Droid Detox

Jeremiah gives me the smart-phone hookup at the Verizon store in Miami’s Aventura Mall. If you know me at all, you know I love my smart phone. Don’t care about cars, TVs or video games, but I take my smart phones very seriously. I got the first generation Droid for myself last Christmas, a life-changing [...]

Working Mom’s Product Spotlight

Tela here, and I’ve decided to create a Working Mom’s product spotlight, detailing products that make a working mom’s life easier.

If you’re not already in the Twittersphere, Twitter allows you to share your life’s happenings and thoughts in short bursts (140 characters or [...]

Kid Stuff You Can Enjoy Guilt-Free

Shortly before Little One was born, somebody gave us a CD of children’s music for a shower gift. I popped it into the car stereo on the way home and almost had a panic attack. The stuff on that CD was so banal and horrid and sappy – would having a child mean having to [...]
