Connect on the Run!
This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Sprint
Most of you know by this point that I have been a momspotter for the past few months. Having to tweet a few times a day with the #momspotting hashtag about how I use technology in my day-to-day parenting life has caused me to take stock of how I do use technology to keep my life organized. I am a mom on the run and need and WANT to be connected with my kids.
Sprint has been a big part of that over the past few months-between a smart phone and a Sprint 4g card-I can work from anywhere. I can get an email from a child about a schedule change. I can then enter it into my calendar. I have that calendar synched between computers and drop a note to the children’s other parents-then they put it on their calendar.
I can tweet from a child’s event…or even from events without children. I can share pictures of anything with any of my family members-no matter what carrier they use. I can track down internet recipes while standing in the grocery store. No recipe? Texting someone at home can let me know if we do really need milk. Or I can keep a running list on a computer and synched on the netbook-which fits ever so nicely in the top of the shopping cart or if I carried one in a purse.
It is all fast and easy-and very simple to connect from anywhere. You know that dead spot inside the high school? The part of the building cell phones never work in? I was able to use my computer with 4 g card while waiting for a school concert to start-since the child had to be there an hour before concert start time but there was no point in driving back and forth. I could visit my sister in the assisted living facility and show her things online and order them-rather than her getting a stack of catalogs and circling things she wanted.
There are so many ways that being connected and paying attention to that connection has changed our life in the past few months-many for the better.
