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!
