse not to do it. I’d answer questions in the evenings in front of the TV or when I was rocking my little one to sleep. Now I have her story all in one place. It’s something I truly cherish. Worth every penny!”

4 Short Years Baby Book Review Videos from Real Moms
“I’d always felt guilty that I didn’t finish the traditional baby book I started for my firstborn. But when I found The Short Years Baby Book + App for my second child, I knew it was something I could do easily while nursing, pumping when back at work, or during those middle of the night wake ups! Now I recommend it to everyone…so thankful for such a beautiful, easy way to remember my baby’s first year!”
— Viviana Cerda
“This book is the greatest! I wanted (so badly) to be a “scrapbook mom.” Now that I’ve found The Short Years, I’m totally caught up on the first years of both my daughters. I didn’t even start the books until one was almost 3 and one was almost 1! I’m all caught up and it was so easy...I have referred two friends already!”
— Addie Bramlett
“At first the price of The Short Years Baby Book seemed high, but now that I have the book itself and the first six months of my baby’s pages I am so happy I spent the money. It is simply beautiful. It is high quality and I am confident it will last forever so I can always look back at this precious time in my life.”
— Mariel Lemon
“Convenient, beautiful, and easy! This is a genius idea to capture the important details of your baby’s first year and beyond. The paper and photo quality is excellent and you end up with a true keepsake. They came out with The Toddler Years at just the right time for me and I have just finished the 12-18 month section...it’s perfect!”
— Stephanie Cox
“I firmly believe that, had I bought a regular baby book, I would have NEVER picked it up and written in it. With The Short Years app, I can pick my phone up anywhere, anytime, and answer a few easy questions. You just order the pages (at no extra cost) as you go! The book is beautiful and the pages are simple and elegant.”
— Karyn Helton
“I love The Short Years Baby Book because it is a beautiful and thoughtfully organized book, but all I had to do was answer questions! My creativity muscles are weak right now with newborn twins, but the App made it easy. Our boys’ baby keepsake books feel like professionally curated books, with my personal touch!”
— Sarah H.
“I can fill out my daughter’s baby book from the drive thru, bathtub, early morning feeds, etc. It has been wonderful and I no longer feel guilty about not having something for her to look at when she’s older. I have recommended this app to my other soon-to-be-mommy friends and will continue to do so.”

“The Only One of its Kind”
★★★★★
“The Short Years is really the only one of its kind. It’s like a continuous working project, which I really appreciate because who with a newborn baby has time to sit down and do the whole thing at once? I love how I can work on it piece by piece when I have a few extra minutes while the baby is feeding/sleeping. Or when a milestone happens, I can go straight to the app and record what happened while it’s fresh in my mind. But the best part is being able to add pictures from your phone right to the book. I really feel like this is the only way I’d remember everything that happened in my daughter’s first year.”

“The App Is a Breeze to Use”
★★★★★
“Momma, get this app. Download it now. You will not regret it. Instead of browsing on social media during feedings, answer these simple questions and upload your photos. My. baby is one next week and I have a nearly complete baby keepsake book! Guess what? My nine year old STILL doesn’t have one. This book is the greatest investment and the app is a breeze to use. If you have any special requests, customer service will help you in every way possible. The Short Years staff and creators are rockstars of baby books.”

“The Short Years Made it So Simple”
★★★★★
“As the youngest child of four, I grew up with scraps of memories here and there, half completed baby books and milestone records, and barely an entire photo album devoted to my baby book. Now, as a mom of one, I realized how special and important it was to me to provide a beautiful keepsake for my son and his family one day. Short Years made it so simple, with a simple notification reminder to jump back in and answer this week’s questions, kept all of the answers top of mind and easy to complete after my son’s bedtime. We proudly displayed his (almost) completed baby book at this one-year-old birthday and drew several compliments and envious oohs and ahhs from family and friends. I couldn’t recommend this more to anyone. I cherish this beautiful keepsake today and forever.”

“On My Second Daughter’s Book”
★★★★★
“I started with a traditional, written baby keepsake book for my first child and realized it was so tedious and by the time I got around to it, I couldn’t distinguish one month from the other anyway! This app/book is wonderful because it is so accessible and easy to use. Just log into your app periodically and jot down what your baby has been up to! I have completed my first daughter's book and it turned out wonderfully. I am now on my second daughter’s book! Thank you for making this so easy.”
