Stay Plugged In this Memorial Day

The term “unplugged” is perfect and beautiful and necessary in many occasions, for sure. And as I’ve shared before, we’re a streaming family but one who places limits on kids and adults alike.

But I’ve got a few reasons why you should do quite the opposite – and stay plugged in this Memorial Day.

1. Race updates.

I mean, I live in the Indy area, so it’s a given I need to get updates on The Big Race (you know, it’s 500 miles in length and it’s in Indy…).

While the race is blacked out for central Indiana’s local TV market, Xfinity customers can still get up-to-the-minute stats when they check in on local stations through their Xfinity Stream app. Elsewhere? Watch it live if it’s being broadcast on your local TV stations, through the Xfinity Stream app.

2. Are we there yet?

When you’re on the go, sometimes you need to go! 

Pre-GPS, we actually had to stop and ask for directions … imagine! But whether you need a restroom break or to find the nearest coffee shop or gas station, having reliable Xfinity Wifi with millions of hot spots around the country will guarantee you stay connected AND you save on your wireless data plan. And, it’s all included with your Xfinity Internet and Xfinity Mobile service.

3. Kids.

I may get flamed for this, but not everyone has children that will frolic in fields or skip rocks or hike trails. Or play basketball or soccer or ride a bike. We try. And while I’ll stop short of “we fail”, there should be an acknowledgment that not all kids are outdoorsy types; and some are more well behaved if they have some screentime … even if it’s under a shady tree.

This is a judgment-free zone, and I’ll name that one out of three of my three kids is that kid. So if by suggesting kids can be on screens sometimes when they’re outside makes me that mom, I’ll wear the crown proudly.

With the parental controls available with Xfinity’s xFi service, subscribers can lay down the hammer with kids and internet like we do.
