Celebrating Reyes Magos with #Net10Latino

My family celebrated Three Kings Day (Dia de los Reyes Magos) when I was a kid.  My husband's family didn't.  On our neverending quest to make traditions that work for our family - We sat down and I told them the beautiful story about The Three Wise Men following the star to Bethlehem arriving with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh for Baby Jesus.

It had been about 27 long years since I actually celebrated Three Kings Day but I vaguely remember that my huge family would have their nativity sets out since Christmas and would do the novena every night till January 6th.  We would attend Mass on the 6th, have brunch at Ma's house (my great grandma) and there would be little plastic stockings with candy and cheap toys for all the kids.  I loved being around our huge family, those were the best memories.

Since our children are multicultural, I researched Dia de los Reyes Magos from my husband's Mexican heritage and found that kids write a letter to The Three Wise Men and leave their shoes out on the 5th and on the morning of the 6th, their shoes are filled with gifts!  How precious!  We decided that we wouldn't celebrate the traditional Mexican way this year but there is hope for next year!

This year we celebrated with old friends who are like family to us.  We ate good food and shared many laughs!  After all, it is all about creating memories with family!

Of course I have to take photos for Instagram, check-in on Foursquare, peek at my Facebook and check my email and Twitter!  Net10 makes it easy!  With Net10 Wireless, you get to call the shots and get the good stuff, including exceptional service.  Because you're not locked into a contract, you can change phones or plans whenever you want with no penalties.

Net10 Family Talk Plans Are What This Family Needs!

I really enjoyed having Net10 Wireless service for a few months this Summer... It went with me to New Orleans for the Niche Mommy Conference, Las Vegas for Blogalicious and hung out with me at Disneyland & Knott's Berry Farm.  The LG Optimus Net on Net10 Wireless was perfect in every way. It kept me connected - no dropped calls, always kept me connected so I could upload pictures to Instagram, share thoughts on Twitter and check-in on Facebook.  Being extremely satisfied with their service, great plans and no contracts - I just had to look into their family plans for the rest of the family.

I have 2 teenagers and an almost 7 year old thats going on 17.  Unlimited data and text is mandatory for all of us and $90 for a 2 line family plan is easy on my wallet.  We decided to get Duke a test phone because sometimes I'm on work calls and he wants to talk to our family in Texas.  He also loves taking pictures and making videos.  I set up the LG 800G ($49.99) for him and he already started sending me texts.      

Net10 Wireless is great for families - this is how the new Family Talk Plans work:
The first line is $50 for unlimited data, text and talk; each additional line is just $40.
  • 2 line family plan: $90 for unlimited nationwide data, text, talk, 411

  • 3 line family plan: $130 for unlimited nationwide data, text, talk, 411

  • 4 line family plan: $170 for unlimited nationwide data, text, talk, 411
With Net10 Wireless there are no contracts, credit checks, activation charges or cancellation fees to worry about.  Simply buy a phone and purchase any one of several airtime or monthly plans.
