Mom really enjoyed working in
the dental office, but yearned to attain more.
With great thought, she went back to school to train as a dental
assistant. She was successful, but again
yearned to attain more. Once again with
great thought, she went back to school to train as a dental hygienist. Again she was very successful! Decades later, and my mom still loves her
job. She is now close to her retirement
years, but plans to keep on working. It
fulfils her. My mother and father
recently celebrated 45 years of marriage. I'm very proud of my mom and all that she has accomplished with great determination. Happy Mother's Day, Mom!
It is because I am so proud of my mom, that I wanted to give her a really special present this year for Mother's Day. I thought I would go big this year, and give a great gift to a mom who asks for nothing. My mom's computer was on its last legs, and it was really ancient. It would not be a big stretch to say that it was one of the original computers, with only kilobytes of total memory and a floppy disk drive--not even diskette!

The HP Envy x2 Undocks & Becomes a Stand-Alone Tablet! |
 |
Wait Mom, There's More! A HP Envy 120 e-All-in-One Wireless Printer! |
This year we had an intimate brunch at my mom's house for Mother's Day, and I gave my mom an
HP Envy x2 laptop tablet as her present! To say that she was surprised, is a gross understatement! It weighs in at only 3.1 lbs, about the weight of a kitten, and acts either as a laptop, or undocks to become a stand-alone tablet. It offers touchscreen and keyboard functionality, a Windows 8 interface, up to 64GB eMMC SSD hard drive, 1.80 GHz dual core Intel Atom processor, and Beats Audio dual speakers...just to name a few features. It's really cool, and just as its name, gives me serious "Envy".

Look Mom, Print Wirelessly From Your Smartphone & Tablet! |
Imagine her surprise when I presented her with
another gift to unwrap: the
HP Envy 120 e-All-in-One wireless printer! It can print, copy and scan, but it's "secret power" is that it's wireless, and can print from my mom's smartphone or brand new tablet! I was kind of floored when I noticed that the printer was touchscreen enabled too. The wireless printer came with both HP brand black and colour cartridges, which made it easy for mom to get started.

Some HP Accessories to Get Mom Going |
To get mom ready to print on her new all-in-one printer, I stocked mom up with HP accessories such as: HP Bright White Inkjet paper, HP Advanced Photo Paper (to print out important photographs), and an additional two HP 60 XL brand black and coloured cartridges. These cartridges print up to 2.5 times more pages than a standard cartridge, and are reviewed very well online, wherever I checked.
My mom was a "little" overwhelmed this Mother's Day weekend, so I'm going to let her get settled in and acquainted with her new HP goodies! I'll update again soon letting you know how she's enjoying her great new items, and what she's been using it for.
