 It’s no secret that my mom and I are extremely close. We talk almost every day and even carry around the same bad habits such as having the obsessive yet unknowingly need to make weird Zoolander faces when looking in the mirror (which is why this morning it took us approximately nine attempts & two e-mails to successfully conquer these two semi-descent photos).

That being said, we haven’t lived in the same state since I graduated high school. Unfortunately, it’s not only me who is far away from my parents, but it’s my sister and brother as well. Traveling from Indiana to Ohio to Massachusetts to Texas isn’t exactly a straight shot for any of us. So we literally rely on e-mail, phone calls, and SKYPE to keep us all connected.

Just like myself, many others have spent their twenties figuring out where they want to be, not only in a literal sense but in a personal sense as well. Moving around from job to job, state to state, or apartment to house before ever settling is considered normal behavior. In fact, I would encourage it. Yet by doing this, it makes it somewhat difficult to see and interact with the people who care most about you and who you care most about. After experiencing this first hand, I wanted to celebrate Mother’s Day with a little One for One action. Luckily, the lovely people over at Microsoft agreed. This year in unprecedented fashion we are giving away not one, but two, of the Microsoft 1080p HD LifeCam Studio’s in order for you and your mom (or that special person in your life) to SKYPE over Mother’s Day!

A little more info about the webcam…

We’ve all had that webcam experience where you see a half of a head or a frozen sideways mouth while trying to carry on a conversation. The LifeCam creates HD video that has a crisp autofocus and built in microphone. Listen, if we can put a man on the moon we can surely SKYPE without frozen faces & piercing noises which is exactly why this giveaway is freakin’ awesome!! Consider your Mother’s Day gift covered.
