Tracking Teenage Drivers
Posted on: September 4, 2013
Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday
*
As the mother of a teenage driver I am always on pins and needles every time he grabs his keys and leaves the house. There is just so much they can learn in a classroom setting and even with the mandatory driving hours that are required with a Graduated License, once they are on the road alone it can become a life or death situation.
Some teenagers are extremely careful and patient drivers, others not so much and unfortunately I have the latter. I’ve explained to him that driving is a privilege and he should remain ever vigilant when he’s behind the wheel. There are just too many RIP Markers on the sides of the road and a few of you know that I lost my sister in a car accident on September 14th 1992.
I have argued, nagged and yelled at him to drive slowly and also threatened him with the loss of his car, keys and driving privileges if ever stopped for speeding.
.
It goes in one ear and out the other and so I think the time has come for more drastic measures. Hubby brought home information from the website Teen Tracking, a plug and play GPS monitoring system and I am seriously considering buying one.
According to the website The Big Brother GPS Locator/Tracker “allows parents to keep a close eye on their new teen drivers. Notifications on speed and boundary violations. Easy 2-wire installation. Installs under dash for covert operation. PoweredbyGPS® technology.” The cost is hefty but the piece of mind is priceless and definitely cheaper than the increase to our monthly car insurance rates!

Has anyone purchased this Teen Tracking monitor or is there another GPS Tracker that you would suggest?

OOTD – Warm Up Wednesday
Posted on: January 30, 2013
Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday
Today it’s warm yet foggy due to the increase in temps making the morning commute a little slow. There were several fender benders on 95N, one of which was almost mine, however, my Guardian Angel shielded me from it making it a near miss.
You may remember when I purchased this outfit from Boscov’s (here), but it’s the first time that I’ve worn it. This evening is my son’s Open House, and depending on traffic I may not have time to change clothes. I wanted to wear something that would be comfortable enough to take me from work to walking the halls of a High School.
What do you think of this “from the office to the halls of high school” attire?
Wearing the green pair of Mossimo embellished flats from Target and necklace from a Flea Market Vendor.
Green stone accent ring and watch from Avon.
Linking up today with Transatlantic Blonde , STYLELIXIR and All Things Alisa – hop on over and meet a few new bloggers
Have a fantabulous afternoon – Smooches!
