iPhone App Accepts Credit

I feel like I must sound like a broken record. There’s an app for that. There should be an app for that. I wish there were an app for that. What did we do before we had apps for our smart phones? When I was little there were no cell phones, VCRs, or video games. We had to plan our activities carefully. If we wanted to eat out, we had to get cash at the bank during its open hours or use a credit card. We were able write checks at stores, but most restaurants decided against accepting them. Every … Continue reading →

Frugal and Free Homeschooling {part 5}

Is it possible to homeschool for free or inexpensively?  Yes, it is. I remember lamenting that I was so low I didn’t have enough money to send my kids to school.  At the time, I felt like I had failed entirely.  Then, I realized what a blessing to know I had no way to go but up and that I could not send my kids to school.  I did not have a car nor money to buy clothes, shoes, and materials just to go to school.  I was forced to see the true cost of homeschooling.  The cost is very … Continue reading →

Making a phone call is nothing compared to my ability to Facebook, listen to music, surf the web or take videos. The app store is one of my favorite features. I have downloaded some really cool apps, everything from being able to scan bar codes so I can compare prices at different stores, to being … Continue reading →

The Best and Worst of 2010

While we look ahead to 2011, we should also take the time to look back on 2010 and consider some of the best and worst of the past year. Actually, anything good almost always has its downside and that is what I will be tackling in this blog. While I am a huge fan of Wii Fit Plus, video games that incorporate exercise can become a replacement for “real” exercise. My son got the Kinect for his Xbox this Christmas and I have seen him become active again, since he is stuck inside for winter. So there are real benefits … Continue reading →
