I hate having a giant wallet. I fear the giant wallet. So I’ve always bought the smallest women’s wallet known to mankind. And then memorized my loyalty card numbers. Yes, I memorize them.

OK, so it happens. It might be your own fumble fingers, accidentally knocking your cell into the sink of dish water. Or it might be your little one who inadvertently tosses the digital camera into the kiddie pool. The problem? Water + electronic devices = BIG unhappy face.

Being a mom in our generation is a tough gig. As we stumble along the path of motherhood, injuring our backs, sponging the spit-up off our clothes and constantly wondering “What’s that smell?” who do we turn to for parenting advice? Women used to be surrounded by wise experienced grandmothers, aunties and neighbors who showed them the ropes. These days it’s rare for us to have such close-knit communities and this is why a rookie mom needs her comrades. A fellow mom knows best how challenging the role is. A fellow mom understands that many aspects of raising a little one are anxiety-provoking or confusing. Most importantly a fellow mom will offer honest, down-to-earth advice.

But mostly, I manage quite successfully without one and have no plans to leap into the cellular world anytime soon. Suffice it to say though, lack of a cell phone by no means translates to me being “unplugged.”
