I’m the only girl in an all-male household.
My four sons and husband love new technology. For years they’d pout on long car trips when I’d make them unplug to look out the window. They’d grunt and grab the remote out of my hand when I’d complain, “I can’t even turn on the TV!” They’d chuckle at the dinner table when I’d ask how to work my new phone.
When it comes to technology, here is my personal point of view (and I think many of you may relate): New technology is happening at the speed of light. Unnecessary new products (and copycat items) are invented at the speed of sound. You and me? Dust in the wind.
But sometimes, enough is enough.
Simpler is better. That’s what I’ve been doing for the past six years with my music site Valslist.com. We do everything for you so you don’t have to know how. We keep up with the newest artists. We hand-pick the best new music. We create playlists we think you need for workout, for your nap, for your car. I’m a mom-music person. I’ll take care of you.
Here’s a brand-new playlist I think you’ll like, called “A Getaway.”
