It&#8217;s how I stay connected with my family, friends, and most of my work involves phone calls. One of the things I love about talking on the phone is that as a mom you can do a bunch of other things while you are on the phone.<\/p>\n<p>Now I know that people say multitasking is a myth, but everyone knows you can change a diaper, take out the trash, unload the dishwasher, make dinner, wipe noses, fold laundry, and mop a floor while you are on the phone.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, if I couldn&#8217;t do those things I wouldn&#8217;t have time to talk to people because there is just too much that needs to get done each day around here.<\/p>\n<p><a target = \"_blank\" href=\"\u2022 Facebook https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VtechPhones\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-26348 alignleft\" alt=\"vtech CS6859\" src=\"\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2013\/05\/CS6859_Straight-796x1024.jpg\" width=\"335\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2013\/05\/CS6859_Straight-796x1024.jpg 796w, https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2013\/05\/CS6859_Straight-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2013\/05\/CS6859_Straight.jpg 1167w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Last week I received a\u00a0<a target = \"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/VTech-CS6859-Cordless-Answering-System-with-Dual-Caller-ID\/24950165\" target=\"_blank\">VTech\u00a0CS6859<\/a> cordless phone to try. I was excited because our current cordless phone no longer keeps a charge. If it isn&#8217;t on the charging station for most of the day and night you don&#8217;t have a phone.<\/p>\n<p>I love the\u00a0VTech\u00a0CS6859&#8217;s sleek design and the fact it can be mounted on the wall. I plan on mounting it as soon as my kitchen is finished. It also has a base speakerphone which is awesome because my kids NEVER remember to return the phone to the base. And if I&#8217;m being honest, I rarely remember to do that either!<\/p>\n<p>It also has caller ID which is a must in my house. Apparently when we moved we were given the number of some guy who hasn&#8217;t paid a bill in his entire life so our phone rings all day! With caller ID I can screen calls and don&#8217;t need to talk to people looking for the guy who use to have our number.<\/p>\n<p>It also has an ECO mode which reserves energy making the battery last longer, and in my house with nine people we need it!<\/p>\n<p>The signal is very clear even on the speakerphone which is a big plus for me since the phone is in the kitchen where I spend most of my day.<\/p>\n<p>The phone is also reasonably <a target = \"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/VTech-CS6859-Cordless-Answering-System-with-Dual-Caller-ID\/24950165\" target=\"_blank\">priced at only $40 at Walmart <\/a>and is expandable for up to 5 handsets.<\/p>\n<p>Phones are one of those things that you don&#8217;t really think about until yours doesn&#8217;t work well anymore. The\u00a0VTech\u00a0CS6859 is a great phone for my active family.<\/p>\n<p>You can win a\u00a0\u00a0VTech\u00a0CS6859 phone for your family by entering my giveaway! Just leave a comment sharing what you are most likely to multitask when you are on the phone.
