Memior of Me is a company that creates personalized children's books that will include your child's name, a character resembling them and a letter you submit written to your child that will appear at the end of the story.
The illustrations that appear in the book are very colorful and entertaining to the reader.
The story follows a little girl (or boy) who gets into some bubble gum and trouble while his/her mother is trying to get a letter written. It follows the character as she goes from the house, to the yard and eventually covers the neighbor's cat with gum all before helping her mom (you) put the finishing touches on her letter. The letter you submit on the website is the letter that the character puts the finishing touches on which appears at the end of the story.
Anyone can create a personalized book for a child. This is not limited to the parent/child relationship only, if you are a grandparent, aunt/uncle, godparent or friend of a child you too can create a book.
Now, I do want to take a second and be clear about what you get because I was confused when writing my letter. The website states that your letter will be "weaved" into the story so I wrote a letter describing silly things my daughter has done because I thought I was suppose to be giving them material for a personalized story. That is not the case. The story is a very cute story about a little girl (boy) who gets into some bubble gum, kinda like the No David series, but it does not include events from your letter: only your child's name, a character resembling them and your personalized letter at the end.
Now do you want one of your own? Looking for a great Valentine's Day gift for a child? The great people at Memoir of Me would like to give away ONE personalized book to a lucky reader of Midwest Mommy! All you have to do is leave me a comment below. Any comment, if you can't think of what to comment about tell me who you would give the story to. This giveaway will run for about a week and I will select a random winner after. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email or I will choose another winner.
Ready, set, GO!

This is an awesome giveaway! However, if I do win, I'll have to purchase two more because I can't pick favorites :) Small price to pay for such an awesome product!
My youngest child would LOVE this! She is 8 and all about books. As a teacher I have a rule... I NEVER say no about buying a book my kids ask for!great give away!

how cool!! That would be an awesome 2nd birthday gift for Charley :) Pick me please :)
The boys I nanny for would love it.... I would like to make one when I adopt as well... I am hoping to adopt an older sibling group out of foster care in the next few years...
I would love to personalize a book for my 3 year old daughter. She would love seeing her name in the book! Thanks!
HA! Random! This won't be random because only ONE OF US found a hilarious photo of a certain mommy at BlogHer09 on her computer this week.
HAHA! Blackmail!
I'm just kidding, it's a very nice photo of a very nice mommy. But my son, who is fighting me on learning to read... every.... step.... of... the way... would love a book all about him.
Jhooper, your rule would drive me into the poor house. But I am very benevolent and let them bring home ANY book they pick out...at the local library. Outside of the "adult themes" section. On Tuesdays. If I'm in a good mood. And they don't bite anyone.
OMG I'm kidding, my kids have never bitten anybody, ever. Stop looking at me like that.
Much love from Washington! :)
What a great memory to make for your child, my 5 year old daughter would love this as she has just learned to read! Thanks so much for the opportunity to enter this contest!

Looks like an adorable personalized book. I'm sure either of my kids would love to see their name in print.
I would love to personalize this for my daughter. She would love to see her name in a book!
This is so cool! The hard decision would be which of my kids to give it to. I might just have to buy another one if I win. I would love to win! Thanks!
Both my kids love books.. Which means I would have to get a second one if I won LOL.... but what a wonderful idea for little kids to see their name in a book
Since Maggie's new favorite thing to sleep with is a book I think this would be great!!!

Those are so cool. My boys would love one of those, I might have to look into getting one for each of them.

I'd love to win a book! A totally great giveaway (I think I love new stories more than the kids do!)
New reader... I'd love this! My son loves books. :)

I have some amazing nephews and nieces I would love to give this too. Especially considering I am a terrible aunt and didn't get them anything for Christmas. Bad, I know.
