Save The Pictures On Your Computer With Picture Keeper (Giveaway)

Posted on November 21, 2012January 10, 2016 by Mandy

I’m pretty good about saving most, if not all, of our pictures on the computer by uploading them to an online storage site.  However, I know this is not the only picture storage I should have in the event that the site I use goes down and all of my pictures are lost. 

What if I told you there is a product that you can insert into your computers USB port and it automatically finds all of the pictures saved to your computer and saves them to a small, portable device?  It’s called The Picture Keeper, and it’s the easiest way I’ve found to save our precious memories.

To use the Picture Keeper, simply insert it into your computer’s USB port.  A screen should automatically pop up with instructions.  All I did was click one button and Picture Keeper did the rest!  It automatically searches and saves your photos.  It saved nearly all of my pictures and told me how many weren’t saved because I had used my allotted space.  Time for me to purchase another one!  These would make excellent stocking stuffers for anyone who uses a digital camera.

Secure Online Holiday Shopping Tips- #LifeLock

Posted on November 20, 2012January 10, 2016 by Mandy

christmas shopping

In just a couple of days the biggest shopping day of the year will be upon us. I’ve mentioned several times here on my blog that I am not a Black Friday shopper unless I shop online. However, it doesn’t matter to an identity thief if I shop in brick and mortar stores or on the internet. If I am handing over my personal information in any form, I’m vulnerable to the possibility of identity theft.

I’ve been fortunate in that I have never encountered a problem while shopping online. I can probably attribute this to a few things, so I thought I would share with you how I try my best to shop safely online. First, I only deal with reputable stores. If you come to a website/online store that is filled with typos and just looks disorganized, I would think twice before giving away any of my information, even my email address. I realize that some shop owners have small businesses and may not have a “fancy” looking website, and that’s completely ok. I usually do my homework by searching them out online to see if anyone else has had any bad experiences with them. Most smaller shops may also have their products listed on Ebay or Etsy where you might feel more comfortable purchasing from.

When shopping online, I also look for a secure checkout area when I am ready to complete my purchase. This is usually highlighted in the browser area, the site’s address always has “https” instead of just “http"”,  and shows an icon that looks like a lock. This lets me know I am using a secure connection and my information will be protected.

Finally, I try never to store any of my credit cards online in a store’s database. Sure, it’s faster to check out online when your credit or debit card information is already saved there, but it also takes only once for someone to hack a company’s database and your information is now vulnerable and no longer private.

I’m so glad this holiday shopping season I have LifeLock’s comprehensive services helping to protect me from and alert me to potential credit card fraud and identity theft.  How do you make sure you are shopping safely online?  I would love to hear your suggestions and tips.

Be sure and follow LifeLock on Facebook, where you can enter the LifeLock For Life Sweepstakes and also on Twitter. There, you will find even more great tips for keeping your identity safe.

Goodbye Hostess, Spoiled Cats, and Sinful Desserts

Posted on November 18, 2012January 10, 2016 by Mandy

Friday at 3:15 PM, my 9 day Thanksgiving holiday break from work started and, let me tell you, I was TOO excited to see it coming.  I’ve been very busy at work organizing two closets in my library, lesson planning, the usual classroom work, and also planning a Battle of the Books, a reading fair, and a spelling bee.  I’m dizzy just thinking about it all, so I’m not going to for the next week.  My poor brain needs a rest!

I did the grocery shopping Saturday so I could settle in for the rest of the week and work at home.  Cleaning, blogging, and organizing MORE closets.  Wait….that sounds really familiar….like work.  And speaking of the store…..

All of the Hostess Twinkies and Ding Dongs have been completely wiped out of our local Kroger.  I guess someone feared withdrawals.  It’s still kind of hard to believe there will be no more Hostess.

My shopping partner was loads of help.

He talked himself (and me!) silly until he fell asleep.  I love that little guy.  Who isn’t so little anymore, but he still fits in the front of the shopping cart.

Pearl (our female cat) scored herself a nice cat tent this week.  I had originally purchased it for our male cat, Clyde, but Pearl has claimed it, so I guess I have to order another one.

Last weekend I had lunch at a local bistro with the ladies in our family (mom’s side) and I ate this and enjoyed every single, sinful bite of it.

And then THESE fell in my shopping cart at Walgreens.  I swear!
