Tips to Keep in Touch

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Without my cell phone, I feel lost.  Yes, I am that person.  

I’m not the only one in my family with this affliction, but it has hit my husband and two oldest children as well.

Hook, line and sinker!  We are sucked in!

When we first started the kids out with cell phones, we did what was the best option for our family, financially at the time and hooked them up with prepaid cell phones.  

Their first phones were nothing fancy, just a little clam shell phone without the bells and whistles.  These days, prepaid phones are just as fancy and nice as those you would get with a cellular carrier that cost a fortune.  Now you can get Android on Straight Talk!

Straight Talk offers cellular service at a reasonable price with NO CONTRACT!  Straight Talk also offers International Long Distance at low rates, giving you the option to Call a friend no matter where they are located!  This would be a great option for my mother in law right now who has been working in the Philippines for the last month.  I think if she goes back again, we might look into getting her a phone so she can call us any time and talk to the kids!!

Straight Talk offers you Everything you need in a cellular plan without the contract and hidden fees!

Learn more about Android on Straight Talk in the video below!

Dear Sperm Donor #1,

It has been over 2 years since you last spoke to my son.
What makes you think you have the right to try and approach him at his football game, with your new fiance (which will make wife #3!) and HER two children?
Seriously, you have some fucking balls!
I am just thankful that the Alex was there to protect HIS (yes, HIS) son, not yours.
It’s your own damn fault that my son has absolutely no desire to speak to you.
You are the one who let him down time and time again with your continuous string of lies.
I would like you to remember July 2010 when you took me and your first ex-wife to court attempting to have us charged with interfering with child custody….do remember that day?
On that day, the court commissioner looked at you and said you had visitation, you didn’t use it, you lost it and she left any future visitation up to me and your first ex-wife.
Do you remember that day?
I do.
In that time, you attempted to make contact twice.
You invited my son fishing and then never followed through on the offer.
Then months and months later, when your aunt died you called the day before her funeral to see if YOU could take my son to the funeral.
Seriously jerkface-you’ve got some balls.
I will tell you one thing, if you ever attempt to go around my back again to make contact with my son, I will hunt you down like a good mother bear who protects her cub and rip apart every last fucking piece of you!

Love,
Anne

Kathryn the Grape’s Colorful Adventure Review & #GIVEAWAY- Ends 10/20

In February, we had the chance to review Kathryn the Grape – Just Like Magic and we loved it. It was such an inspirational story that taught you how to believe in yourself and find the magic within yourself everyday.

On September 21st, Kathryn the Grape’s Colorful Adventure was released. Kathryn the Grape’s Colorful Adventure is a tale that helps children understand how to make their own true colors shine.

My little Libby really related to this book because she is currently that girl with 2 brothers (until her baby sister arrives this winter) who has had to find her own ways to shine within our family.  She has learned to use creativity and imagination to help her find her own place in our world and knows that she is just as special as everyone else.
