Nothing! Absolutely nothing happened.<\/p>\n

Sorry for the “catchy-title” but in today’s day and age, where it seems like our cell phones are an extension of our body, it’s sometimes crazy to think that we would leave the house without one.<\/p>\n

\"Tape

Tape is for effect, but it’s not far from the truth!<\/p><\/div>\n

We were short on diapers and a few other essentials (Cheerios, Star Wars band aids… you know, the important stuff), so when my parents were over, I took advantage of their time here and decided to venture out on my own (a rarity for me as a stay at home to three young boys). While I said my good-byes to my five and three year old, I tried to sneak out without Nate, my 16 month old, noticing. He’s in a very clingy phase and I just thought it would be easier. So as I headed for the door, I realized that my cell phone was across the room, all the way on the other side of the main floor. Do I risk being seen by Nate? I just headed straight out the door and\u00a0didn’t look back.<\/p>\n

And you know what? I survived! Not only that, but I remembered my entire shopping list by heart (using my brain\u00a0no less). I was able to concentrate without any distractions and truly enjoy my “alone” time. I even treated myself to some Starbucks and had meaningful conversations with random people (part of my 2016 resolutions).<\/p>\n

\"Cell

Cell phones are handy – for family pictures!<\/p><\/div>\n

Granted I was out only for one hour but I “survived” and it actually felt good. Sure, our cell phones are great for emergencies but they’re really just for convenience. I mean, we don’t really need to be connected 24\/7 which is what I do since I’m slightly addicted to my cell phone. I’m not going to lie, it’s probably not going to be a regular occurrence, but it’s nice to know I could manage without it, even if just for an hour.<\/p>\n

You can usually find me behind my smart phone<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
