I know my suggestion isn't something that is ready made, however, I really love it.
I have been doing a private blog on blogger.com, I write daily entries (you could do weekly or monthly) and add pictures. At the end of the year I publish it through blurb.com. I have done this for about 3 years. The kids now have a "diary" that is beautifully published and is something that they can look back at for years to come. It is a lot of work to do something daily, but is totally worth it when I get the book in the mail.

I am one of the only people in my group of friends to send out cards. I think it is important. People get so caught up with emails and texts that they forget how thoughtful a card can be. I have always enjoyed getting cards. It is a nice surprise besides all the bills and junk. I think it is sweet that someone thinks enough of me and my family to take the time to send a card with a personal note or photo. I don't feel the same with e-cards. I don't like having to cut and paste links, log in or make an account, and be flooded with advertisements as I "pick up" my e-card. Please stick to the colorful envelope and pretty little card.

(Same goes with thank you's. Just send a personal note. Facebook thank you's are just lazy.)
