Mom Moments
Mother’s Day is this coming Sunday. When thinking about a gift to purchase I always look for unique Mother’s Day gifts. The standard flowers and card seem nice yet over played. YesVideo’s transfer service offers the ability to preserve your old memories for future generations.
My mom was always the photographer in our family. A total amateur but her passion behind the camera made most photos look professional. She captured photos from every family event even if we were just walking around the Botanical Gardens. She has albums and albums of photographs that are sitting on a shelf or in a box not being viewed by anyone. The photos are starting to fade away and some of the memories can not be replaced since several family members have since passed away. She also has VHS tapes with very little labeling on them from my childhood. I can only imagine what all is on those videos. I know years worth of my dance recitals that I’m not sure I even want to see, could be embarrassing…
When thinking of my favorite mom moments I started to browse through digital photos I had on my own computer. The above photo was taken at the Yanni Voices concert I took my mom to for her birthday one year. We had a great time and one of the perks from blogging is we were able to meet the performers backstage for a meet and greet with photos and autographs. She truly loved the concert and it was a nice break away from work for the two of us alone.
My mom also attended the Disney Social Media Moms event with me and my kids in 2011. I was given the chance to make some lasting memories with my own children as well as with my mom. That’s three generations together on a vacation. It was nice.
YesVideo has launched a new service for album transfers. You ship in your full photo album, untouched, and they will capture all your old photos and digitize them on a DVD for you. Without touching your actual photos and without removing them from the photo album. None of their competitors offer this service. Once your photos have been preserved in a digital format, YesVideo will ship your album back to you in the exact condition it arrived in. This service is perfect for my mom since some of her photos are stuck within the albums and we know if we remove them they may fall apart.
Since Mother’s Day is just a few days away there is still plenty of time to purchase a gift certificate for your mom from YesVideo and preserve her old memories. I bet some of those old home movies haven’t been watched in years! It’s like giving the gift of time…
Don’t forget to follow YesVideo on their social networks to keep up to date with the new services and special offers.
Full Disclosure: This post is part of a Mother’s Day campaign for YesVideo. All opinions are 100% mine.
That is an awesome service, I have so many photo albums from my years as a kid that I would totally take advantage of such a service! Very creative for YesVideo to offer this!
What sweet photos and stories behind them!
