Take a Mom Selfie (Giveaway)

It's time to up your #momselfie game with a new FREE phone!

Let's be honest: unless you sent your spouse/baby daddy a link to my Mother's Day gift guide, you're probably going to be getting a gift that you don't actually want, if you get a gift at all.  Thankfully after almost ten years together, the Hubs has learned to always provide me with a gift receipt, because he knows that nothing makes a wife happier than basically buying her own present.

Just in case your Husband has not yet learned to ask you point blank what you want, or if he forgets to make sure to include a gift receipt, I'm here to give you something you might be really excited to receive: a NEW HTC 10 phone!!  Like, actually new.  We're talking in the package, sparkly, unmolested-by-children new.  And not "new to you", like your last phone, which was a hand-me-down from the Hubs when his work upgraded their phones.

In conjunction with the launch of the HTC 10 and Mother's Day, I'm hosting a fantastic contest in which I'm giving away two HTC 10 prize packages that include a new phone, a bunch of accessories, and a case.

The new HTC 10 phone launches tomorrow, May 5th, and it has all these fancy features including high res audio (for when you're pumping Baby Beluga) and a super high-tech camera with faster auto focus, 12 million ultrapixels and image stabilization on both the front and rear cameras.  Sounds amazing for when you're trying to capture that Insta-perfect shot of the kiddos, amiright?  It turns out these features are also ideal for capturing an incredible selfie, which is what I'm all about this Mother's Day.

Too often as Moms we get lost behind the camera.  Whether it's because we didn't have a chance to shower this week and think we don't look good, or because we're too busy snapping shots of our littles, I fear that many of our children are going to have a hard time remembering what their Mom actually looked like because there aren't any photos!  So, no more excuses: grab yourself and your kid(s) as well as any other Moms, Grandmas, Step-Mothers, Mothers-in-Law and anyone else in your life who wears a "Mom" hat, and come take a Mom and Me selfie for a chance to win.

Here's how it works:

1.  Come and see me at the Verizon Store on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica TOMORROW, Thursday May 5th between 10:30am - 12:30pm.  I'll be there with Rose taking lots of selfies.

2.  Take a selfie as a Mom, with your Mom, or for your Mom, and share it on your social media channels with the hashtags #momandmevzLA #HTC10 #verizon

3.  I'll pick the winner of the HTC 10 prize package.  I love funny captions, silly selfies and sweet babies, so if you're bringing that, you've got a good chance of going home a winner.

Even if you don't win a phone, I promise we'll have a good time.  I may even bring homemade cookies, but you'll never know if you don't show up.  Good luck, and Happy Mother's Day!
