Cell Phone Courtesy Month & Practicing Cell Phone Etiquette

Did you know that July is National Cell Phone Courtesy month? I mean, I’d like to think we all practice cell phone courtesy every month of the year, but every now and then it’s good to be reminded that consideration should always come first when using your favorite mobile device. I know since getting my […]

Teachers and Coaches & Impacting Students’ Lives

I’ve already talked about how thrilled I was that Nick decided to join the high school track team this past spring, but it turns out I left out one of the most important reasons. I can still remember a few of my own high school experiences, both good and bad, and some of them involved really […]

U.S.Cellular’s Parent/Child Agreement & A Child’s First Cell Phone

A Child’s First Cell Phone A few years ago when my husband and I considered getting Nick his first mobile phone there were several things that we considered. First and foremost was whether or not he really needed a cell phone or if it was more of a want. Quite honestly, I’m a little surprised […]

Running in the Rain Isn’t as Bad as I Thought

I love to run, I really do, but I’m what one might refer to as a fair-weather runner. I pretty much plan my runs according to the weather and if it is less than desirable I end up on my treadmill, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing since it faces the television and I get […]

‘Playing House’ Review – A Fun New Comedy on USA Network

When it comes to television shows, a really good comedy will always be my favorite, but the problem is that there are very few great shows that can make me (and my entire family) laugh for nearly thirty minutes at a time. Recently I was introduced to the new USA Network show Playing House and I […]

Helping the Homeless – One Reason I Love Mitscoots Socks

I know it might not seem like the most exciting topic, but can we please talk about socks for a minute (or five)? I love socks! I think they are a fun way to express yourself and show off your personality, which is why I own several pairs, some with stripes and some with polka […]

The Reasons I’m Thrilled Nick Joined the High School Track Team

I love nothing more than to watch my kids doing stuff. They could be playing a musical instrument in a school concert, smiling on a ride at Walt Disney World, or competing in a sport. I don’t really care as long as I can be there to witness as many events in their lives as […]

Military Appreciation Month & U.S. Cellular iPhone 5s Giveaway

Even though it has been over 20 years since Paul’s military service I can still remember how difficult it was to be apart from him when he was in the Navy, especially when he was deployed. Back then we didn’t have tablets or smartphones, so if I wasn’t home when he called I had to […]

Something Magical Happened in Walt Disney’s Apartment

When I received an invitation to the 2014 Disney Social Media Moms Celebration a few months ago my first thought was gratitude. Actually, gratitude is an understatement. I was overcome with emotion because I know how special that invite is and even though it was my third time receiving it I still felt an enormous […]

Tips to Go Green on Earth Day & U.S. Cellular’s Trade-In Program

I consider myself a pretty “green” person. As a matter of fact it’s the reason I started blogging several years ago. While I’m certainly not the greenest person you’ll ever meet, I’d like to think I do my part by recycling, carrying a reusable water bottle, and buying very little paper products. There is certainly […]
