Virtually Connecting With My Mom This #MothersDay { HP Pavilion X360 Review } #HPLovesMoms #HPMom

The Switch

It wasn’t till 8 years ago when I celebrated my first Mother’s Day as a mother, did I actually truly understand how special Mother’s Day meant to a mother. Of course we celebrated it with our mother’s but to feel the deep down pulling of my heart-strings didn’t come till I could experience caring for my own child. You never truly understand the connection a mother will hold with their child until you’re a mother. 

Absorbed

They always say being a parent doesn’t come with instructions and that couldn’t be more true. Although some how your motherly instinct kicks into high gear the first time you meet your precious little baby or child. From that moment on you try your best and give motherhood all you got because doing your best is all there is for you to do.

But what happens when you are in the thick of motherhood? 

What happens when the rest of your life becomes a fog? 

I will be the first to admit I feel like I have lost that spark with my own mother, friends and family, because naturally I have been so absorbed in our four children. Having them all back to back hasn’t really helped with my connections, although I wish it did bring us all closer together.

No Regrets

This year I have vowed to be more spiritual within and see life with a new set of eyes. History is something I cannot change but I can learn from it. I will live with no regrets today and I hold the key to my future. 

The Gift of Connecting

Even the short 30 minute drive between my mother and I can seem little a huge leap for me between school hours, play dates and chores. However, this Mother’s Day HP and I collaborated on a special little project which will help my mother and I connect virtually.

My mother doesn’t have a computer and has very basic computer skills. Dialog between emails has always been hit and miss for us. With a computer always at my finger tips I am finding it the easiest way for me to juggle my many balls and the most effective way for me to keep connected.

When my gracious friends at HP sent me along an HP Pavilion X360 to gift to my mother this Mother’s day I knew I would need to book a day with her to walk her through some computer 101, bringing her up to speed in technology.

My mother was in absolute shock and the expression of joy on her face, brightened my world. She is the one person in my life I crave more of and making her happy and gifting her something that she actually needed, melted my heart.

HP Loves Moms, Moms Love HP Pavilion X360 Review

We spent the day together (which was amazing), together we set up all the apps that would make her life easier and help give us more connection time. She was so excited about her email linking to her calendar and displayed on her desktop. So was I because now we can book dates and email them to each other with ease. Not only is the HP Pavilion 360 a laptop but also a tablet, this feature is by far my favorite along with the touchscreen! 

It really feels great to have built a new way to connect with my mother and it only weights 3.08 lbs. A few hours after she was all set up she felt confident in her new device because HP makes it easy with a tap, swipe or pinch we will be connected in more ways than one.

With HP TrueVision HD Webcam we look forward to Skyping together with the kids which will help us with face to face connections during our busy week nights. The HP Pavilion X360 has won my heart with it’s versatility and ease of use.

Gratitude

After our visit was over I felt extremely satisfied about the connections that we would make through the digital world to each other. With knowledge and a simple tool thanks to HP, our future was looking brighter and I couldn’t stop smiling after my mother left, I am pretty confident she was wearing the same smile.

 How are you building a deeper connection to a mother in your life this Mother’s Day?
