In June, our family celebrated a milestone that I’ve been anticipating all year…we officially have a teenager in the house!

I’ll be honest; I’ve been nervous about my oldest son Zack’s teen years for a while now. From worrying about peer pressure to dealing with mood swings to paying for the sudden increase in our grocery bill, teenagers bring their own unique challenges to a household.

But managing my son’s cell phone use is one aspect of teen life that won’t bring me any extra stress at all, thanks to TELUS! The company knows that life with teenagers has enough challenges, so they’ve put together several new programs designed to make managing a family’s wireless use easier than ever before.

March break is here and for many families, that means a trip across the border for a quick vacation or journey to visit family. In fact, one in four Canadians plan to escape winter by taking a trip down south. I love popping down to the United States for a few days of shopping, entertainment or sight-seeing, but I also want to share those moments with family and friends back home.
