With the new OS on my iPhone, there's an app keeping track of how much time is spend on the phone -- have you seen this? I had already been thinking about wanting to decrease my phone usage time -- as I find, like most people, I pick it up all too often. But with this tracker I now know I average two hours a day on my phone!!! Two hours! That seems nuts! Imagine how many other things I could do! And why am I surprised when I now catch the girls grabbing their phones all day, too?!

Obsessed with Scribbling

Then, you write notes, draw hearts and scribble to your hearts content. I put Trader Joe shopping lists and weekend To Do lists in my iPad now. No paper for this modern girl.

You can also take pictures .. and then scribble over the pictures. Good for my decorating ideas and furniture layout brainstorming. That. Is. So. Cool.
