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
June 30, 2014 · by · 1 Comment
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
