You guys. I have been bursting to tell you about this brand new service for months now! I was lucky enough to be chosen as a beta tester, and fell in love immediately, but I was sworn to secrecy. It was insanely hard to not immediately blog, tweet, instagram, Facebook and yell out the front door about BooksTo.Me!
In a nutshell: Each month, your Instagram feed is pulled, laid out in book, printed, and shipped to your house. Bam! Phone photos in a beautiful book for you to enjoy for years to come, and it is effortless!
You don’t have to remember to log into a website, upload your images, lay them out into a book, etc. It’s all done automatically for you! For a forgetful, scatterbrained woman like me, this is perfection!
What if I take a picture I don’t care to remember for all eternity, and therefore don’t want it in my book? Not a problem! Just add a simple little hashtag either to the photo description, or in the comments, and it won’t be added to your book. Whew! I really only need so many printed pictures of the food I’m eating 😉
Do you know what my favorite part of this whole thing has been? My kids are excited about these books too! Now when I pull out my phone to snap a picture, they don’t groan, go running, or throw their hands up in front of their faces. Instead, they say “is this going to be in the next book?!”.
When a new BooksTo.Me book arrives in the mailbox, I have to beat my children off with the box so that I can flip through it first. Ok, I don’t really beat them off with a box, but I have been known to grab it, run to my room (undetected, of course), and open it there. They love these books as much as I do! In fact, I keep the books out where they can easily reach them, and almost daily I find at least one of them flipping through the books and excitedly saying “remember this?” or “Look at this!”.
Clearly I am in love with BooksTo.Me, and I think you will be too!
So the lovely people over at BooksTo.Me have offered up a fabulous giveaway for the Three Times the Giggles readers! You could win a 3 month subscription to the BooksTo.Me service, or win 1 month free – pretty awesome either way!

Disclaimer: While I was provided books as a Beta tester for BooksTo.Me, all of the opinions stated above are my own and are true!
one of my favorites is when my daughter took a huge bite out of her big pink cotton candy, her face was so cute!
This is so cool! The smiles from my little preemie baby girl. She was a tiny itty bitty thing but at only a month old she was smiling. Her sweet little dimple and the biggest, most beautiful smile!
So fun!!
My boys making each other laugh.
I think my favorite moment is my bff’s husband dipping her during their first dance!
So cool!! Something I’ve been wanting to do for a while! Favorite memory…too many to name.
This is such a great idea! I so rarely pull out my actual camera and I don’t have prints made often enough. Favorite camera phone moment….family beach picture last summer.
I really want to try this! What an awesome giveaway! Follow me on Instagram @Syncerema
I am SO excited about Books To ME!!!!! Yay! Thanks for doing a giveaway!
My husband and daughter playing!
I’m in love with this idea!! <3
This is really cool! I love it, can’t wait!
my fav moment is of my hubby and i laughing together
My youngest sons first wave bye-bye. 🙂
So cool! I finally just joined instagram and I love it! I’m so horrible about printing stuff so this is a great idea!
One of my favorite moments I caught with my camera was at a military homecoming. Just the love that was there was amazing. I even teared up it was so special!!!
Favorite moment caught with my camera phone was my nephew on his first plane ride.
There are so many! Really just being able to catch so many “firsts” with my son has been amazing!
This looks really great.
This looks awesome. I can’t wait to give it a try!
I am going to start these books as soon as our first baby is born in May- perfect timing for a wonderful product like this to come out!
Love this! Can’t wait to share with my clients. I’m always looking for simple ways to encourage them to print their photos!
Our daughters first at-home haircut! Fun memories!
My favorite moment I caught on camera was my younger daughter waving bye to her older sister on her first day of school.
This is such an amazing service. I’d be honored to win this!
My one year old daughter photo bombed me asking for food. It looked like she was smiling for the camera
What a great idea. I need more automation in my life!
I love this! Most of my pictures are taken via Instagram, and I made a book out of them last year with Shutterfly. This is MUCH easier!!!
Looks so fun! Great idea!
Great idea! Some of my favorite photos have been with my phone, especially all the ones I captured of my sweet Lydia.
Really cool concept!! I do a photo book each year for Ian and he absolutely loves looking through them, I’m certain he’d be a big fan of this!
This is awesome! What cool books. I would love to win this! 🙂
My favorite thing I’ve photographed on my phone would be my kids relaxing while they don’t notice I’m taking their photo:)
What a great idea and a wonderful giveaway! Great way to save and share memories…..I like to have something I can put my hands on if you know what I mean. Saving pics to a computer is fine but I’d love to have a book.
My favorite phone picture I have captured is of my 3 kids dressed up for church; my son didn’t want to be in the pic so he is frowning & my daughters are smiling looking adorable! It’s hilarious!
Such a great idea! All my favorite pictures always seem to end up on IG but I never seem to do anything with them.
Awesome giveaway!!
My most favorite camera phone pic was of my two boys walking up a hill holding each others hand…. Priceless…. 😉
Some of the first photos when my kids were born were captured on my camera phone 🙂
Gah! This is awesome! Favorite moment? Pictures of my oldest sons first day of kindergarten, but that’s just one of many!
I take a lot of photos of my kids covered in food. For some reason, those always crack me up the most! It would be hard to narrow it down to one of those though!
Oh I would LOVE to win this, I have wanted to do this sooo bad!!!
This is such an awesome idea! Even better that i can skip those awful selfies 🙂
When my baby was first learning to pick up food…she was so cute with a little purple puff stuck to her cheek!
