This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TracFone for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. It was inevitable. All the kids want their own cell phones. I have FOUR kids. Plus there’s me and my husband. That’s a lot of cell phones, you know that? The husband and I have had [...]

Any of you Gen Xers remember Tron? I always think of that movie when I see these gadgets: I finally figured out what that thing is. It’s a Bluetooth headset! I am a computer whiz, but when it comes to cell phones and mp3 players and all that “little” gadgetry, I’ve never been very interested. [...]
