Christmas Already?!

I hate to say it but I was seriously peeved when I walked into Target the day after Halloween and the Christmas decorations were up and the toy department was bursting with new gadgets, gizmos and baby dolls. I so wanted to enjoy the next 3 weeks looking forward to Thanksgiving celebrations. But now I’ve been infected with the holiday buzz and I have to admit my heart started beating faster, I broke out in a little sweat (although could that have anything to do with my fast approaching 40th birthday?)and I started making lists in my head about what to get for my family. First on my list? A cell phone for my daughter so I can have mine back! She doesn’t need a lot of talk minutes but I figured out 11 year olds text - a lot!

Luckily, my homework was done earlier this year when someone introduced me to kajeet. I am a Personal Chef by trade and my income drops dramatically during the summer months when my clients vacation. I was casually looking for a way to bring in a little money but still be able to enjoy my summer with my kiddos. I was at a networking event when another guest mentioned she was a Mom Sales Team member for a kids cell phone service called kajeet. I was slightly interested in a cell phone for my daughter because I knew it was coming. She was entering middle school and between volleyball, girl scouts, math lab, the musical etc., etc., I knew it would make my life easier if she were able to reach me to tell me she needed a ride or was going home with a friend. But, I still wasn’t sold on the idea of getting her a phone of her own - she's only 11 for goodness sake! More importantly I saw it as an easy way to make some money - maybe I wasn’t ready to commit to a cell phone for my kid yet but plenty of parents in my circle were! Why not join the team and introduce them to a service they could trust. Kajeet is a pay as you go phone (aka prepaid). Almost 40% of kids between 8 and 12 get pay as you go phone service. Parents like this type of service because they can be assured of no surprise bills. There are no long term contracts or termination fees. And FREE parental controls that let you decide when the phone can and can't be used. Only accept the calls and texts you want and block the ones you don't. You create separate allowances to decide who pays for what, you or your kid. Kajeets basic plan costs $4.99 with service you control at 10 cents per minute and 10 cents per text. And, for kids that are communicating a little bit more you can get unlimited text messaging and 150 voice minutes for just $19.99. Optional GPS phone locating service is just $9.99 a month with any phone.
My daughter is busier than ever and often takes my phone with her to her activities. The problem with that? One day I forgot she had my phone and I ran to the grocery store. While I was gone she called home to say she was ready to be picked up but I wasn’t there. She panicked a little but another mom offered to bring her home. After the grocery store I went to school to get her. Imagine my panic when I couldn’t find her! So now the time has come! In fact, she may be getting her Christmas present a little earlier than expected! If the decorations in the stores put you in the holiday mood and you have a teen/tween ready for a phone go to my website at http://www.kajeet.com/michele and take 15% off any phone kajeet offers. You and your child will be glad you did!
