Apple Pay, Google Wallet, & How to Make Mobile Payments

I have a confession to make and it’s a big one. I’d rather leave home without my purse and wallet than without my cell phone and I’m not at all embarrassed to admit it. It turns out I’m not alone because in a recent U.S. Cellular survey 65% of smartphone users said they never leave […]

Wet Cell Phone Tips & How Silica Gel Can Save a Wet Cell Phone

Have you ever gotten your cell phone wet and then freaked out because you thought it was dead forever and couldn’t be saved? I know I’d feel that way if it ever happened to me because my Samsung Galaxy S7 is pretty much my favorite accessory and living without it for even a few minutes […]

U.S. Cellular MyAnywhere Contest – Win a Trip Anywhere in the U.S.

If you could travel to anywhere in the United States where would you go?

Apps to Cure the Winter Blues & A Teen Cell Phone Contract

I realize we aren’t technically all that far into the winter season yet, but I’m already over it.

Weight Loss Apps & Why My Husband Loves Garmin Connect

With the end of 2015 fast approaching, many people are probably already thinking about their New Year’s resolutions. Have you made a mental list in your head or have you written down any resolutions for 2016? Personally I’m not much for making New Year’s resolutions. Mainly because I don’t always follow through, but also because […]

Fun Apps for No Shave November & Men’s Health Movember

When I first met my husband, over 25 years ago, he had gray hairs that stood out on his head of mostly black locks. I think it bothered him a little since we were only 17 at the time, but there was something about it that I found handsome. Over the years the gray hairs […]

Teenage Drivers, Back to School & A Parent/Child Contract

I don’t know about you, but I can’t believe we’re already three quarters of the way through September! It’s already the first day of Autumn and I’m doing my best to not think too far ahead because we all know that Fall leads to Winter and I simply don’t want to go there until I […]
