This summer I started to get really tired of our old chore charts. We write everything down on a paper or clip board, but it never quite gets tracked like it should and I always have a kid telling me later about how they completed a chore when I don’t think they did. It was definitely time to shake things up at our house and I just knew there had to be a better way. I searched around for a better chore chart system and found BusyKid. My kids one complaint was that neither their dad or myself had cash on hand to pay for the chores they had finished. I would joke with my daughter “Do you take a credit card?” she didn’t appreciate that very much. I needed a way for their chore money to just come out of my checking account automatically without any hassle.

If you are around my age you probably will remember on road trips just staring out the window for entertainment. Sure I had a coloring book and occasionally my mom would even play a game of tick-tac-toe with me, but in car entertainment was definitely limited compared to today’s standards. I honestly don’t know how my parents did it. I am always making sure my kids have plenty of entertainment just so I don’t want to pull my hair out by the end of the trip. How many times can you hear “Are we there yet?”

 As busy mom I look for tools and tricks to help me out with my busy day. I want to be able to do even the simplest of tasks smoothly and with ease. That includes searching the internet. Whether I’m shopping for Christmas gifts or just searching for an answer to one of my kiddo’s questions during homeschool that I can’t answer, I want a browser that is fast and runs smooth.

 As a blogger I am constantly taking photos, but I also take a lot of family photos. There is one commonality between the two though; I want all my photos to be beautiful and professional looking. This doesn’t always happen with just a click, even when I am trying my best photos can come out too dark or have little mistakes. That’s when I turn to Lightroom and Photoshop. I currently have the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan and love it. It’s such a great plan because you can use Photoshop and Lightroom on all your photos. Since it’s a cloud you can use it on any device! This comes in handy when I’m traveling and don’t have access to a computer.
