Top 10 Most Helpful Apps

Here is a list of my 10 absolute favorite MUST HAVE apps that will help you better your life and home. These are good for both Ipad and Iphone. For my Ipad, i got a refrigerator wall mount so i can easily see and access my ipad, as well as a wall mount for my bedroom upstairs. I love it and would recommend it.

1. Motivated Moms: This is going to be your most used app. Everything you need to do on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis is on this app. Each day it will give you a few weekly chores (different each day) so you dont have to dedicate an entire day to cleaning. It also has your daily chores, and monthly chores such as buying and sending out gifts or cards, grocery shopping, etc. You have to pay a price but it is money well spent to keep you and your family organized and on top of everything. You can even add your own chores you want on there. It has boxes to check off when you are done to keep track of what you have done.

2. Nike Training Club: This is the BEST workout app. You can pick what you want to work on, what level (beginner, intermediate, advanced), and what workout you want to do. Then you can set music too it and push "do workout". It then begins to tell you what equipment (if any) you will need and then will start telling you what exercise to do and for how long. It starts counting down the timer and keeps you motivated, then switches and tells you your next workout. It even has a video you can watch while you work out so you know exactly what to do. I HATE working out, but with this app I am LOVING to work out and cant wait. You can even share your progress and get workout rewards.

3. Big Oven: This INCREDIBLY useful and helpful cooking app, has over 250,000 recipes and its all the kind of recipes I would literally make, unlike other apps where it has food that has a million ingredients or stuff that doesnt interest me. Not only are the recipes amazing, but you can add your own, view friend's recipes, plan your meals on a weekly and monthly basis, add your favorite recipes, and more. It has a "use up leftovers" button, where you can type up what leftovers or ingredients you have in your pantry and refrigerator and it will give you tons of recipes you can make with it. You can even choose one of the recipes on there and click on the ingredients you need to buy at the store to make it and it will automatically make a grocery list for you.

4. Big Fork Little Fork: Is a great app if you have kids. It has easy to make and delicious food for kid's breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and treats, desserts, picky eaters, and more. It even has tips, tricks, videos to watch with your kids on making meals together, and fun games to teach and get them interested in cooking and learning. Instead of making the same meals, get this app for tons of tasty and healthy foods to make for your children.

5. Irewards Chart: My children love this app and so do I. It keeps track of all their chores, and has a star they can click on when they finish the chore. You can set different rewards as well and how many stars it will take to earn the reward and it keeps track of how many stars all together that they have. It has tons of behavior and chores to choose from or you can make your own. My children now love helping around the house and using manners because of this app.

6: Mint.com: This helps keep track of your spending and budgeting. Get your finances back on track with this app.

7. Reqall: When you need to remind yourself of something and dont want to write it down, you can make a voice recording and have it remind you at a later time. This works much like an alarm clock, setting a time you want to be reminded and doing a voice recording of it. Great for when you dont want to write or have a shopping list, etc.

8:Coupon Sherpa, Islick, Groupon, Living Social, and Red Laser: These are my coupons, deals, and savings apps.

9. Night Stand: This is an alarm clock, night clock, and bedtime companion. It will play whatever music you want for your alarm or to put you to sleep. My alarm is set to "Seriously, wake up". It's nice to have some upbeat music for my alarm to get me up in the morning.

10. Drudge Free: This is where I go to stay updated on major news around the world. I hate to watch the news but want to stay updated on current events. and this gives a list of headlines and articles of events and news around the world. I like it cause I can just read the headline to get the gist of the article or I can click on the headline and read the whole article.
