I had never really blogged before this summer when my family and I went on a two week trip to Philadelphia and New York City. I decided that blogging about our trip would be a fun way to keep my parents and a few others in the loop about our travels, as well as an easy … Continue reading

App of the week: pinterest
My first thought when I heard about Pinterest was that it sounded like such a girlie site, which isn’t a bad thing for me because I’m a girl. However, for a guy, it seems like it would be harder to say “hey, be sure and follow me on pinterest” without images of cute little do … Continue reading
App of the week: PostalPix

Day Fourteen. App Fourteen. Grocery IQ.
We don’t feel very inspired writing this app. Unlike other apps we’ve reviewed, we’re just not that excited about this one. Knowing that, though, it should tell you a lot about the value of this app since we’re recommending it in spite of our blah-ness. Now you’re curious aren’t you?
