Life has been ultra crazy, productive, inspiring, challenging, and fulfilling lately and I owe it all to this wonderful world of mom blogging. I get to create content I love, with people who get me and share my passions (you!),  and I can be a happy, albeit a bit frazzled, mom and wife who can be an active part of her family’s life. Aside from that, I get to attend amazing blogging and social media conferences where not only I get to hone my craft, but also meet other mom bloggers who are confident enough to share with me their know-how and a helping hand.

I’m on my way to one of those conferences—Mom 2.0 Summit in Key Biscayne, FL. I get to go there thanks to the sponsorship from the Microsoft Windows team who have been nothing short of supportive of all we do. And, as working moms who are putting everything into this labor of love blog, we need this support from brands that get us and you.

I’ll be capturing all the Mom 2.0 Summit action on my stylish and lightweight Lenovo IdeaPad U300 and using my Windows Live Suite to blog with Live Writer, jot notes and action steps with OneNote, edit my pics with Live Photo Gallery and keep it all safe in Sky Drive.

But since we hate to brag and be all me-me-me, we’ve hooked up a second Lenovo IdeaPad to give away to one ultra lucky SpanglishBaby amiga in celebration of mamás!

A busy mom like you who’s on an important mission of raising bilingual and bicultural kids needs to stay super connected to technology that can help you access the best online tools for learning and interacting.

Check out HERE all the cool features the ultraportable and fast Lenovo IdeaPad U300 has so you can get ridiculously excited…it’s ok…I’m excited too!

Also, just in time for Mother’s Day, we wanted to share some great tools for you to connect with the mujer (madre, abuela, tía!) you love!

· Tip #1: Use Windows Live Messenger (Window’s free video chat service) to say ‘Te quiero’ to Mom!

· Tip #2: Create a custom Mother’s Day card in  Microsoft Paint, a feature in Windows that you can use to draw, color, and edit pictures.

· Tip #3: Show her the latest and greatest in your life by sharing your photos with friends and family via Windows Live Photo Gallery and SkyDrive

· Tip #4: Share images on your Pinterest boards using the Windows Mother’s Day photos. If you’re on Pinterest, you can also enter the Say Thanks to Mom contest where you could win an Acer Aspire S3 laptop. More info here.
