Note: This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Verizon. The opinions and text are all mine. The number one thing on MY holiday wish list this year is a laptop. I’ve survived many, many years without a laptop (the last laptop I owned was in college…). I love my big screen…

Step-by-Step Guide to Converting Home Movies into DVDs
In the last 17 1/2 years since I got married and had kids, I’ve gathered up quite an extensive collection of home movies.
