Mosaic Photo Book App: Quick, Inexpensive Photo Memories

When was the last time you took an actual camera with you every where you went? I know for me, its been years. Most of the moments I have captured, have been with a cell phone camera. Ever since I got my first smartphone, where I could easily share pictures with a couple of buttons, I haven't taken the big camera out near as much.

Problem is, I also don't get most cell phone pictures printed and organized into books or frames any more either. One look at the pictures in my hall way and you will see that its been a minute.

Then, I got an email from the people at Mixbook last week offering to let me review their new app Mosaic. Mosaic is an iPhone and Android app that allows users to effortlessly create a 20-page photo book in 5 minutes for only $20, and delivered to your doorstep in 4 days. It uses the
called
photos on your phone and prints them with insanely good quality in a 7" square book. It sounded too good to be true.

I downloaded the app and was surprised at how quick and easy it was to create my photo book. All I did was pick the photos I wanted to use, chose if I wanted a black or white background on the pages, and then complete the order! It seriously took less time than it would have to print the pictures at the store.

Once ordered, my photo book was on my doorstep in exactly 4 days. I opened it up and was immediately pleased. They take the time to properly box and protect your photo book. Like a ready to give gift. The quality of the images was surprising to me too. I used all Instagram photos but you can use regular shots too.

If you are looking for an easy way to create a memory of a special occasion or a quick, cheap gift for the grandparents, Mosaic is definitely the way to go.

To download the Android or iPhone app, check the app store on your phone or just go to the Mosaic website and they will connect you with the right place.

Our Beachy Weekend #WW

We picked the most beautiful day...

And headed to Acworth Beach for some fun in the sun.

The boys had fun splashing.

And playing.

My Little Boys #WW

These boys. They are my whole world. They have shown me how to love and how to grow. They have shown me how to stay young even when I feel my oldest. To let things go and to forgive, even when it wasn't warranted. They keep me strong and keep me fighting for the right causes. They keep me grounded and keep my hurting heart in check. Sometimes, love just isn't a big enough word for what I feel for them.

Ze Bubbles! #WW

Here We Go Again! #NaBloPoMo2012

Its time! Its time for National Blog Posting Month! If you aren't savy, and you are a blogger, you should be. Every year, bloggers around the world join in and post at least once a day, every day, in an effort to jump start their brains into mad blogging gear. Its awesome.

I have joined in for NaBloPoMo every year for the last three years that RMM has been alive and kicking. Its always been something that I start out thinking there is no way I will be able to keep it up but somehow always finish. It gives me a goal and I am not one to back down from a goal.

Of course then there is the community aspect of it. Last year, much to my dismay, BlogHer took over NaBloPoMo in what I can only imagine was another attempt to make everyone miserable and uncomfortable as they seem so keen to do. Corprotize everything in blogging land and make a profit? BlogHer says yes please.

Down with the man!

So anyway, with the grand take over, there are many more hoops to jump through in order to officially participate than there used to be but the community is growing and this year is hopefully going to be the biggest ever.

This year, I am doing two "challenges" to help along. The RAK in November Challenge and the Photo Mojo Instagram Challenge. If you want to join in on those, I would love to keep up with you. Just let me know and lets do this thing!

Photo Mojo #5: Days 25- 30

Here we go! The last set of the Photo Mojo challenge! I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. If you are looking for the explanation on Photo Mojo, you can find the list HERE. Week one's pictures are HERE. Week Two's pictures are HERE. And of course Week Three's are HERE and last weeks are HERE. I have decided to just do away with the linky since no one was using it anyway. No worries. I am still very proud of my progress! If you do still have pictures to share, feel free to leave a link in the comment section so I can visit!

I am going to take a break on this the next few weeks, but I am thinking of doing this challange again in March. Practice makes perfect, right? I will let you all know what I decide to do!
