SUYL ~ Favorite Apps

I am a little behind this week but that just goes to show you what kind of weekend it has been. I am linking up with Kelly over on Kelly's Korner for SUYL. This week is favorite apps. I have already found a couple that I am falling in love with from the others who have linked up. I will forgo the common faves of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Here are a few of my favorites:

{1} Shazam~ whenever you hear a song playing that you dig, you just run this hand little app and it tells you the name of the song and the artist. And even better, just on touch of a button and you are taken to iTunes to urchase it if you please. I think it's free for up to 3 listens a month and after that you have to pay. I don't know what the cost is though.

{2} Kayak~ I can't give this app enough praise (it's a website too). Find airfares on a number of airlines and travel websites (Travelocity, orbitz, Expedia) all in one place. Then it links you straight to the page to urchase them. Better yet, the fares you see here include taxes and fees! They also have hotels and car rentals also.

{3} Newsstand~ I don't know what an equivalent would be on android but for iOS it is newsstand. I love to read magazines but hate dealing with them sitting around for weeks sometimes months. I always think I want to save it for some article or recipe etc. I never look at them again. Instead, I have started subscribing to iPad versions of some of my favorites. Saves space, money and if I ever want to read something again, I just have to download that issue again.

{4} Pinterest~ need I say more?

Ther you have it a few of my favorite apps.

Throwback Thursday

Oh, How Pinteresting!

Here we go again!


Oh, how tempting!



This will be happening in my home, hopefully soon.



I NEED this. Not want, need!


I don't know how well this would go over in my family.



My friend and I got in soooo much trouble for riding ours into the street one time



Maybe I will get around to making this one of these days.



Such a genius idea! Baby gates can be so ugly.

This is on my mind a lot lately. Looking forward to enjoying many beautiful sunsets in the Hawaiian Islands, just a short 157 days from now. Can we please fast forward through the majority of those days?

A lot of people were posting throwback pictures on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram yesterday. I meant to log on and share mine here but I never got around to it. So I will share it with you today (I say that like I have a whole bunch of readers, ha!)

For all of my 34 years we have made an annual trip to one of my favorite vacation spots. Many times we made the trek more than once. Glenwood Springs is just a sweet little town (although through the years it is slowly becomin not quite so small. But this year the summer has slipped by so quickly that I was worried that we would miss our chance. But no fear, we are finally headed up in a few weeks for a few days of much needed R&R.

This just makes me laugh. That's one smart bear.

I love to read! But as of late I haven't been reading like I used to. I want to read more though so I am looking for suggestions for good books. Nothing to heavy or too serious. I read to escape my reality. Do you have any suggestions?
