I am so EXCITED to be back! I have not been blogging for the past 5 days because my son had surgery-which went horribly wrong- and needed a second surgery. I was scared! But my wonderful readers (YOU) stood by myside and helped me through it. With all of your KIND WORDS, PRAYERS, and PERSONAL EXPERIENCES you shared. You guys will never know how much my whole FAMILY appreciated your support. You helped us get through this!! That is why I am giving away a couple of phones. Why a phone? Because it is something just about EVERYONE uses. It is a way to stay in touch with friends and family or contact 911 in an emergency (just like I had too).

I actually get commission for Amazon purchases if you guys buy stuff of Amazon (through my link). I don’t feel right keeping that money so I am going to use my credits for giveaways!

The Galaxy Note is A new type of smartphone, borne of insight and innovation. It is the ultimate on-the-go device which consolidates core benefits of diverse mobile devices while maintaining smartphone portability. It empowers you with everything you can ever desire so that you can simply, feel free. It is truly smart. Consumer research indicates that people always want to do more tasks much better, even on the go, whether it is web browsing, email, games, or viewing photos and videos. To do all this, consumers carry multiple devices, because each device has unique benefits that work best in a particular situation. Therefore, consumers constantly switch devices to use the right device at the right time. Even for consumers with multiple smart devices, they still carry around a notepad for writing down ideas. There is an emerging desire for a primary device for on-the-go use that could consolidate the core tasks of multiple devices as well as recreate the ease and simplicity of using a pen and paper. The GALAXY Note was created to reflect your desires. The Galaxy Note is a primary device that will minimize the need to switch to other devices while on the go and open up the potential of your mobile experience.
