The Best Android Apps

I have a smartphone.  I am to poor to have service on it, but it was free and I am home all the time so I use it on my wi-fi.  It is SUPER!  Everything works except the phone part (but you can download nettalk and then you can call people, but they can't call you and it sounds like crap) and Skype.  I don't use Skype, so I don't really care.

I have WAY to many apps.  But some of them are awesome.  Here they are in Alphabetical order.

  • Alchemy - a weird game, but its really fun.  Well until you get stuck and give up temporarily like a have for the moment.
  • Angry Birds - you throw birds at pigs and try and smush them.  Its way cooler then it sounds.  Also try Angry Birds Seasons for some themed fun.

  • Bible by YouVersion -  best Bible app I have found.  Has interactive reading plans, works on the phone and the computer. 
  • Bubble Blast - you pop bubbles.  Four versions: original, 2, holiday, and Valentine's

  • CardioTrainer - tracks your calories burnt and how far you walked, I use this one almost everyday!
  • Diet & Food Tracker by Sparkpeople - track your calories in and out on your phone.  Links to online account
  • Dolphin Browser HD - when you download a free add-on you can visit the full version sites, not just the crappy mobile ones.  Sadly companies pay alot of extra money for mobile sites, but I hate them.  I don't know the add-on name because my husband downloaded it for me.
  • FML - its kind of a guilty pleasure, but there are some crazy stories and its a fun time-waster.
  • GeoQpons - save money at stores, use coupons without a printer!  I have saved 33% of a book at Borders and 10% off my entire purchase at Joann's using this app.
  • GetGlue - a time waster where you rate movies, TV shows, books, etc.  See what your friends are doing.
  • Movies by Flixster - find movie times and reviews.
  • OB Wheel - keep track of everyone's due dates.  Not applicable for everyone, but if you have lots of pregnant friends its pretty fun! 
  • Pink Pad - free and paid versions.  I only have the free version, but its pretty cool.  Doesn't show you a BBT chart until you upgrade, but it has the best widget, as well a community message board that is pretty active.  This is one I am considering paying for because it would be nice to take the charts with me on my phone to the fertility doctor.
  • TV.com - watch TV on your phone.  Limited selection, but some good stuff.
  • Where's My Droid - text a message saying "where's my droid" to your number from another phone.  Even if your phone is on silent or vibrate it will start going off at full volume. 
  • Wikidroid - sure you could just use Wikipedia on the internet, but this is faster and streamlined.
All of these apps are free, and except for Where's My Droid and TV.com I use them on a regular basis.

    I tried downloading Angry Birds Seasons last weekend right before Valentine's but it wouldn't work for some reason. It took me to Facebook and made me log in and never loaded. I just got mad and stopped trying. Now after the fact, I've heard of it twice (here and on Glee). I should try it again.

    I used to use MyCoupons a few months back and then the app changed and it started sucking. I'm glad to see another coupon app that looks reliable and has some good deals!

    Thanks for sharing the app reviews! I'm looking some of them up right now. :)

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene.  Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through!  She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation.  There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically.  I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year.  They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time.  So they never really knew what to do with themselves.  I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me.  I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy.  I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks bec...
