RAK – Random Act of Kindness

Category : Momma's Say

When I first saw the term RAK I immediately thought of a bunch of random meanings for it. The craziest being Rubber Alcohol Killer. But then as the writer, Knitty, so skillfully described RAK is a Random Act of Kindness. One that is done with no wants for return gift. I was just recently given one straight from the heart of my girl, Christine. Here is a video about it. (Sorry for the bad video quality, it seems my bedroom doesn’t have the best of video lighting)

Or you could stay connected to your love when you aren’t with them with the Peek. The Peek is a mobile emailing device that allows you to access a multitude of email accounts all in one place and you can take it anywhere. This is a must-have mom accessory! This small electronic device allows you to access email accounts such as Gmail, Charter, Hotmail, Aol and Yahoo. Oddly enough, those are all ones I use!  You can showcase your personality by picking a color that matches you the best. I chose the Black Cherry, but there is also Charcoal Gray and Aqua Blue. This device fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. The pictures on their website make it seem huge and not easy to travel with. But the actual size is not too big and not too small. It’s just right!

Here is how the Peek works: When you receive the Peek all you do is pop in the battery and turn it on. The device provides you with an easy to follow tutorial on how to use it. At the end of the tutorial it allows you to setup your first email account. I began with Gmail since that is what Mommas Review uses. Almost immediately the blue mailbox in the top corner of the Peek began blinking and voila! I have mail.

The Peek is currently on sale for only $49.74 and can be purchased on line at GetPeek.com or it can be found at Target’s nationwide. It is only $19.95 a month to use the service in an unlimited emailing capacity. Don’t worry! There is no contract so don’t fear. Having no contract is very important to me, especially in a tough economy. What I can afford this month may not be what I can afford next month.

I did find one downfall with this device and it’s one I should have thought of ahead of time. The Peek does work like a cell phone. There may not always be coverage. When there is no coverage there is no email. I would check first to ensure that you would have coverage if you live in the middle of nowhere, like me. It worked perfect in all major towns/cities near me!
