Hey kids!

Back with my first post in a while and I thought I would share a few of my favorite apps for the iPhone (in no particular order).

…drumroll please…

1. WordPress

This one has to be mentioned first since I am using it right now! It makes writing a post super easy and convenient for a super busy mom (like me!). It’s also great because I can easily upload photos that I take with my iPhone and add to posts.

2. CROP

This app is really useful to crop and rotate pics taken on the go. I also like the app since it is really simple to use!

3. Instagram

If you have used this app then I bet you agree – its a really cool app! This one takes photos (new or on your camera roll) and puts them through a filter to change the color/exposure of the pic. My favorite filter is “Nashville.”  I almost always use this one for my pictures.

4. TinyZoo Friends

This is a newbie app for me. I downloaded and I really enjoy playing at nighttime to unwind.  It’s really neat – you get to breed animals, clean the zoo, and earn (pretend) money. I like the challenge of playing without using any real money from my app store. You have to check back periodically to check on your breeding animals and feed and clean their cages.  It sorta reminds me of my Tomagachi way back in the 90′s.

5. Elmo Calls

This is the only app I paid for. Well, I borrow it from my mom! I have an iPhone 3 (aka the dinosaur) and I can’t even download this one. If you have a little one I am sure they would love this. This app basically turns your phone into a phone call from Elmo. It rings and when the kiddo answers, Elmo’s video appears and your little one’s face is on the other side of the video. It’s really cool. I don’t think my description does it justice.

6. All of the Sprout apps!

Our little one loves the Sprout channel and I have all the Sprout apps! They include one for videos and games, a dress Chica app, and a brush Star’s teeth app! They are really great and are helpful for keeping the little ones occupied for a little bit.

7. Lullaby Lamb Lite

This one is good for soothing sounds on the go. The music is really relaxing (even for big kids, too) and the lamb jumps over the pillow which is too cute!

8. PBS Kids

This app is awesome! It has a TON of PBS Kids shows including Sesame Street and Dinosaur Train!

Well kids, that’s my two cents for some pretty awesome apps.  Just remember these are only my humble opinion.  I am sure once I post this I will be able to think of a bunch more – so maybe I can write a second post?

Now I want to hear from you – what are some of your favorite apps!?
