There’s nothing more relaxing than sitting at the river front taking in the beauty of Montana. I took my sidekick Beth, the founder of Techmamas.com, with me to film this episode for Sony. Little did we know that Paws Up Ranch would be the next biggest love of our lives. It was more than eye candy it was heart melting. We will never forget how joyful it was to watch our children roam the land with their walkie talkies, riding horses, shooting bow and arrows, and having an unforgettable chuck wagon dinner.

We filmed on this beautiful property to feature the newest cyber-shot HX 20V. This particular pocket sized camera has a 40x zoom lens which blew away my camera man, because i was able to photograph an eagle’s face with this tiny little camera. It’s hard to believe that Beth and I who are two very techie mamas could unwind and unplug for any period of time. We did it and we are so appreciative that we were able to experience the luxury of Paws Up Ranch and of capturing our memories on the new cyber-shot HX 20V.

It’s no secret that I (@TheGoToMom) love to ski. Each year we travel to many different states to find the perfect filming location for our Sony sponsored shows. This year we choose Beaver Creek Colorado because of it’s family-friendly resort feel. The resort came together and provided the perfect agenda for us to ensure that the kids experienced all the mountain had to offer. And boy did they LOVE our trip. No vacation is complete, of course with out my stash of Sony cameras and handycams! So glad I brought the Sony cyber-shot TX20 – it’s not only waterproof and freeze proof but you can drop it and no harm no fowl. Perfect for when your little ones want to use it and you know the inevitable drop is bound to happen! The Osprey at Beaver Creek offers an unforgettable family vacation by creating a modern, luxury hotel experience unlike any other you’ll find in Colorado. They gave us a 4 day complimentary stay which delighted the kids and me. The food at he hotel was so good, especially their bread/fried wrapped asparagus! We went tubing and ice skating and shopped for next year’s ski wear in the village. But I have to say, riding up in the CAT snow plow at NIGHT to BEANOS restaurant/cabin was truly the highlight, it was so fun to be truck up in that big ‘ol machine on the snow at night! With a lift literally right outside our front door, it was so easy to get the kids off to ski school and for mama to hit the slopes.With Elegant amenities, exceptional service, and ski in/out lifts, we’ll be sure to come back for years to come! The staff at Vail Resorts were so accommodating and wonderful.

It was a pleasure to head over to Mariel’s home in Malibu to get a glimpse at how she lives. I cuddled with her white cat and pet her two doggies as the camera crew set up. I couldn’t wait to show her my new Sony Cyber-shot, as she is a healthy life style advocate and I knew she needed a camera to showcase her craft.

She says, “Creating a healthier body and mind allows us to do more and live a longer, more vibrant and meaningful life. It is my belief that the choices we make, the information we seek, and the food we eat are integral to our well-being.”

Mariel has written books about life, yoga, nutrition and well-being including a cookbook. She has created a company called Mariel’s Kitchen in order to share her passion for living a healthy, happy life. Through making positive, intentional choices about food, movement, home, and silence, she has found her center and balance.

Sometimes you have to fight for what you believe in. And this @TheGoToMom loves her Sony NEX. Afterall it’s the one of the world’s smallest interchangeable lens cameras. And @LaJollaMom challenges her by spouting off that the Cyber-shot has a built in ‘photo-shop’ option called, “soft skin.” We moms love that soft focus feature! Which camera do you prefer? We want to know.
