One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Because of Verizon, I am Now a Part of the "In Crowd" (#VZWVoices #Mom)

I am participating in the Verizon Moms Voices program and have been provided with a wireless device and six months of service in exchange for my honest opinions about the product.   


As you know, Verizon selected me to be a “Verizon Wireless Voices Ambassador”. It’s been a great opportunity because I’ve gotten to try out a couple Verizon devices. The first was a Samsung Tab. I have enjoyed my tab. It has made me more efficient by allowing me to maximize my time. It has bought me time by entertaining my toddler while I do the laundry and occasionally blog. It has also helped me stay more connected to social media by giving me unlimited internet access wherever I go.

In a word, the tab has been cool. And if it was the only perk that I received for being a “Verizon Wireless Voices Ambassador” I'd be happy.

The Second Device We Received, The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 



Last night I watched the American Music Awards and learned that because of my affiliation with Verizon I am now rocking technology like LeBron James who is in a great commercial for Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Forget being like Mike. That’s old school. I now have the hottest device being marketed by the hottest NBA star and potentially in all of sports right now.  Gotta love the doors that blogging has opened up for me!
So, you’re probably wondering, “does the device live up to the hype?” The answer is “yes and then some.” It is the perfect combination of a phone and a tablet. The ability to call and have the functionality of a tablet definitely gives the iPad mini a run for it's money. It is large enough to allow you to read documents and watch movies without squinting. Yet, it is Small enough to slip into your purse without weighing you down. It looks damned cool. It also takes the clearest pictures I have ever seen!
One of the coolest things about having the device, other than rolling like my dog LeBron, is that iPhone users comment all of the time about how much they love it. I guess, I have actually transcended cool. Instead of being in the in crowd, I have become that chick with the hottest toy.
Thanks Verizon!
