*This post is made possible by Shutterfly. I received a promotional item in order to facilitate this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. This post may contain affiliate links.* One of my favorite things to give as a gift over the holidays is a photobook of memories throughout the year. When Alexander was born, giving Great Grandma a photobook for Christmas started and we have carried on the tradition since.
I love the idea on a photobook because it is easier to share with others and memories and photographs are protected. Great Grandma enjoys them because she can bring it along to church and show her friends. She calls these her brag books.
Shutterfly Photo Books: The Best Gift Ever allow you to give a unique, creative and thoughtful gift and we want to help you give the gift of a 8×8 hardcover photo book (20 pages) this holiday.
You can enter for your chance to win one of two 8×8 photobooks from Shutterfly using the form below.

It’s no surprise to anyone that Alex enjoys playing video games. Gaming is what he does to relax, spend time with the kids and sometimes to just blow off some steam.
When I first met Alex he was more of a PC gamer and spent a lot of his free time playing different games. Now that our family has grown and we’ve acquired multiple gaming systems, we all enjoy getting our game on from time to time.
With the recent release of Assassin’s Creed III, I have some boys who are really craving their XBOX 360 controllers! I love that gaming allows Alex, Zack and even the almost 5 year-old Alexander to bond. It is super cute to see the 3 of them snuggled in on the couch, controllers in hand and bonding.
Since the game was released I have heard multiple times how much they need to get their hands on Assassin’s Creed III and I am excited that they will finally have the opportunity to do just that!
I have a feeling I am going to have some happy boys who will be gaming over the winter break from school and I am looking forward to them making some memories together!

As the holidays get closer I have been busy shopping, wrapping, cleaning and organizing. I am on a mission to remove the unnecessary clutter from our house. A lot of this clutter is made up of old toys, old clothing and even old home movies (not to mention my awesome collection of 80’s movies on VHS).
While cleaning out my desk I stumbled across at least 10 camcorder tapes of the kids from Christmas’ past. I would love to convert my 8mm film to dvd so that the kids have all of these memories in a useful format when they get older.
I have been looking online for different companies that offer video conversion and for a reasonable cost and I was actually surprised by what I found and that I could do this and I wouldn’t go broke doing it!
Once I stumbled on this service, I learned that they offered other formats of video conversion as well and got really excited! I also have a lot of home videos on VHS that I would love to convert as well!
Knowing that I can convert these memories and bring them back to life makes me giddy!
To think I can embarrass Zack down the road showing footage of his first birthday, the Libby putting on a show, and then there are the memories of our first Christmas with the Alex. I even found a tape labeled Zack’s first Christmas!
I am going to continue to round up all of our home movies and get ready to ship them out so they can all be converted at once. I hope the kids will enjoy this gift when they receive it somewhere down the road! Either way I know just having them will mean A LOT to me!
Do you have old home movies that you would like to convert?
