This product is amazing" commented our grandmother tester.  We have used this product non-stop since it arrived for review and every tester has raved about it.  As avid digital photographers they loved the ease with which they could print out pictures.  "It's literally a snap!" said our grandfather tester.  "I'm not very savvy with new electronic gadgets, but I just had to put in my media card, select the photos and press the button to print!  The quality of the photos is also amazing!"  All testers agreed that this was a very easy to use product.  They liked the fact that all they had to do was plug it in, put in their memory card, select images and print.  They printed black & white and sepia images, as well as as wallet size pictures.  It inspired them to take out their cameras and snap away, just so that they could print out more!

The PictureMate SNAP by Epson, allows you to print at home or on the go.  At home you home you just plug it in, and on the go you can use batteries.  There is an adjustable 2.5 inch photo viewer and a great editing feature.  You can crop, remove red eye, and even brighten or darken the image -- all without a computer!  The photos print out in 4x6 format in under a minute!  If you want you can even add Disney frames!  Each print is smudge, scratch, water and fade resistant which makes it even better when your dealing with the grandkids! The initial package includes Paper and cartridge for about 20 4" x 6" photos.

Each PictureMate Print Pack contains everything you need to print the photos.  So if you want to send out 150 Christmas cards, you'd purchase the 100 pack - that's ink and paper for just $37.99!  Much less than any photo processing shop! 

All the grandparents and parents that reviewed this product agree that this is hands down one of the best gifts you could receive or get this holiday season! The kids also had a blast -- talk about instant gratification!  We just loved this product!

The Diaper Diaries: The Real Poop On A New Mom’s First Year By Cynthia L. Copeland
"Hilarious." states our mom reviewer.  "This is the wittiest book I’ve read in this category. It's a must buy. I laughed through most of the book. Realistically portrays what life with a baby will be like. The book covers everything from your stay in the hospital to life with a small baby to different types of moms you will encounter.  The illustrations are really funny and creative. The book also covers some tips that will help you keep your sanity. My husband also thought this book was really funny."
