This was my digital foot print according to EMC’s digital footprint tool at 10am ET today. As I type this post, 4 1/2 hours later, at 2:30pm ET, my digital footprint has increased to 342, 646,507,000…and counting! That’s consistent with the 25k increase per hour we say during the podcast earlier.

How many screens are you plugged into each day? I added up my screen use recently and was up to 4 by 10am: my iPhone, TV for the morning news, my laptop and a satellite computer monitor plugged into my laptop.
It’s here again…high school graduation season. That annual rite of passage for high schoolers coast to coast to embark upon that much anticipated journey from home to that first true independent step outside the safety net of their childhood homes and communities.
Do you have a technology participation gap in your family? We do. In fact, most families do somewhere.
For us, we have a few older relatives who firmly believe that technology is for “the younger generation”. What’s interesting is that some of these people are not that old, at least not “old” as I definite it.
I recent had 2 weeks nearly unplugged, including some unplugged time with my kids – and survived! Tune into to hear about my ups, downs and lessons learned.
The massive recall last weekend of some of the most popular medications is unsettling, disturbing and concerning. Thankfully, it was done as a precautionary move before any child was harmed and there are generic alternatives of all the medications recalled, at sufficient supply.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms in the world!

Living unplugged. Pre-broadband I used to do it all the time. In fact, it’s how we all lived. Post-broadband, it’s been exceptionally rare. Post-cell phone, iPhone especially, no way! For the better part of the past 2 weeks, though, that’s exactly what I’ve managed to do…and it’s been wonderful!
I have two toddler daughters , a two year old and a three year old. We recently started potty training both of them and to our amazement they just took to it for pee but poop has been a different story. We also have three older boys and didn’t have these issues – they were able to potty train for both poop and pee very easily at the same time.
