This Lucky Girl Needs Some Help!

Today was a good day.

For as much as I’m involved with social media on a daily basis, I’ve never owned a mobile device, with the exception of my 17″ laptop computer. No smart phone, no tablet, nothing.

Until today.

See, my 30th birthday is coming up very quickly and the husband surprised me today with my very first ever smart phone! I am a proud new owner of a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus, whatever that means. I had no idea that this was coming and did absolutely no research for it. I’m just enjoying every second that I can get it away from the Husband.

But here’s the thing: I need your help! What kind of Apps do I need to get?

Please know that Instagram was the absolute first thing that I downloaded and I’m loving it! {You can follow me here.} What apps do you use to make the collages or write words on your pictures? What other apps are a must-have?

And if that wasn’t awesome enough, I was also notified tonight that I won an iPad courtesy of U-Printing! Crazy, right?!? It came from a giveaway at SNAP, the gift that keeps on giving!

So now I need to know what I need to download to an iPad too! Are there different apps that are available on an iPad versus my new phone? Any and all advice is super greatly appreciated!

    Flipboard app!

    Goodreads app!

    Pandora app!

    And too many tv apps to admit to :)

  2. Im only good with kid apps. :-/ so here are my suggestions: Starfall, Puppet Pals, Team Umi Zoomi numbers, toca Boca doctor.

    Many if the apps are the same for your Samsung and Apple, but some are only for apple products.

    Good luck and enjoy!

  3. That’s right, some apps are Apply only. I love the iPhone so the iPad will rock! I don’t know about the Samsung?

    My fave app is Pandora to listen to music while crafting, on Sunday mornings to get the kids in church mode.

    Also, all the craft stores have apps, I love Movie Fone, Craigslist, my bank, Etsy, Redbox, Glenn Beck, and for kids, iTubeList is awesome…it’s YouTube for kids only, like preschool only, and they can’t get on regular YouTube. Super cute little kiddo videos that are safe to browse.

    Welcome to modern life ;) Kelli

    • Thanks for the suggestions Kel! It is nice to be “a part of the modern world!” I’m going to look into your suggestions right now!

  4. Katie you sure are lucky girl!

    I found your website via Pinterest a few minutes ago and then shared your Father’s Day Freebie on my Facebook fanpage.

    I love your website keep up the great work and keep the information coming our way : )
