Photography Apps for iPhone (Faves)



I'm so in love with the iPhone camera & the apps that make it even more enjoyable ..

I often get asked what camera and software I use for my photos. I love my Nikon D40x & Photoshop however chasing 3 children, all 5 years apart, it's hard to run around with the camera & different lenses.

I have an iPhone 4 and love the quality of photos and the Apps available to enhance photos just make it an absolute addiction !

Here are my faves:

1: Camera + (has filters, frames, cropping & allows you to write a caption on your pic)
2: Snapseed (recently purchased & well worth the $4.99)
3: Framestastic (let's u frame multiple pics together) ***AWESOME***
4: Instagram (has basic filters but I mostly love to share w/friends -it posts to twitter & Facebook at the same time with out errors/crashing)
5: Shutterfly it is a great online backup tool and allows you to order prints, delivery to your home or as gifts with many gift options available. My iPhone prints come out amazing.. I personally like the matte paper.

And here are pics for your viewing~~Enjoy!

In my eyes --life is fun through a camera lens

Learning to Coupon

Since I'm now a full time stay at mom, I've decided it's time to take on the task of couponing. We live in New Jersey and the cost of everything & anything is ridiculous!

I have made it as far as buying the zipper binder and organizing alphabetically.

I've researched a few YouTube video tutorials & pins on Pinterest.

I even saved good money buying what was on sale according to weekly ad & used coupons. Had my first biggest savings of over $60. However I did not have a lot of coupons and am ready to take my savings to another level!


The ultimate goal is to drive the grocery balance of $200 down to under $50 at checkout.
Any tips & advice is greatly appreciated !

In My Eyes -It is better to not pay full price for products that are overpriced to begin with!
