Save Money Without Sacrificing Quality on Unlimited Phone Plans w/#FamilyMobileSaves #shop

walmartmobile

If you recall, a few weeks ago I went to Walmart and bought the activation kit for Walmart's Family Mobile program.  I set aside my iPhone and started putting my new myTouch to work.  We all want to save money.  We all have cell phones (or want them).  We ALL want the BEST deal possible.    My reasons for trying the Walmart Family Mobile program was the unlimited plan, one of the lowest price rate plans that I could find, and I wanted to see how the service compared to my existing Verizon … [Read more...]

We are a "heart" conscious family. With a child born with a heart defect, a husband with high blood pressure, and myself with an ever-expanding waistline (which isn't good for the heart)....we're conscious!

EPIC movie

  It's a sunny afternoon in northern Nevada, and I'm sitting on the patio in a lounge chair.  I can feel the sun beating on my face while I adjust my sunglasses to see my romance novel more clearly.  In the background, I hear the birds chirping, squirrels jumping from tree to tree, and faint sounds of lawn mowers in the distance of yards blocks away.  SERIOUSLY...I'm totally dreaming!  It's late afternoon, and I have a million things to do before 6:00.  Run to Sam's Club, feed my … [Read more...]

(WHAT?!?!)  We NEED unlimited Plans...we need the BEST … [Read more...]
