12 FAVORITE PHONE APPS

1 // WALMART

Walmart is definitely one app I use weekly. It is free on the App Store and their drive up service is free for everyone. I absolutely love their service and how convenient it is. It has seriously been such a life saver and has saved me many trips inside the store. We signed up for Walmart+ and love using it to get our groceries delivered. You can also choose the drive up option if you’d like to pick them up yourself as well!

All you have to do is choose your preferred store, and choose a time and date that works best for you and all you have to do is pick them up. It’s such an amazing service! If you’re interested, I go more in detail about Walmart+ and their service in this post and share all the reasons we love it! I usually add things to my cart throughout the week as I remember them so I never forget anything on my list. The best thing about it is, if I ever do forget anything, I can always get it delivered to my home within a few short hours!

Venmo is a free app on the App Store that makes it fast and easy to send money and receive money in a quick and safe manner. I use this several times a week, and it is so convenient and easy.

You can also shop with the Venmo debit card as well if you choose and link your bank account to easily transfer money to and from your accounts. You can pay in store, or in apps too and it will also send you push notifications to alert you when you have received money. There are so many features and options on the app that will make your life easier.

I keep it right on my Home Screen where it is easily accessible as I use this almost daily. The best part is that it can all be created through any amazon echo products. Simply just tell “Alexa” what you would like added to your shopping list and it will add it for you. You can even be specific to what list you want it added to as well. I keep a Costco, trader joe’s, target, and regular grocery store list on mine to help keep everything organized and make things easier.

8 // LIFE360

Life360 is a mobile app that helps protect and connect with your family from your phone. It is the best app for checking in on family while traveling and helps give you peace of mind knowing where they are. We also use this app when we know Brandon or myself can’t answer the phone right away. With just a simple check in on the app, it lets us know if they are close to home or not and if they are okay. It usually gives me a general idea when to start dinner without having to disturb Brandon during meetings or appointments with customers.

It can also be a great useful app for kids who have teenagers and want to check in on them to know they are safe. There are a ton of other features including getting help in a car crash, checking location history, and sending an SOS silent alert with location to emergency contacts, family and first responders and dispatch.

9 // GOOGLE CALENDAR

Google Calendar is the best way we keep everything organized here in our home. I love that I can invite Brandon to join several of the events so we both get push notifications which alert us so we never miss or forget anything. It is super helpful for creating and managing tasks, adding events, and planning. You can basically plan your entire week right from your mobile device. It is so helpful and helps us stay on track through our busy lives. The Google Calendar app is free to download and use on both the google play store and the apple App Store. The most practical and favorite phone apps!

10 // TEZZA

I often get asked how I edit my photos on Instagram, so i’m here to share my secret! This is the only app I use to edit all my photos. Really! I usually add a subtle filter than adjust the photos brightness, shadows, etc. It is such a great editing app for both photo and video, and it has so many things you can do on the app!
