Someone HELP!

[ 1 ] September 2, 2010

Summer FunThe kids are in school, but after they leave in the morning it looks like a tornado has busted through my house. There are a lot of things out of place and a lot of things I wish I could wave my wand and have magical cleaned. I’ve spent a great deal of time with the kids and extra activities, like crafts and projects. As a result of the fun from summer we have things everywhere in the house. I literally have boxes of craft supplies PILED on my kitchen table, which can no longer be used to eat on. I’ve kept the floors clean and things are not dusty and gross, but I certainly could use the help of a janitorial cleaning service. I’ve kept up on dishes, vacuuming, laundry and the necessities. I have some major re-arranging and organizing to do and it’s going to be nothing shy of a miracle to pull it off!

Now both of my kids are in school all day and I can’t bring myself to START the chores I have to do!! I need some inspiration to get back on track… Some rubbermaid? Labeler? Maid? Ideas?

iThurdays App Spotlight: Walgreens

[ 2 ] September 2, 2010

As I said before there are going to be some NEW and EXCITING things happening here at OneScrappyMom!!

I’ve decided to spotlight some of my favorite iPhone {also working on the iTouch and iPad} apps. Every Thursday I will have an app for you. I will review the good, bad and the ugly with the app. I hope these reviews are useful for my readers and that you enjoy them. I should say all of these apps are available via iTunes an are compatible with iTouch, iPhone and iPad.

Today, I am going to feature the newest app I’ve downloaded and fell in love with! It’s the Walgreens App. There are so many neat features in this app! Here’s some of my favorite things:
• With just the enter of your RX number you can request a refill. This is so much quicker then dialing them and using the automated systems!
• You can upload photos taken with your phone to any Walgreens and have them ready in 1hour! Need a photo for Grandma in another state? You can send to ANY store!!
• Weekly ads – I live Walgreens for the 2 for 1 specials. I love that I can view the flyer on my app and see the things I may be I treated in getting from that week!
• Traveling and need a Walgreens? No problem!! Allow Walgreens to determine your location and you are all set. It will tell you where the nearest one is and give you directions!
• Shop online – you can shop through the app and add things to your cart! Need items delivered? No problem!

There really isn’t much that I don’t like about the app. It simplifies things an makes life easier for me. My one complaint is that when shopping you do have to go into several categories before you find the products. That can be time consuming.

You can find the Walgreens App FREE in the App Store at iTunes.

I also wanted to share with you a super sale that iTunes is having right now, I will do this from time to time if it strikes me and I think it’s a great sale you won’t wanna miss!! Right now they have several movies you can BUY for just $4.99. I know that may seem like a little more then you want to spend on a digital copy, but honestly I wouldn’t do it any other way!! I have them on my Macbook, my iPhone, and my iPad. My movies can go anywhere with me!! This week they have several featured ones for $4.99. You can check them out by Clicking Here! A few of my favorites are: Nancy Drew, Class Act and Joey. There are 35 movies priced under this value deal! Check them out!!

That’s all for this version of iTuesdays!! I’d love your feedback!!

Back to School: Be Sure with Master Lock

[ 66 ] August 31, 2010

Master LockMater Lock has always been my FIRST choice in locks. I’ve been using them since high school {where they are recommended} and every place I’ve needed a lock since then. BOTH of my children have lockers at school and I am glad to have Master Lock to turn too. Master Lock truly has become more interesting and unique. The Precision Dial is amazing!Precision Dial I love that the locks has both letters and numbers. This makes remembering a combination MUCH easier because it isn’t all numbers. There is a combination reset tool included should you forget the combination. This is by far the easiest lock and combination that I’ve ever used. It makes remembering so much easier!! The Precision Dial features include:

  • Easy to set & reset – use 3 letters, numbers or mix them!
  • Patented technology operates with familiar right-left-right combination lock movement
  • Combination reset tool included in package
  • Maximum security with anti-shim technology
  • High precision dial “clicks” for accurate dialing
  • 1-15/16″ (49mm) wide metal body with hardened steel shackle
  • Hardened steel shackle for extra cut resistance

Speed DialThe Speed Dial is also VERY nice. This is actually my favorite. There is NO letter/number combination to remember. This lock uses 4 directions; Up, Down, Left and Right. If you prefer this lock does come with matching passcode indicators (letters, numbers, colors, shapes, symbols) for added customization – simple apply over arrows! It’s super easy to remember the combination; which we have set as up, right up, down. This is particularly handy for my son, who is only 6. He needs a lock though and this is nice for me because I don’t have to worry about the keys being lost or anything like that. The Speed Dial features include:

  • World’s first combination lock that opens on up/down/left/right directional movements
  • Patented technology is faster, easier and more secure than a standard combination lock
  • Maximum security with anti-shim technology
  • Combination can be reset to any number of movements in any sequence
  • 2″ (51mm) wide metal body can be opened one-handed without looking for ease of use
  • Hardened steel shackle for increased bolt cutter protection

Both locks are amazing and I am glad to have Master Locks to help secure my belongings and make Back to School less worrisome for me!

Angelina Ballerina: Love to Dance

[ 74 ] August 30, 2010

Angelina Ballerina: Love to Dance DVDAngelina Ballerina is a lovable character that every girl has seen. My daughter is a huge fan of the Angelina Ballerina series. The newest DVD in the series is “Love to Dance”. This movie features Angelina’s first day at Camembert Academy where she discovers new forms of music and dance, like jazz, tap, and hip-hop. Together with her friends, Angelina realizes that becoming a prima ballerina requires collaboration and compromise – but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun! Get ready to step, leap and groove as you discover your own love of dance!

The DVD features 5 episodes: Angelina’s New School, Angelina’s Dance Partner, Angelina’s Oldest Friend, Angelina’s Sleepover and Angelina and the Hip Hop Kid. There are also 3 bonus features on the DVD that include Angelina Says Game, Get Up and Dance & I Will Be A Star Music Videos. Angelina Ballerina

While Angelina Ballerina is targeted for younger children, I love that I can enjoy the series WITH my daughter. It’s an animated family movie and that makes these perfect for some time that you can sit together with your children and watch the movie. I was feeling pretty dancey after watching this with my daughter.
