It's no secret that I am a techie at heart. I really enjoy tinkering with all of my electronic devices and my two favorite have to be my smartphone and my tablet. As a matter of fact, I rely so much on my smartphone that I totally freaked out last weekend when I thought my son had lost it at the auto dealership when I allowed him to play with it. I cannot even begin to describe to you how much of my personal and professional business is on that smartphone. Losing it would have been a nightmare of epic proportions. My tablet is always with me as well. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise, after all, I am a blogger. I sometimes have to jump on my tablet during my lunch break at work to respond to client emails and even post to my social media accounts. It would be such a convenience if I could somehow combine these two devices to take advantage of everything that I love about both of them simultaneously. ASUS Computers has beaten me to the punchline and has … [Read more...]

Cortana Gives Busy Super Moms Everywhere A Helping Hand! #Lumia #Giveaway @NokiaUS
I'm not going to lie, even I need a helping hand from time to time. Although I don't like to admit it, there is only a certain amount of time in the day to get everything done and I'm only one person. Today I'm feeling especially overwhelmed because it is only Monday and my whole week is already booked with things that need to get done. I often think how wonderful it would be if I could clone myself or, at the very least, hire an assistant to help me out from time to time. As a matter of fact, the closest thing that I have to an assistant is my smartphone. The Nokia Lumia 635 smartphone comes equipped with Microsoft's digital assistant Cortana. Not only does she have a cool name but talking to her is almost like having a human conversation. Her capabilities include being able to set reminders for you to remember to pick up dinner, track flight departure and arrival times, send messages, share weather forecasts with you, and even answer all your questions.

I control every aspect of my life, work, and business from my phone and all of my important information is saved on it in order to facilitate all of the work that I do with it. Protecting myself in the event of a mobile mishap never really occurred to me until a couple of years ago when something unthinkable happened to my phone. My husband and I attended a gathering that was scheduled at a local lounge by some of my co-workers to celebrate before going on Christmas vacation. We spent a few hours there and headed home after having a great time. While we were on the highway, I decided to call my mother to check on my sons since she was baby-sitting for us. After speaking to her I placed my phone on my lap and didn't think about it again. Fast forward to a couple of hours later after we had already been home for awhile...I … [Read more...]
