Ever since the birth of my son I could not imagine my life without my smartphone. Being able to capture my son’s “firsts” and sharing them online to be viewed by my family and friends has made me a mom that is organized and well connected. Now there really isn’t an excuse to miss any of my son’s doctor appointments, PTA meetings and date night with the hubby (well, who could miss those).
Now as a mom blogger, the smartphone has taken me to other levels of greatness…being able to connect with my followers, scheduling posts, catching up on my emails and browsing through online magazines has made the life of this blogger so much easy and fun.
Here’s a few more tips on how to become a smart mom with a smartphone:
1. Games. Taking a cranky kid to a shopping center can leave a mom going mad (and embarrassed!) so by uploading a few child friendly games, cautiously pass along your smartphone to your lil one and I promise you not only will it tame your cranky little angel, but become a great resource for education….He’ll be saying his ABC’s in no time.
2. Task Trackers. A smartphone calendar beats a paper trail anytime! Being a mom is hectic enough, so with the help of a smartphone you are able to keep track of all the goings on in your life. By adding your appointments to your calendar app can make things so easy in just a few seconds. Voila!
3. Beauty Tips. Just because you are a mom does not mean you need to forget YOU! So by uploading a few beauty apps you can instantly get the latest on beauty trends right at your fingertips.
4. Mommy Meetups. Being a stay at home mom can sometimes feel lonely, but with the help of going online and searching for mommy meetup groups can help bring back your sanity. Not only is your lil one having a great time with his new little friends, but you are now able to meet other moms that you can exchange “war” stories with.
5. Be In-The-Know. Staying up-to-date with current events (especially celebrity gossip!) is a fab way of catching up while being on the go. If your lil one is controlling the household’s TV, how are you ever going to find out what going on in the world? Well, that’s where your smartphone comes in. It’ll tell you everything that you need to know from finances to social events in just a few clicks away.
