100 Things has become a major part of our family’s life, and a few years ago we found a service called Into Real Pages. You can convert a set of blog posts into an actual book, which sits on your shelf, inviting you to take it down and page through it. What better way to capture all these memories?

This is part of our 100 Things in 2017 challenge. Click on the photos for a closer look!

We have hard copies of our 2014 and 2015 lists, so this year we wanted to do the same with 2016. What we didn’t count on was this notice at the top of the page when we logged in:

In truth, we’ve been trying to make this book since early November, when we discovered a few bugs in their system. Becky tried 5 times, spending a good two frustrating hours each time, to shove our blog through their broken system, to no avail.

So consider this a placeholder post. Doing this is important enough to us that we’re willing to postpone finishing this Thing until it gets done, but we won’t be able to complete it before the year is out. We’ll post an update here when we get the book.
