I'm Michelle Cox -- the owner of Lipstick to Crayons. I’m also a Mom to three kids (a teen, tween and toddler), a professional writer (www.michellemcox.com) and a blogger (www.fromthemom.com). And I love to save money (and help you do the same) via frugal deals and steals, coupons and other thrifty practices. My freelance writing business allows me to enjoy the great balance of being a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom, while also making time for blogging, running (ran the Chicago Marathon twice) some amateur photography and scrapbooking. I’m a St. Louis native, although I have lived outside of the city and the state. A few of my passions are amateur photography, scrapbooking and attending kids' sporting events.

Don’t Text While Driving

August 20th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

A friend sent me a link to this video, which is pretty graphic, so you might not want to watch it with kids in the room. But I’m glad I watched it. I am vowing NOT to text and drive. I’ve shared it with my teen and I’m asking her to share it with her friends.

You can read more about the making of this video and statistics about texting and driving here.

    Thanks for posting. It’s such a serious problem…I shake my head & get so upset when I see someone texting & driving…it’s good to have a visual to share w/ the teens in our lives…but also the adults! I will be sharing this. Thank you! ?

    Thank you for sharing the strong message and video. Your contacts are more extensive and far-reaching than mine, which is why I sent this to you.

    Loved how the author told about sharing this with her tween and how she would no longer text while driving. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC! I hope everyone reads this, watches the movie and then hopefully everyone will click on the statictics below the video and read more about how serious this “texting while driving” is so dangerous for everyone who drives, not just teenagers. Thanks for writing this. I will be sending it to everyone. Sharon
