  • #ad Fun fact: A recent Motel 6 survey revealed that many of us need a break from family after just four hours together during the holidays. One in four admit to actually hiding in their relative’s house for a precious moment alone! 😂

I mean, let’s be honest. 🙋🏻‍♀️ if you’ve lingered in the bathroom for a few extra moments just to escape the crazy. 🤪 I know I have!

While I’m thankful for being able to spend time with family, Thanksgiving is always a bit stressful for us. In addition to having a large family get-together in the desert, my son’s birthday 🎂 is also on the 29th of November so we have the added crazy of celebrating a birthday in the midst of managing roasting turkeys 🦃 and baking pies 🥧 . 
Birthdays that fall close to holidays sometimes get lost in the shuffle. 😢 This year we escaped the craziness to a nearby @Motel6 and enjoyed some one-on-one time to make sure my little guy felt special on his big day. (Not gonna lie - the peace and quiet was nice too!! 🤫) Motel 6 was the perfect choice for our budget-friendly little mini staycation 🤗. We had everything we needed to play games, enjoy the sunshine ☀️ , daydream about where we’ll travel 🧳 to next, perfect our bed jumping skills and build the best blanket forts ever 🤘🏼. What about you? How do you find your moment alone at Thanksgiving?  #ThanksgivingwithMotel6

  • AD: The ROKit iO Pro 3D (at just $299.99) is creating a lot of buzz from reviewers and gadget geeks…and not necessarily positive buzz. Everyone is fixated on the 3D aspect of the device, which is not only impressive, but also a completely glass-less experience. But once you get over the initial “wow” factor - everyone asks, well now what?
.
.
And this is where I feel most tech-focused reviewers are missing the point of this lineup of affordable phones from ROKiT. The creators wanted to not only come up with a device that was in line with today’s technology, but they also wanted to better people’s lives…in a REAL meaningful way. This is why ROKiT offers the world’s first smartphone complete with the ROK Life Services plan: a bundle offering access to a doctor on the phone, discounted pharmaceuticals, roadside assistance, family legal services, insurance (accidental death, burial, and identity theft), and international calls to any phone.
.
.
After spending a few days experiencing the ROKiT iO Pro 3D first hand, I can wholeheartedly agree that this phone is not for everyone. But it does definitely offer some life bettering services that you won’t get with any other phone. As a matter of fact, I’ve even come up with a list of 3 Reasons You’d Want to Reconsider the ROKiT iO Pro 3D. See my newest blog post (link in bio).
