Choices, Choices, Choices: Evaluating the Family Budget

Every so often, I sit down and evaluate our family budget.  Some expenses are fixed and necessary, but many expenses can be reduced or eliminated.  Earlier this year, we switched our home phone service to Ooma, thereby drastically reducing our bill.  (We weren't quite brave enough to stop home service completely.)  


We also switched our wireless phone plan, but I'm thinking that we are still paying more than necessary, so I've been researching various cell phone providers this morning. There are so many options, and I've realized that the vastness of the choices is immobilizing me from action.  So, before I go back to crunching numbers, I thought I'd publish this blog post and ask for your input--because although I can find plenty of testimonials online, it's always good to hear from real people!

 What cell phone provider do you use?  Are you happy with your service and cost; would you recommend them?

    We use T-Mobile. I made the switch from Verizon a number of years ago because Jenna had T-Mobile and she was the person I called the most and back then it was free to call someone on the same network. I don't know if that really matters anymore but it sure did back then. Overall I am pretty happy with the service but I have to say when I went to Michigan a few years ago the service was terrible. I know you travel to Utah often so that could make a difference. Good luck in your search!

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
