what can your ipad do for you?

Everywhere I go people ask me how I like my ipad.  The answer is it's the best thing since sliced bread!!  (the Kindle & my imac was at the top of my list but not any more.)

The apps are sooooo amazing!!
Here's some examples:
  • I can stay in touch with facebook & twitter now.  Those apps work great!! I spend so many hours on the computer working and I've had a hard time getting around to facebook & twitter....but not anymore! 
  • I keep track of all the books I've read with the GoodReads app.  For example when I finished my book today I instantly open the app and added it to my list of books read and added my rating on the book (I gave it two stars out of five).
  • Birthday app....I can keep track of everyone's birthday in one location.
  • Movie Fone app...check movie times.  This app works great....Brooke ask me why was I using my ipad when my laptop was right beside me and I said "watch this"....  it pulled the movie times up lickety split.
  • Evernote & Awesome Note...I use both of these apps to make notes for my blog posts.
  • My latest app is home routine.  I haven't used it but I'm excited to give it a try.
  • Videos....when we were flying home from our cruise Chase & I watched two movies on it and I read my book for a while...the battery actually lasted longer than ten hours.
  • When I was in Barbados, the bar off the beach had free wifi and I whipped my ipad out of my bag and checked my email real fast.  Note to restruants & bars out there....free wifi will draw people in...you should have seen all those people with laptops.  I would freak out having my laptop near all that sand & water!!
 I better stop here or I may scare you.  If you have any questions about the ipad I'd be happy to answer them.    The only negative thing I have to say is I haven't figured out how to print an email from it. Right now I save it to a print folder and then open that folder on my computer and print it from there. 


See ya,

Okay, it's gonna seem like I'm turning into blogger stalker for a minute...when I find something new I like, I tend to obsess about it for a bit! But I'm really sweet & harmless! ;0)

Home routine app has really helped me! I have 5 children, and although I keep a pretty tidy home (I'll admit I do have some help in the form of a babysitter 3 days a week and a housekeeper twice a month), I'll admit I'm a bit of a procrastinator. I'd rather sit and watch your videos than fold the laundry. Anyway, Home routine has help focus me toward my daily chores, & I like to give myself the little stars! I too have the kindle & love it! I'm turning 40 in August, and the only think I've asked for from my hubby is the iPad...I CAN'T WAIT!!

We skype too! I love it to keep in touch with my step-daughter at college in Florida...my little boys especially love it!

take care,
Cassandra
