Picture Keeper Product Review & Giveaway




As with most bloggers I often get approached by companies to review products. I am very,very picky about those companies who I will actually review and tell the mommas about. Mostly it must be a reputable company with a product that moms can really use. I was delighted when the folks over at picture keeper wanted me to test their product. I am one of those "picture moms" for sure. My family pictures are the most important thing on my computer at any given moment. I appreciated this even more when my old computer got a virus and for one week I thought I had lost my daughter's pictures from age birth to two - y'all know those are some precious years!! 



The picture keeper is essentially a USB drive with built-in software that does all the work for you. It quickly and easily searches for and backs up your photos on your computer (both PC and Mac). You stick it in the computer and within 10 minutes I had 4900 pictures downloaded to keep forever. I love that it keeps them in the same order you had them and that you don't have to do anything. I took the picture keeper and put it in our fire box with all of our important papers. I love having them all in one safe place. I also think this would also make a great gift for a new Mom or Dad. 

Picture Keeper is available for purchase on their website (www.picturekeeper.com) as well as in national retailers, catalogs and scrapbooking supply stores and has recently become available at select Walgreens stores. The sweet folks at picture keeper want to give one away on our blog too! To enter to win :

What we love about it : all very proudly made in the good ol' USA!  The long sleeve tee is top quality knit offered in a beautiful array of colors, offers a wonderful hand (feel) and feels great to wear, very durable, and a great value for mommies.  The fashion pieces, like the knickers, are not only made right here in the USA, but "right here in the South"  either by Rachel or one of her  local seamstresses ! The packaging was adorable . She wraps your outfit in a clear protective bag and includes a few hersey kisses that read “ share the love” ….. Chocolate and beautiful clothes – I’m there  !!

Company Information :Meet Rachel Loomis , Owner and creator of Finds of the Fabulous Kind

 

Rachel 

Rachel says , “Finds of the Fabulous Kind! was born almost by accident.  I happen to be a girly-girl who is the proud momma of six children~ 5 girls & 1 boy.  I love nothing more than to cook for them (it is so much fun for me when I know they are genuinely excited for one of my homecooked meals)!  However,  being a girly-girl dictates that I must look as Fabulous as possible when I'm in the kitchen, right?  Hence my line of flirty and fun aprons, etc.  Also, it just so happens that I LOVE to dress my little girls like "little girls", not like teenagers in smaller size clothing-YUCK!.  So, when you mix that together with the facts that I'm basically  addicted to fabric, love to create and sew, have a bit of an entrepreneurial spirit, what do you get?  Yep! Finds of the Fabulous Kind!, a boutique and trunk show company that features handmade girls boutique clothing, baby items, hostess aprons, accessories, and gifts.

I'm honored to be a girl! I want my girls to feel the same way and grow up as slowly as possible in today's fast world.  I believe by dressing them in fun, cute, and age appropriate clothes that they love to wear as much as I love to dress them in.  I want them to embrace who they are and embrace being a girl and all the power that that holds and opportunity it presents for them.  I want them to feel good about themselves and be free spirited little girls for as long as possible.  One day they will be mommies, too, maybe reminiscing while wearing an adorable apron as they are making their children a home cooked meal or serving them take out (that happens here too!) and thinking just how good it feels to be a girl!

Please join me!  I almost feel like I'm on a mission to preserve the "little girls in us" and who we are on behalf of our daughters.  We have a wonderful legacy of talents, intelligence, values, and strengths to pass on.  Let's do just that!

My hope is that you'll help me spread the word about my mission on the behalf of our girls.  My wish is that you and your little girl, alike, will embrace my line of goodies and feel FABULOUS by doing so!

Then....my dream will come true!”

What we love about it : The quality of Luna B Tee is unmatched . They account for every detail right down to the packaging . When you receive your package it is neatly wrapped in a protective clear bag with an adorable card attached. Luna B Tees is the original in personal tees . Simple and perfect :) The tee itself has a great cut to help insure proper fit . The collar lies flat and there is even a wonderful detail on the back with the brand name . A personal favorite is their great  selection of “cause” shirts including

  • Breast Cancer Awareness
  • Multiple Sclerosis Awareness
  • Pediatric Cancer Awareness
  • Praying for... and More!

The sweet ladies at Luna B Tee sent us an adorable personalized snow globe tee !! We love the colors and font they used :)
