With the twins being able to eat more of a regular food selection and no longer having to buy baby food our grocery bill is a little cheaper, but still pricey. It seems like every time we go to the grocery store, prices have changed and we’re paying more for the products we enjoy. Needless to stay I’ve become the coupon clipper.. if I see a coupon I think we’ll use I snatch it up as quickly as I can and I’m always searching online for the best deals and coupons. MySavings.com even offers grocery coupons which is really cool because I can simply print them out, take them with me to the store and use them to save some money.

MySavings.com also has a community forum worth checking out where you can get info on the latest deals, coupons, free samples in both the U.S., Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland. There’s also a forum for contests and sweepstakes you can enter to win some great products as well as a forum to just chit chat about anything else.

PostersPrinting.com is completely devoted to producing beautiful, professional quality posters from your personal collection of digital photos and files.

Our web interface was designed in a way that even the most novice computer user can sail through the process of creating a full-size poster in less than 5 minutes. Simply select your options (poster size, paper stock, finishing options, delivery date), upload your file, crop and preview your image and checkout.

How do you know your photo is “good enough” to be enlarged? We’ll provide instant feedback as to whether the file you upload is of adequate quality to be blown up to a poster-sized print. Every uploaded file gets assigned an Image Grade; if your file is of insufficient resolution to be enlarged to poster-size, we tell you upfront so there are no surprises when your print arrives in the mail. – PostersPrinting.com

Pink & Posh – PostersPrinting.com is a genius site that has become the premier destination for poster printing and photo-enlargement on the web. Not only is their web interface easy to use, you can create a beautiful full size poster from any digital photo or file in less than 5 minutes. They even have a grading system that informs you quickly as to whether your uploaded file is of adequate size to be enlarged properly. In fact my first upload was a cropped one and I received a grade of F, so I went back to the original file and my upload grade became an A…AND I was able to crop it back to my liking after upload.

I’m telling you…It doesn’t get easier than this. The best part of my order though, was the really great price! Where else can you get a custom photo poster sized at 36″ x 48″ for less than $100? In fact depending on your options, you can also get that size for less than $35!

Mommy in Pink -  The process is quick, easy and the prices are reasonable. I uploaded a photo of my daughter to be enlarged and it took me all of 2 minutes because the site is so easy to navigate. They really make the process simple for customers, which I greatly appreciated! The best part about this whole process, is that I received my order 2 days later and I chose the cheapest and usually longest shipping option available!! Now that’s service, don’t you think?

You can use Posters Printing for any photo enlargement needs. Looking for a great gift for someone?…Why not order a poster of your favorite photo of them? You can even blow up your favorite wedding photo, candid moment, or even a picture of your dog if you want to.

Dore’s Diaries -  I  have to mention how amazing the customer service is at PostersPrinting.com. I corresponded with Keith on a number of occasions, asking him questions and learning more about PostersPrinting.com. He always responded to my emails quickly, with most times being within an hour. He was extremely helpful and even made sure I received my Mother’s Day posters in time because I did wait a little late to order! What can I say… I’m what you would call a Major Procrastinator!!

If you are looking for a great way to display some of your favorite pictures and turn them into works of art, I definitely recommend PostersPrinting.com!! I have a feeling I will be ordering tons of posters from them in the future. The quality of the prints and the top-notch customer service definitely made me one of their biggest fans!!

About the Company

PostersPrinting.com was founded in 2008 by our parent company, Mimeo.com. We’re not a one-press print shop. We operate out of the largest, automated digital print facility in North America; 165,000 square feet with over 500 full time employees.

So whether you’re looking for a unique gift idea for family or friends, or just to liven up a room with a great shot that to date has been relegated to the photo album, give PostersPrinting.com a try.

Hazel Mail Review by Collen @ Living Life One Day At a Time

One of my favorite hobbies is photography. I am known as the family shutterbug, as I am never at a family function without my camera. Aside from the enjoyment I get when actually taking the pictures, I also love finding new ways to share the photographs with my family and friends.

Thanks to Mom Fuse, I have been introduced to a great way for me share photos. Hazel Mail turns your photographs into personalized postcards and then prints and mails them for you. Hazel Mail asked me to create two postcards. I was thrilled to accept.

I found the Hazel Mail website easy to navigate. I was able to upload my photographs (must be .jpg or .png and under 2MB), quickly, and once I did, I had fun playing around with different background color options. (There are also a couple of frames for you to choose from as well.) Next, I typed out a message to include on the postcard. There are eight font options and ample space provided for the message. I typed the recipient’s address in, and was then able to check out.

Throughout the process of creating my postcards, I was impressed with how simple it was to create my personalized postcard. Once the postcard arrived in the mail, I was even happier with the product. The image quality was sharp, and the weight of the paper was heavy. Considering it only costs $1.50 total to create and mail personalized postcards, I know I will be a repeat customer of Hazel Mail.

Looking for a unique way to share your photos? Try Hazel Mail!

- Colleen

Winner: Sarah

I’d love to give my husband an oil painying style picture of our newborn daughter for father’s day!

Have you heard of Photofiddle.com? Photofiddle has been featured in the New York Times, USA Today, the Washington Post, PC Magazine, on Oprah’s O List and numerous other top places.

“Photofiddle allows you to create art from photos…Photofiddle will transform any picture into art with over 50 art styles to choose from.”

It’s easy! All you have to do is:

1. Create a free account with Photofiddle.com
2. Upload your photo – any photo
3. Select an art “style” – watercolor, modern art, pencil sketches, oil painting, film strip photo collages, etc. (When you select your art “style” you’ll get an instant preview of your what your artwork will look like.)
4. Choose your display preference – stretched on canvas, framed, or as a poster.
5. Click “order” and wait for your artwork to arrive.

I chose one of our twins’ 6 month pictures that we had done at Sears a few weeks ago. I chose the oil painting style on stretched canvas. I couldn’t wait until my artwork arrived and when it did I rushed to open it to see if it was as good as I expected. It was! I’m really impressed with the quality of the artwork. (Note: The picture below isn’t very clear and has a bit of a glare. I’ll try to get some other pics taken so you can see the awesomness of what Photofiddle did!)

These will make some great gifts this year and I can’t wait until the rest of the family sees the artwork. They’ll be jumping for joy when their packages arrive this year!

You know what this would make a great gift for… Valentine’s Day! Show that special someone how much you love them by giving them a superb piece of artwork that they’ll treasure forever. Create a special gift with family pictures, your wedding photo, photos of your kids.. the option are endless!

For Unforgettable Memories, Create a Fodeo!

A Fodeo is a custom DVD made from your digital photos, set to music. It’s a wonderful way to do something special with all those digital photos that are piling up!

Creating a Fodeo is super-simple! You start off by registering for an account. Then you must choose 30 photos, decide on a title, a song (any song), and let Fodeo know what kind of event the photos illustrate, and that’s it! They do all the dirty work for you! You you don’t have to sit at the computer for hours editing photos or figuring out how to make your own montage just right. Fodeo has a team of highly-qualified film or tv grad that use special software, and their own creativity, to make a unique video just for you.

After registering, you have the option of either uploading photos right away, or ordering a memory card to use with your camera. If you upload the photos there is no shipping cost, but if you request a memory card, it costs an additional $4.99. I think this is worth it if you’re not too good with computers or don’t want to spend the time uploading photos. You can load photos you already have onto the card, or you can pop the card into your camera to take photos at an upcoming event, and send them in that way.

You don’t get the memory card back, because to keep costs down Fodeo reuses the memory cards over and over again. But no worries about losing your photos – they put ALL of them in a folder on the DVD, which you can easily open with a computer. The basic Fodeo uses 30 photos, but you have the option of adding more to your montage if you’d like, by ordering additional chapters.

Processing takes about two weeks, so you still have plenty of time to get a Fodeo done by Valentine’s Day! It would be a sweet, thoughtful gift for your significant other, grandma and grandpa, or just about any loved one! This would also be a great gift for new parents, or just for you to capture the memories from the holidays, a vacation, birthday, or any other special moment in your life.

Thank you to Fodeo and Mom Fuse for this review opp!
Click here to see some fun sample videos and get more information about Fodeo.

But wait… can you do something for me? Take a look at the photos that are on your digital camera right now. If you were to make your own Fodeo, what would it be about? Think about it, because you have the chance to WIN one right here! It’s a $29.99 value! Click HERE to enter!

The Review

My husband and I are are avid coffee drinkers.  So much so that our family’s gift giving often includes a gift card to any number of local coffee shops.  Coffee on the run is preferable to no coffee at all, but there is nothing like a fresh cup of coffee straight from a French Press.  We recently sampled Eight O’ Clock Coffee’s Original grind.  This medium roast blend of 100% Arabica coffee beans was smooth, rich, and delicious. This blend was strong enough to get my husband moving in the morning without having me “wired” for the entire day.  My husband usually prefers whole bean coffee (and you can certainly go that route with Eight O’ Clock Coffee but surprisingly found the ground variation particularly enjoyable.

Eight O’ Clock Coffee’s new rewards system is making it easier than ever to justify the amount of coffee my husband and I purchase!  Accumul8 Rewards is a coffee loyalty program that allows you to redeem points you’ve collected from your Eight O’ Clock Coffee purchases.  Some of the rewards include magazine subscriptions, gift cards, and coffee and the company is planning to add to it’s current catalog!  Registration is free and the company gives you 100 bonus Reward Points for the first code you enter, and 35 Rewards Points for each referral you make who registers.  Registration is simple, quick, and free.

What I really like about the program is that it’s simple.  I already purchase coffee, so why not get rewarded for it?  As the economy persists in it’s fragile, unstable state, it’s nice to know that we don’t have to give up one of the simple pleasures we enjoy in life…a nice cup of coffee.

Caryn @ RockinMama

Best known for its #1-selling whole bean coffee, Eight O’Clock Coffee offers a full line of gourmet coffee varieties in ground and whole bean forms. Eight O’Clock Coffee is available at most retailers throughout the country. For more information about Eight O’Clock Coffee, visit www.eightoclock.com.
