It’s almost Mother’s Day! It’s that time of year to thank mom for their hard work in managing the every day life of a family. And as we all know, it’s not an easy task! However, let’s don’t forget that moms have passions outside of being mamas too! Whether it’s cooking, running marathons, photography or shopping – we each have passions and hobbies outside of chasing babies.
My passion? Writing. Most days, I don’t have as much time to write as I would like, but writing is a fun outlet for me. It’s a way for me to document what’s going on in my world and as cheesy as it sounds, it’s my “release”.
As a mom, what are some of your passions?
This week, the Microsoft team is celebrating moms across the country with events at select Microsoft Stores across the country. And the celebration continues right here!
Check out these great Microsoft Windows products.. and keep reading to learn how you can win them!

The Microsoft Store has everything you need for the tech-junkie in your life! Whether it’s a new PC, new accessories or even an XBox for the whole family to enjoy – a Microsoft Store gift card is a great gift to show Mom you care.
Windows HTC Radar Phone
The HTC Radar Windows Phone is a great phone for moms “on the go”. With live tiles, offering customization and organization – you can personalize the phone to feature the people and information that mean most right on the start screen. The built-in camera with social sharing capabilities and Skype capabilities are great ways to keep in touch with loved ones.
Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500
The Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 offers comfort, portability and precision. With BlueTrack Technology, this mouse can be used on any irregular surface – truly making it accessible on the go. Offered in a variety of colors, this high-tech mouse was recently released in April 2012 making it a hot gift item!
