Hey! Not sure about you all, but at my house we love shopping and we especially love a good a deal. My daughter shows a handy Smartphone application that will make shopping this Black Friday a breeze. Happy Thanksgiving!

We made our first road trip with Fiona recently, taking her to Springfield, IL to visit my side of our family. It was a great weekend that nearly wore out three cameras with all of the pictures taken.
That said, for the first time in a few blog posts, pictures aren’t what I want to talk about. At the moment, I’m more interested in video: Video Chat to be more specific. As Fiona’s due date approached, my parents and I began discussing setting up a way for us to use video chat. Amy and I already had a web-cam, and my parents quickly followed suit in purchasing one of their own.
In the days before Fiona’s Springfield visit, we were finally getting ready to take our first stab at video chat. After some hiccups in setting up the hardware/software, it was time to make good use of our AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet. My dad and I got the video chat up and running and after only a few seconds, Amy, Fiona, and I could see and hear my mom, dad, and grandmother, almost as though they were right in the room with us.

While it doesn’t replace getting to hold your grandchild/children or hug your parents, video chat can help make the world seem that much smaller, and any distance surmountable. When we aren’t able to meet in person, we can still share our beautiful daughter with our out-of-town family by using video chat.

So I have my new Smartphone now, and I’ve had it about three weeks. There are so many applications to choose from and sometimes at night while lying in my bed, I browse all the applications. I browse until my eyes become dry and itchy. Dare, I say that this little contraption is a tad bit addicting. I have found that at doctor’s appointments or any other downtime, I always have something to do thanks to my Smartphone. Just as stated in my earlier blog, I am on my way to Super Mommy status. I have so many paths to take to achieve the status that I am at a loss where to start.
Since the holidays are fast approaching, I will start with how I plan to use my Smartphone to make the holiday season less complicated. Every year close to the holiday shopping time, I whip out my little notebook that houses gift lists from previous years and every year I add the currents years’ list to the notebook. Of course the little notebook only has so many pages, so as my notebook fills up, I have to buy a new one. To make sure I am not duplicating any gifts, I have to go through all of my notebooks. I also have a gift budget. The budget is on a spreadsheet in my computer and has to be updated several times to keep the running totals. Now my gift list is going electronic thanks to my Smartphone. I have purchased an application that will track my gifts and the price of the gifts at the same time, Holiday Shopping List. I now have an electronic version of my gift lists and I can enter a budget for each person, the application tallies my gifts and lets me know when I have reached the budget. I can also enter gift ideas for each person. There are many different gift list applications available; it’s up to each individual to choose which application would fit their gift list style. I am very excited on how much more organized my gift list will be. Next is to find and install the holiday card list.
Happy shopping!

As the parent of a teenage daughter, I am curious how it is possible for someone to have over 14,000 text messages in a month. What makes this more challenging is that she cannot text message while she is at her high school. In addition she participates in a dance company where she dances 3 hours a day during the week, almost every Saturday and occasionally on Sunday’s.
Last month my daughter had 14,593 messages on her Samsung A737 phone. The 14,593 messages is equivalent to about 486 messages a day, based on a 30 day month. I do not know how this is possible given her schedule with high school and dance. When I get home from work I have trouble watching one hour worth of TV. Do you have teenagers that like to text message?
