#SomosFiOS: 6 Reasons Staying Connected Keeps Me Going

Just a few weeks ago, I gave birth to a healthy, beautiful baby boy and took time off to connect with my little guy while keeping the connection with my four year old intact.  

During the time leading up to his birth, I slept less and worked more. Not knowing what to expect with becoming a mom of two, how my older son would react/adjust to having to share the spotlight, staying on top of my freelance business and fitting my personal life into it all was clearly going to be challenging.  But thanks to Verizon FiOS, I have been able to research what's to come, stay organized, meet my deadlines and maintain my crazy busy life without missing a beat.

I rely heavily on the Internet to manage both my home and business life.  As a work-at-home mom and with the service provided by Verizon FiOS I am able to efficiently cross things off my to-do list as I am provided with:

  1. Access the Internet at the drop of a hat to handle deadlines, business calls, work while the kids nap and because I now have two boys one never knows when access to sites like webmd.com will be needed
  2. Have a strong wireless connection throughout my entire house
  3. Be able to connect several devices at once without risking losing connection
  4. Not worry about downloading large files, movies, stream music, podcasts
  5. Be able to upload pictures and videos in minutes
  6. Not worry about hiccups or service interruptions

I run both my business and family life from the cloud and need reliable, uninterrupted service to get it all done.  My husband and I need to  always have access to handle the day-to-day family tasks, as well as our business related duties (as he also runs his own business).  Being able to cut the clutter and access what we need without stepping on each others toes makes life less hectic for the two of us.

My days are planned, and I try to capitalize on every minute that I am working to be able to spend quality time with my husband and the boys.  Having FiOS' high-speed Internet coupled with my smartphone and cloud storage has allowed me to turn my home into an extremely efficient workplace.

FiOS has and continues to provide the best results for my family as it fits perfectly into our busy lives.
