Download the "Baby Toy" app to Protect your phone when your Baby/Toddler plays with it

If you haven't already, download the "Baby Toy" app for your phone!  Its awesome!  My girls LOVE to play with my phone and start calling people or moving my apps around & into the trash!  Toddlers are so smart on how quickly they can catch on to things!  I was just at the Verizon Wireless store and the employee recommended this app when he saw my girls and its been awesome!  When they want my phone I quickly start this app and they are in heaven pushing the buttons and listening to music and I'm in heaven knowing they can't call anybody! 

"Baby Toy" app 

Baby Toy is a game to entertain and teach your toddler. Optionally, it locks the device, thus preventing the toddler from starting other apps or making calls. See the Settings menu for more.

It consists of three different sound/icon themes:
i) farm animals,
ii) musical instruments and
iii) colorful robots

The toddler touches or taps an icon, and a respective sound is heard. Fun and Simple! Suitable for toddlers in the ages of 1 to 3 years old. Keeps them busy and happy. Also, you can teach them the colors.

FREE Travel application - Tripit

Do you travel a lot -OR- have a husband that travels a ton for work?  Here's a FREE application, called *Tripit* our family just started using so that my husband can enter all his travel information for business and our personal trips into and when I sign-in I know his exact flight, hotel, and rental car information.  This really helps me know where my husband is staying in case of an emergency and the cell phone isn't working and also just to know his whereabouts.  We're really excited to use this application and LOVE that it has an app to be downloaded to our phones!  (For those business folks this application may automatically connect to your work's travel booking system like my husband's company who uses Concur travel.)
