Motionbox is giving away lots of goodies to FIVE lucky iMommies readers! So…what is Motionbox? Motionbox is to digital videos what companies like Snapfish and Shutterfly are to digital photos. It’s a web-based toolset for the average, not super tech-savvy consumer that provides a place to easily capture, enhance, share, and preserve video memories. If you’re anything like me, you have a number of handheld gadgets that take digital video, but no real way of hosting or displaying those videos. Until Motionbox, my videos sat lifeless and unaccessed in a Windows file, never to be seen by the outside world.
Motionbox to the rescue! This past Tuesday, Motionbox introduced their new solution for personal, private video-sharing with friends and family. With so many consumers owning a video-enabled device (whether it’s a point-and-shoot camera, the new Flip Video player, iPhone, etc.), most do only a few things with them: upload to YouTube (eek! That can be scary), use editing software for the super tech-savvy, or like most of us…leave it on the device.
It’s the ease of use, security, and creative capabilities of the site that make Motionbox a pioneer in this targeted space. Alongside the consumer introduction, Motionbox will also be launching a premium service with unique storage and output benefits, as well as avenues for creating original hard goods called Motionbooks. Motionbooks are similar to the traditional flip-book, and allow you to take 15 seconds of your favorite video and turn it into a handheld video keepsake (or a fun way to send out holiday greetings with the kids this year)! They’re perfect hostess gifts, stocking stuffers, and tangible keepsakes that can display your precious videos without ever needing access to a computer, TV, or electronic device.
How exactly does this work? It couldn’t be easier…simply plug your camera or phone into your computer, download the videos, then upload to Motionbox. They offer a free service for those who take only a few videos throughout the year, as well as a premium membership with unlimited hosting for only $30 per year. If you’d like to create a Motionbook from your Motionbox hosted video, you simply select a 15-second clip, then select a book theme, and Motionbox does the rest!
To introduce iMommies readers to the amazing solution Motionbox brings to the digital video world, Motionbox is sponsoring several giveaways…7 personalized Motionbooks and 1 premium membership for a full year! See below for full details and entry instructions.

Alright, so you shopped until you could shop no more. You went to the stores and battled the other shoppers and slow lines! You browsed the web and battled other surfers and slow sites! So, you thought that you could finally rest from the hectic weekend of Christmas shopping…well think again! Even though there were a TON of awesome deals to be found online on Black Friday, did I mention CYBER MONDAY?! Cyber Monday (which I think is a fairly lame name for the internets biggest shopping day 
) is the traditional day that online retailers have great deals to lure shoppers to continue to buy stuff, even though they have to go back to work. Here are some of the cool deals I found online!
SuperTarget has online printable coupons this week for $0.75 off any package of Kraft cheese. You can use the coupon on any Kraft cheese product, but the individual packages of String Cheese are regularly priced at about $0.27 each, which means…free school lunch snacks!
According to Kraft’s website, their string cheese can be frozen for up to two months, as long as the package is unopened.
Well, Black Friday is almost over and the sales have been fierce. Whether or not you braved the cold and crowds, there were deals out there to be had. Luckily, I was lucky enough to not only find deals at the stores, but a TON of deals online - MANY OF WHICH WILL BE AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND!
Check out the following sites for some of the best deals on the web, as well as, some examples of the cool deals to be had online:

Again, happy shopping and stay safe and warm!
In the latest issue (Nov ‘07), Parenting Magazine published their annual list of Toys of the Year. This list is compiled by kid-testers for fun and mom-testers for safety, durability, and, of course, annoyance! There are 26 toys divided by age, so, before you hit the malls this weeked, check out this list for the latest-n-greatest in “kid-tested, mother-approved” toys! Now the prices are FULL RETAIL, so I’m sure you can get them cheaper if you look around a little.
If you’re like me, then you’re waiting anxiously for Friday to come, so you can wake up early (really early!), put on some heavy clothes, drive to your favorite store, and…WAIT! You mumble to yourself in a Mervyn’s-style, “Open. Open. Open.” When you finally get in, you have to run around and LOOK for the best deals, hoping that you don’t miss them! Well, worry no longer…
Thanks to the ads in the newspapers and television, we’re able to know ahead of time what great deals to expect on Friday…but who has time to scan all the ads, especially with the crazy schedule of Thanksgiving? Here is the answer:
Must be Murphy’s Law…I broccoli’ed my family out last week when I used SuperTarget coupons to get $1 off each bunch (making them $0.99). If I’d waited a few days, I could have gotten them free! Anyone have any good broccoli recipes you’d like to share? :)
Today’s Stock the Pantry item is good only at SuperTarget stores. They have broccoli and cauliflower on sale for $0.99 each, and an online coupon for $1 off! Thanks for the tip, Money Saving Mom!
