Friday Favorites

Here are  My First Five Friday Favorites!

1.
Freebies.
All these freebies came on the same day
I love getting freebies in the mail! Freestufftimes.com is a great collection of freebies and giveaways.

2.
 This is a book app I bought for Chucky Sue on my phone- it is beautiful! The art work is fun and different than any other book app I've seen.

3.
Late Night Ice Cream

Jake surprised us last night and took us out on a late night family date for some cheap frozen yogurt at Sweet Frogz!


I love when Sesame Street puts in some jokes that only the adults will get. Their High School Musical spoofs were just as funny!

5.

This is an awesome site. It is a group of mommy (and a few daddy) bloggers! Thanks to their blogger program I will be posting about the awesome Hoover TwinTank Steam Mop they sent me! They have a fun twitter chat on Tuesdays too.

My Favorite iPhone Apps

Because my mom just bought an iPhone here is a list of some of my favorite iApps, I'd have a better intro to this list but I'm still giggling over my mom buying an iPhone!


Instagram (Free)- they turn your cellphone photos into fairly interesting images, if not beautiful! You can also subscribe to your friends and see their photos.


The Monster at the End of this Book ($3.99)-  it's an electronic version of my FAVORITE book, so the high price was worth it. Chucky Sue loves the interactive illustrations, especially when she gets to knock down the brick wall. We also have the sequel with Elmo ($3.99 again).


FlipBoard (free)- This app puts all your "newsfeeds" into one location. I can read Google Reader, Twitter, Facebook, and different news sites all in one app. It works a lot better than the old RSS reader app I had (and paid $0.99 for!)



Lego Harry Potter ($4.99)- This app is expensive too, but it is a FULL video game and not easily completed. You definitely get your money's worth of entertainment. The controls are harder to master, but it's HARRY  POTTER guys. The levels aren't so long that you can't whip it out and finish one in a waiting room or in line at the bank.


Spendings (free)- A very simple budget app. You input how much money you have, wether it be your entire budget, your "fun money" or you just want to keep track of how much you're spending and where. Then, every time you spend money, open the app and add in the receipt. It's a very simplistic bank register that I use to help balance my account with my bank's app.

RunKeeper (free)- A handy little tool for exercise! You set up the app to track how far and fast you run/walk/bike/ride. It has coaching options, where a very nice computer voice will urge you to run faster or go for longer. You can share your results with Facebook too- it's great for running teams or exercise partners to keep tabs on each other.


 RedLaser (free)- A barcode scanner app, the first I believe. It's great to have when shopping, you can find a price if a label is missing, or see if you can get a product cheaper somewhere else. It also reads the QR codes on advertisements too.

There's a bunch more apps that I love: Plants vs Zombies, Jelly Defense, Words with Friends, Bananagrams, Scribblenauts, MadGab, the LDS Library, Nora's Bubbles and probably hundreds more!

31 Days of Halloween: Day Twenty Five

This week just skyrocketed from not-so-busy to RED ALERT SUPER BUSY! in a matter of a few days. I have seen too many cute halloween crafts and recipes that I won't have time to do myself- but I still wanted to share them with you!

First up, these adorable cracker packages made to look like candies. Not happening  in this house yet, maybe for christmas with oreos?


This one may happen for our ward's trunk or treat- Glowing Lanterns I think I want to use them to light up our trunk!



a candy corn cheesecake recipe was printed out and put in my halloween folder for next year.

poppiesatplay.blogspot.com (one of my new favorite blogs) has these adorable witch hat and ding dong halloween snacks

I saw these paper pumpkins online and thought how easy they'd be to make with orange and yellow paint chips from home depot!

I have too many thoughts swirling in my head to sort through them and post, so here's a list of posts I'm reading from some of my favorite blogs:

SAHM Etsy Team Blog: Washable Sandwich Bag tutorial I definitely want to make some of these!

Advice to a bored Child @ Stark.Raving.Mad.Mommy I can just HEAR my mom's voice in my head when I read this.

Thoughts @ Happiest Sad I love this LDS birth mother's blog so much (I've blogged about it before) Her point of view on adoption is just amazing.

Epbot: Miami Comic-Con It's always good to get a daily helping of geek in your blog diet.
