{Product Review} Mosaic Photo Album App

I will snap pictures for Instagram, and share them on Twitter, and other social media sites all day long on my phone. The major disconnect lies in me actually doing something with those memories that I capture daily. I mean, my kids can’t do anything with those super cute pictures when they get older unless they still have access to my iPhone or Instagram account.

 Mosaic knows all about people like us me. Using this photo book app you can easily transfer your favorite photos from your phone into a photo album that you can have and share with friends and family.

Even though technology makes it easy for us to document beautiful moments in our lives, it’s nice to have an object that you can actually hold in your hands. Creating the book is extremely easy.All you have to do is download the free app and plug your photos into the album.

Pay that cracked screen no mind. See the app?

Through the app you can create the album, pay for it, and set your location details for shipping. You don’t have to go through the process of importing photos to your computer or a USB device, making it a great option for moms who want to capture your memories but don’t have a lot of extra time to devote to making a photo album.

My experience with Mosaic was highly positive and I would definitely recommend it to all of my friends and family. There was no messing around. The shipping was fast and I got exactly what I was expecting; high quality images that were beautifully packaged.

Here are some photos of my Mosaic album:

It’s graduation season!

Tassel switching and hat tossing has begun. For the next few weeks some of us will have the honor of watching individuals we know complete their educational journeys. Some will be moving on to college while others will be taking their first career steps. While some step forward with certainty on what is coming next and others are still figuring it out one thing is for sure, they will need to be reached by phone. College, as well as moving into “the real world”  is expensive enough, the unlimited talk text and data/web with the Walmart Family Mobile plan is a service that will save parents and new grads a few dollars.

Last week my cousin graduated from college, and although she currently has a cell phone that she uses for pleasure I thought it would be a great idea to get her a WFM that she could use strictly for business purposes. Professionalism goes a long way and as she is looking for a job I thought it wouldn’t hurt for her to have a phone dedicated to business. Having a dedicated phone number to go on her resume will ensure that she knows every call that comes on that line is about a job or professional opportunity and she’ll know to promptly answer those calls in a professional manner. Outside of a college graduate, for those family members sending loved ones off to college this summer or in the fall WFM is also an excellent option.

Found in the electronics section of my local Walmart, it was super convenient for me to pick up the phone and the starter pack I needed to activate the phone.

Unlike other phones of this kind, I love that the service is provided through T-Mobile’s nationwide network ensuring that service is widely available. In the past, services of this kind have offered phones that just kind of looked like they weren’t attached to a contract…you feel me? Not with WFM, the Samsung GALAXY Exhibit mirrors the looks of other cell phones so that grad in your life won’t feel like their phone isn’t up to par in the aesthetics department.

Here are a few other benefits of the Family Mobile plan:

  • No annual contract, no credit check, and no deposit
  • One bill for all your lines each month
  • Live customer support 7 days a week
  • No overage charges. Ever.

I was in and out in all of 20 minutes purchasing the phone and getting some help from the Walmart #FamilyMobile expert in the department.

For just $40 a month for unlimited talk, text and data/web my cousin is all set  to get on the job hunt. I’m sure her pockets will thank me later once she lands her dream job!  When it’s time to give gifts think about a gift that will keep on giving, once she lands that job she can use this phone for a plethora of other reasons. The versatility of Walmart Family Mobile Plans is endless.

I’m a Sprint Mom + HTC One Max Smartphone Giveaway

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Sprint. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and to thank me for participating.”

Hey there!

Hope your weekend was well. Mine was eventful but that is another post for another day. Today I am proud to announce that for the next 10 months I will be participating in the Sprint Ambassador program and will be bringing you  the scoop on Sprint devices and services.

For the past two years I have been a devout iPhone girl, and was leery of making the switch so I am looking forward to trying out new devices and sharing my true feelings and thoughts  with all of you who are just as scared as I am of trying something new. I have been a Sprint customer since 1999. I’ve never stepped out or cheated. I’ve been down since Sprint PCS days and I don’t ever think I’ll change my service provider. I love Sprint for a number of reasons one being the affordable plans and my unlimited data. If you saw how much data I used in a month. Ridiculous.

framily plan

While we were in Miami a few weeks ago my husband dropped and broke his phone and before we could sit down for dinner we found ourselves in a Sprint store. After a few questions we ended up placing my husband, stepdaughter and a few other family members on the framily plan. I am out of the “framily” circle because I have need of unlimited data while the rest of them use minimal data making this plan a great option for them. Now there is an option that allows unlimited data for an additional $20 month, I will likely be welcomed into the framily soon!

Our phone bill was nearly $200 and with the switch we are saving nearly $70 a month by switching. Here are a few of the standout details regarding the framily plan

  • Up to 10 friends, family, neighbors, employees, or just about anyone can join a Framily
  • The bigger the Framily, the bigger the savings
  • Separate bills, no annual service
  • Unlimited talk, text and 1GB of data each, while on the Sprint network
  • contracts, no early termination fees

For a limited time, new customers who bring their number to Sprint and sign up for a Sprint Framily Plan can receive up to $300 in credit  for their current phone and a Visa® Prepaid Card worth up to $350 to cover switching fees. This offer is available exclusively at Sprint stores and online at Sprint.com from April 4 – May 8.

What better way to enjoy the framily plan than with a new phone! I’m giving away an HTC One Max Smartphone

The HTC One Max smartphone offers users a massive screen with a 5.9 inch display and amped speakers for watching videos or viewing pictures on the go.  The feature rich camera offers users the ability to take photos with a fun, artisitic flair, and gives users news recommendations based on likes on social media, for breaking news that matters most to them.
