The holidays are over, and if you’re anything like me you’ve probably got dozens, if not hundreds, of digital photos stored on your computer right now. If you’re also like me, you probably worry from time to time about losing them. Backing them up to CDs can be time consuming and tedious with much of the software I’ve tried.
So I was thrilled when Picture Keeper sent me their little gadget to try. It’s a fantastically simple way to safeguard irreplaceable digital photos. You just plug the little USB device into your computer, and it does all the work for you. It finds all of the pictures stored on your computer and saves them safely to the device. The next time you plug it in, it only pulls in new photos so you never had to worry about duplicates! You can even schedule back up reminders on their site, which this busy mom definitely needs.
The Picture Keeper comes in two sizes, 4GB which holds 4,000 pictures and 8GB which holds 8,000 pictures. If you’re not sure which size you would need to store your photos, check out their tutorial.
Through January Picture Keeper is offering readers $15 off with the code DealForMoms. This makes the 4GB Picture Keeper only $25! I think that’s a price well worth the peace of mind that comes from knowing my photos are secure outside of my computer (assuming one of the kiddos doesn’t run off with the device, LOL).
Better yet, Picture Keeper has graciously given me an 8GB Picture Keeper to give away to one lucky Deal Seeking Mom Reader. I love it when companies let me share these fabulous products with you all!

I have been working on digitalizing all my old family pictures (some of which date back into the 1800’s) so that I can give them as gifts to the rest of the family, This would a much safer place to keep them until I can get them all finished.
Thanks!
