Creating Music Sheets: HP Family Time #ad #HPFamilyTime

October 9, 2013 by Momstart 1 Comment

I’m working with HP as an HP Family Time member and received samples the HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11 and HP ENVY 4500e-All-in-One printer from them. All opinions are my own.

Zoe and Miles play the piano and they have to practice every day before they can play with electronics or watch TV. The book they use is where most of their music comes from but some times we like to encourage some fun time. We like for them to explore the keys and make their own music and play other songs. My husband was playing with them the other day trying to show them that once they learn a few songs then they can just play them for fun. One of the songs he was playing was of course chopsticks and the other song was the Wedding March.

Well, he went on the computer using Windows 8.1 new integrated search and found a free version of the song for the keyboard and printed it out. I love the new search abilities because you can find some much more information and it’s all listed in rows. You get to the search by swiping your finger on the right hand side of the screen. Then select search.

I love the way it shows the results in columns. It looks like this. You see all kinds of search results and just keep swiping right to find more and more. It’s one of my new favorite features in Windows 8.1.

Plus with their music it’s much easier to make copies of our music books. Playing right out of the books is a little difficult because until they are quite USED they don’t stay open. Zoe’

I Love These HP Paper Dolls #NYFW #HPFamilyTime #Sponsored

September 17, 2013 by Momstart 1 Comment

I’m working with HP as an HP Family Time member and received samples the HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11 and HP ENVY 4500e-All-in-One printer from them. All opinions are my own.

As a little girl I LOVED playing with paper dolls and now it’s like they are an antique. it seems impossible to find paper dolls. Maybe if I looked for them on-line and was willing to pay a fortune in shipping just for a book of paper dolls then I would be able to find them, but I’m not.

But what I am willing to do is find them on the internet and print them out and then use the time to cut them out as craft time with my daughter. HP sent me a link to a paper doll with a few dresses. They were part of fashion week and this is where technology meets fashion and inspires little girls to create their own fashion. I downloaded this print.

You can find the paper dolls on these social media sites:

The HP Paper Dolls (see above and below) was created and inspired by the most buzzed about looks at NYFW.

Hunger Games HP Folio 13 Special Edition Laptop

March 22, 2012 by Momstart 1,759 Comments

I’m still super jealous that Ashley was able to go to the movie screening for The Hunger Games and I wasn’t. And I’m not about to wait in line with hundreds of teenagers to see the movie at midnight tonight so I’m just going to have to arrange a date night later this month to see it with my hubby. Since she’s had behind the scenes of The Hunger Games already, she wanted to do the write up for this giveaway. I just felt like I had to add my two scents because I’m equally excited about the movie as she is and I love Microsoft, in partnership with Lionsgate, they launched a Hunger Games movie companion site: The Capitol Tour, letting you experience the movie online with exclusive, behind-the-scenes content that brings the world of Panem to life. If you’re like me and not going to see the movie right away then you can visit The Capitol Tour to unlock never before movie scenes. You may recognize that exact scene from the trailer – many of the places you’ll experience on the Capitol Tour are pulled directly from the movie, giving you early access to the land of Panem.

HUNGER GAMES Special Edition Laptop GIVEAWAY – Are the Odds in Your Favor?

By: Ashley

Yep. You read that right. We are giving away a special edition Hunger Games HP Folio 13. This isn’t just any ordinary computer. This is a quick, sleek, lightweight, fully loaded, business class PC… complete with customized lid. This is not just a decorative skin, but an actual engraving of The Hunger Games movie title and the District 12 logo. This computer is exactly what you need to boast your District pride when visiting the Capitol.

What do I think is most impressive about the HP Folio 13? It is completely portable. When you’re traveling from district to district, running from a flaming fireball, or maybe even a genetically engineered monster, this computer is only 3.3 pounds, has a rubbery grip bottom, and 9 hours of battery life! Lightweight and a strong battery? That’s what every tribute needs!

SUPER fast start up time is also a great feature of this PC. My home district wasn’t big on technology, so when I read that the HP Folio 13 had a 128 GB solid state drive, I didn’t realize that meant lightning-fast bootup, shut down, and sleep-resume times. Now I know that the 128 GB solid state drive outperforms standard hard drives.

Maybe you’re more in the mood for some entertainment. Well the HP Folio 13 can handle that, too. The Intel HD Graphics 3000 with shared graphics memory and the Dolby Advanced Audio built in speakers will fill whatever arena you’re in.

Want to know more? Here are the product specs direct from the Microsoft Store.

This Hunger Games HP Folio 13 is obviously not just any old computer. To top it all off, this is a Microsoft Signature product. That means it will come ready to go as soon as it’s out of the box. Each PC includes Windows 7, Windows Live Essentials (for your photos, movies, email and more), Zune software and Internet Explorer. The PC is free from all unnecessary trialware and sample software so you can get going with a new computer that looks and acts like a new computer within minutes of unwrapping it! If you have any trouble, no need to worry. You’ve got full Microsoft support for 90 days. That’s all thanks to Microsoft Signature.

So, what are you waiting for? This is a giveaway DEFINITELY worth entering. Winners are selected at random so the odds are in everyone’s favor. Get ready, the world is watching!

This giveaway has ended. Winner to be announced soon!

Disclosure – MomStart and Ashley (of Momicles) are both Windows Champions . The information and prize for this post was provided by Microsoft or a representing PR firm. No compensation was received for this post.

About Ashley: Ashley has a background in teaching Kindergarten and working with children K through 8th grade. She is now a SAHM and writes her own blog at Momicles.

HP INKOLOGY At Home Pintables

December 23, 2011 by Momstart 409 Comments

When you think HP you think laptop or printer or really cool tech product company right? All three are completely correct but HP is always looking to increase their reach and in preparation for the holiday season they have brought us INKOLOGY at home.

At INKOLOGY you can create a very special customized holiday gift from HP. The widget above will give you the ability to download, customize, and quickly print some fun holiday items for free. HP sent me a holiday gift pack so I could see some of the different ways you can enjoy INKOLOGY at home. With the HP holiday gift pack I found that I could create customized labels. It seems like the closer the holiday gets, the more mailings we have and the greater the need for labels. And the customized recipe cards that I received look amazing. No only do they look amazingly sharp but they are even glossy and printed on quality card stock paper.

A few other options you could choose from:

QR Code Stickers for your blog
Coloring Pages for your kids

Laminated Editorial Calendar Planner
Custom Return Labels (one set would be custom with your mailing address and another would be left blank)
Outbound Labels
Business Mailing Labels
Twitter and Facebook logo signs (with an area for you to write your own username and custom URL) Signs
Custom Letter w/ suggestions on how to use your gift pack

This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to the winner, Angela Winesburg

Luckily last night before it crashed my husband backed everything up. Hmmm.. Almost too convienient.

He’s going to call HP and see what we can do about it. I’m going to hunt down an HP rep if they don’t get it fixed over the phone today, or if they don’t send a new one out to me. I”M SO MAD.

I have three giveaways I need to post.

We have UV Skins http://uvskins.com
We have Caress Body Wash
We have Kinsesys Sun Block giveaway
We have Jet Dry

Sponsors please forgive me for my computer crashing and me failing to meet my deadlines.

Dearest Readers – Thank you for your patience and continuted support. Aloha Friday made me feel very selfish because I haven’t been reading blogs as much as I like and all I was concered about was myself. I’m very grateful for the friendships I have on-line and off.

I’ll be back soon.!!!!!!
