[Sponsored Post] Capturing life’s moments using my Smart Phone

by

What started as a day with the question “What are we doing today mummy?” turned into a “This was the best day ever. Let’s do it again tomorrow!” by the end of the day. And all because of my smart phone.

As soon as I heard that dreaded question, I whisked up my smart phone and punched in some of my favourite apps, hoping to find inspiration. And I did! We found out about the latest exhibition at our local museum and the fun activities planned in the kids area. All the information about this kids exhibition was found on the museum’s app. It helped me find the best times to take the children there, the best place to park and where to feed them.

Check out all the photos to see what a fun day this turned out to be!

We used our phone for navigation, for finding the closest park, and then to find the best kids eatery around afterwards. Of course, we then used the phone to capture our precious moments through out the day. We cannot live without it!
