Red Stamp

Ok, so if you know me, you know I'm not a techie person. I think I've added 3 apps to my iphone and Andy added the rest. And those three were so I could get craft coupons (Joann's and Hobby Lobby), or mobile coupons (Target). Andy gives me a "tip of the week" each week so I'll learn how to use my phone for real. I'm not really adventurous with technology is what I'm saying

Well, add another app to the list I added myself!!!! It's called Red Stamp and it allows you to create digital thank you notes, announcements, etc. Bascially, it has neat templates and then you get to write a message and add a picture to make it personal. No more cheesy cards, no more trying to send a thank you card for every little thing! Instead, take a picture of what you bought with that gift card - you drinking Starbucks, the new scarf from Target, etc - and insert it and send!

You can send it as a text message, email, save to your photos, and share on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram (if you want to send it out to a mass of people)! You can take a photo right then, insert one from your camera roll, or insert from Instagram. AND IT'S FREE!!!!!

So go, go now, search in the app store and upload this genius app. And then send someone a thank you card, a "how ya doing" card, or whatever you want! What a great way and quick way to let someone know you care!!

Chore Chart

So a couple of you asked for more information on the chore chart. It's simple, but effective. This is what ours looks like:

I laminated it, and it hangs on our fridge next to a dry erase marker. Using the marker we initial beside whichever chore we did. It's easy and it works! So far, only one thing hasn't gone done this week and that's the bathroom floors. Not too shabby!!!

So I created some printables for you  (I am in no way a techie person, a graphic designer, or uber knowledgeable about the best way to do this so I apologize if there are issues with it!)

There are 3 color combos and 2 choices per color - one has the chores listed as they work best for my family, the other is blank so you can write in your chores. Either way, I hope you enjoy!
