Do you take a lot of photos? I sure do! I love my DSLR and how easy it is to share, save and edit my photos instantly. While it may be ideal to share your photos through email, social media and online photo sharing sites with your family and friends, there are benefits to being able to print and share photos at home.
Imagine taking a rare family photo with all your aunts, uncles and cousins at your holiday gathering. Sure, you can tell most `you will post the photos to Facebook and that will be good, but what about Aunt Harriet who does not have a computer and thinks if she tries to use one her identity will be stolen? Wouldn’t it be nice to send Aunt Harriet, Uncle Earl and Aunt Ethel home with that rare group photo? It sure would be, and it can be hassle free!
All you need to do is insert your SD card or use Wi-Fi Direct and print from your smart phone with the Epson PictureMate PM-400 Personal Photo Lab.
This unit was so easy to set up, we inserted the 1 ink cartridge and let it go through a 4 minute set up. Then I inserted my SD card and it was so easy, my 7 and 9-year-old were able to select their favorite photos and print them. The pictures were great quality, the colors vibrant and the image was clear and sharp. Check out our video review below:
This compact unit is small on size and big on features! It uses MicroPiezo inkjet technology to create detailed prints at 5760 x 1440 dpi at up to 5 x 7″, ideal for snapshots and family photos. You can also set the layout to print multiple photos to one page. You can use 3.5 x 5″, 4 x 6″, and 5 x 7″ paper, as well as No. 10 envelopes, for producing your most common and convenient photo sizes. It is fast, capable of producing a 4 x 6″ photo in about 36 seconds.
Have a big family? No worries, everyone can go home with a copy without having to reload the printer because it can hold 50 sheets of plain paper and 20 sheets of gloss photo paper. It is versatile and will power up with the conventional power plug included or you can use a USB 2.0 cable to connect to a USB port.
You can do some photo editing directly on the printer like cropping, removing red-eye and more. There is only one ink cartridge to install and the dye based ink is rated to last up to 200 years in album storage. The photos are scratch, water, smudge and fade resistant.
I will be inserting a video review of this printer so you can get an up close and personal look at the unit.

Thank you to Epson for sponsoring this post and providing me with this awesome printer. As always my words and views are 100% my own.
Are you trying to get more organized? Do you ever pack things up in boxes and totes and forget what’s inside? Do you ever want to do something crafty like create professional looking monogrammed or personalized ribbons for cards, wedding favors, hair bows and more? If you answered yes to any or all of these things, I want to introduce you to the Epson LabelWorks LW-600P Label Printer.
This compact desktop label printer will let you create original labels that you can customize with clip art, your own photos and even your own handwriting or drawings. You can also take a picture of what is in the boxes you are packing and create a bar code label to stick on the outside of the box. If you scan the bar code label you will see a picture of what is inside the box!
Labels are not the only thing it prints. How about printing on beautiful ribbons. What a great way to make wedding and party favors, your own cards, custom ornament hanging ribbon, hair bows, and so much more.
It’s so simple to start printing with the bluetooth capability. I was able to create and print from my laptop, iPad and iPhone in a flash. Just download the app and I was ready to roll. I cannot wait to use this to organize our home which is in the middle of at least 4 major home improvement projects at the same time. I am so excited to start taking back some order and taming the chaos around here. I will update with more of my own projects and organization examples very soon.

My husband was on cloud 9 when I told him that we were getting a MegaPlex MG-850HD Easy Home Theater 3LCD Projector from Epson to review. Normally when review products come into the house, they are carefully put to the side for me to get to, but not this package. My husband wasted no time in unboxing and setting it up, which was super easy. He hooked up our Blu-ray player to it and in no time our living room was transformed into our new media room. This projector works so well and the picture quality is just like being at the movies. My little ones are in Heaven and this has helped so much with times this winter when we were down with the flu or snowed in, to make days a little brighter. Right now we have it projecting on a solid white wall and it still looks great, we are going to be purchasing a nice screen so that it will give the room a true media feel.
We cannot wait to use the projector to show outdoor movies in the summer, we are already planning on getting an outdoor screen, movie theater type popcorn maker and having movie night with friends and family. We use this projector daily and because I review so many movies, it is so handy. The kids recently watched Wreck It Ralph on it and thought it was awesome. The sound is great and it’s an awesome machine and we are so pleased. We can also hook up our Roku player to it and project tons of movies, TV shows, music and more from all the top sources, including Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, Disney and Pandora. Now we can go to the movies with our kids any time we want, not have to worry about someone sitting in front of them or be charged a small fortune for popcorn and soda. We love using this for family nights together and like I said cannot wait to share big movie nights outdoors in the summer. If you are looking for a great projector to create a media room in your home this projector is perfect.
Delivering 2800 lumens of color brightness (color light output)1 and 2800 lumens of white brightness (white light output)1, the MegaPlex 850HD easy home theater uses 3LCD, 3-chip technology for brilliant images with true-to-life color. Ultra bright, HD performance lets you project vibrant, colorful images for big-screen movie nights, pool parties, camp outs and more. Share your favorite content anywhere in ways you never imagined. The MegaPlex 850HD super sizes HD movies, games, TV shows, sporting events, family slide shows and more. Connect your Apple® or AndroidTM smartphone, tablet, gaming console, PC or other device2. Or, place your Apple device in the built-in dock3. Just connect and project — on a sheet, a wall, the garage door or a big screen — wherever. MegaPlex even features built-in stereo speakers for lifelike sound. Use your device’s touchscreen or the projector remote control to easily access various functions. From your living room to your backyard block party, now it’s easier than ever to take fun home entertainment anywhere.
Up to 3x Brighter Colors with Epson* Brilliant image quality requires high color brightness.
