$60 DVD Transfer Service Giveaway From YesVideo

Do you have old family videos of important events like birthdays, vacations, etc? If so and you are looking to preserve those memories you may want to turn those old tapes into DVD’s. Turning old tapes into DVD’s is simple for YesVideo because they are the pros when it comes to this.

About a year ago I started converting our old Hi-8 tapes into digital form so that I could save them on my computer and makes DVD’s of them for us to watch. I did about 4-5 tapes and the conversion process was so time consuming and so labor intensive. I wish I would have known about YesVideo back then so that I could have had them do the conversion for me and it would have saved me a lot of time and aggravation.

YesVideo not only converts your old tapes but also does film transfer, digital video transfer and image scanning. Now that I converted our tapes to DVD I need to start working on getting our non digital photos converted into digital form.

YesVideo is pretty simple to use because all you have to do is go to yesvideo.com, select how many of what type of media you are looking to have converted, select if you want it transferred right to DVD or online first then you can order DVD’s later, send your media to them for conversion and just sit back and wait for the converted product to be returned to you.

I recently converted my father in law’s youth football championship tape from 15 years ago to a DVD so he could relive those memories forever. The process was fast and the final product was awesome. They set the DVD up so he could watch either the whole DVD or just certain chapters. They even set the football DVD to music so he can watch the original footage or just play in set to music. Pretty cool feature and totally unexpected but that just shows that YesVideo goes the extra mile for their customers.

Another thing I forgot to mention is when your DVD is delivered to you so is your original tape just in case you want to save it for future use.

Overall YesVideo is an awesome service that I will be using in the near future because with three kids we have a ton of pictures on many different media forms that I would love converted to DVD so I know they are safe and secure forever.

If you are ready to get started on your own conversion project YesVideo is offering a 15% off code good for your entire transfer order just use TRANSFER15 at checkout. Please share this code with friends and family so they can get started on a project of their own.

YesVideo was also kind enough to offer one Look What Mom Found…and Dad too reader the chance to win a $60 transfer service coupon that is good for use at YesVideo only. All you have to do is tell me what kind of media you are look to have converted to DVD.

What do you want for your birthday

My birthday is coming up. You might think my wish list is super long but I’m quite a low maintenance kinda girl. The splurge of the century is an upcoming girls weekend at the beach with my best friend. We’ve been talking about it for years and finally made the move and booked it. Before I reveal more details about it, I would suggest you to check this site for some amazing birthday wishes in case you want to wish your grandpa a happy 70th birthday with some lovely messages.

As for other things I want my list is pretty small. I like jewelry. I’ve been eyeing antique skeleton key necklaces on Etsy like the one pictured here. Anything with a little thought put into it means so much.

I know it isn’t very special or sentimental but I love kitchen gadgets and supplies. Pretty mugs, shiny baking sheets and spice blends are a great way to get me to try new recipes and techniques. The other day I got an email that I treated as an early birthday present. The Fairy Hobmother offered me a $100 Amazon GC just for sharing this post with you. You can score a visit from the Fairy Hobmother too.

Comment below and make a wish for something you’d want for your next birthday. The sponsor will be choosing a comment(s) and granting wishes with $100 Amazon GCs. have fun with it!

Don’t Miss a Thing with Roku #Giveaway

Our DVR was set up to record House, at least we thought it was. This past weekend when it was time to settle in to catch up on TV we quickly realized we lost the last 2 episodes. We easily caught up using the Roku and Hulu Plus.

Roku is a streaming media player for home with over 300 channels; something for everyone. Since the Fox network can’t be found anywhere on On-Demand we knew we could find it on Hulu Plus. And since we both want to watch House the television was the only place to watch. The Roku has been set up for a couple weeks already but our limited tv watching time hasn’t given us a chance to utilize it much. This weekend we were able to catch up on favorites and play Angry Birds LIFESIZE!

On Christmas day we like to either play seasonal music watch holiday movies while we unwrap gifts, entertain family and eat. Using the Roku is going to allow us to do this seamlessly with channels like Pandora and Amazon Instant Video and Disney.

Win a Roku ($60 value) in time for your own holiday entertaining or personal enjoyment. Tell me another Roku channel that you might enjoy through the Roku.

OtterBox of Choice #Giveaway

So the iPad has been getting lots more use…not from me though. I’ve started researching more kid’s games and teaching apps so it has become more of a teaching tool for Shaun and Shae. I’m still panicked with them handling it even though we installed an Otterbox case a while ago. It’s been dropped, used as a coaster and been jostled inside bags and totes and we still have not issues. It’s probably time to relax since it has an Otterbox Defender Series case.
Otterbox might make the toughest, most durable protection available for iPads and other devices out there. Otterbox is the top provider for protection against everything for your phones, tablets and ereaders.

OtterBox is located in one of the greatest cities in America – Fort Collins, Colo. Ranked #1 in 2006 and #2 in 2008 on Money Magazine’s “Best Places to Live” list, Fort Collins has easy access to the Rocky Mountains for biking, hiking, running, camping, kayaking, boating, skiing, snowboarding and other activities. Many of us use our cases every day, in the office, outdoors and around town and serve as excellent “guinea pigs” for new product testing.

Otterbox is very involved in the engineering, production, design, testing and retesting of all of their products. Customer feedback is number one when putting out some of the highest rated protection for some of our highest priced gadgets. Their warranty for a full replacement against defect should say it all.
