I use the free version of this app, and I love that my husband and I can share lists which means if I forget something and he is at the store I can add it to the list for him to see.

Another thing that I do like is that I took the time to put in categories (i.e. aisle names & numbers) for my main grocery store as well as ordering the list so that the items are in the order that I pass them as I go up and down the aisles.

I have used a few different apps to stay connected to my kids teachers, and by far this one is my favorite one and is easiest to use.

Travel with kids can be challenging and even more so when someone has food allergies. I find this very helpful so I can plan our stops with a bit more ease as I see what is coming up ahead of us.

Rest Stops is another very handy app to have while traveling with kids or just a bunch of people.

I am a complete Gretchen Rubin fan girl. I have read a bunch of her books, my favorites are "Happier At Home" and "Better Than Before"

I have found that I really identify with her Four Tendencies framework and using that with Better has helped me create some new habits where I had failed in previous attempts when I had not used her suggestions.

This app is really handy to have to help cooridnate tasks that need to be done and it makes it fun by gamifying your to do list to earn "karma". I only utilize the free version and it suits my needs, I share some task lists with my husband so that we both know what needs to be done and can just get it done.

I have found FARE to be a valuable resource as we started to learn how to navigate the world with a child that has food allergies.

While I think we have a handle on things (knock on wood) they have been fantastic at providing information and being a voice for those of us that have a family member with food allergies. I find their emails with food recalls to be so much better and efficient that being on the FDA recall email distribution list.

I an an avid reader so I have had a lot of fun with this site and the bargain hunter in me loves it as well. I have found some new authors that I love because of this site. If you do use the site and receive a "free book" please do leave a book review on Amazon or GoodReads as payment for the author. They really do need the reviews to help boost their book in the rankings.

I read this book while I was still working at a corporate job that was the complete opposite of the creativity of making a movie. However the concepts and ideas resonated with me as an employee. I would recommend this as an excellent business book for managers in any industry.

I found this charity after my second son was born, he like all other newborns in that hospital were provide a new handmade hat. I loved that hat so much, that I tracked down the organization and began to make hats to donate to them as a thank you.

I first learned about Stacey Trock years ago via a yarn crafting website. I loved the patterns that she created and I loved her blog, especially any of her business postings. At the time I had no idea if I would ever go into business for myself but I was fascinated with here posts regarding running her business. As time past her work changed but I am still a fan of hers and will periodically check out her blog posts they are always a good read and give me something to think about.

We have three media centers and I can control them all with my phone using this app. It is fantasic, I don't even need to be in the room to turn the movie off, if I need the kids attention. I can start, pause, or stop either music or movies.

I love making birthday cakes for my kids because that is what my Mom did for me and my siblings. However with food allergies it has made it a bit tricker since I do not have the decorating skill that my Mom does. I found these cake and cupcake toppers and they work for our family. I have purchased their regular cake toppers as well as uploaded photos for custom toppers. I could not be more pleased with the results. I am able to make the cake and with the help from their toppers I have beautiful cakes.

I love schedules, a lot. Partly because it helps me feel in control, partly because it reduces my stress levels, and partly so I make sure I have time for fun. I first found Laura VanderKam's book 168 Hours when I had a coprorate job and my kids were young and I was sleep deprived. I wanted to find a way to get it all done. While my life is not perfect I definately have made better use of my time and enjoy hearing her thoughts on time managment in her podcast Before Breakfast, and I love that I can get great tips in about 10 minutes or less.

It is probably not a surprise that I like planners since I like schedules. Last year I started using Happy Notes planners because I enjoy the modular aspects as well as the fun and whimsical patterns. It just really works for me. I started with the classic and this year I moved up to the "big planner"!

I have a theme song it fits me well, it is called Girl of 100 Lists by The Go-Go's. It can always brighten my day.
