(oh dear that brings back memories)

Hmm my favourite, can’t live without gadget? It’d have to be my iPhone for sure. It’s my planner, my journal, my camera, my social network and so much more.

My favourite apps….

The default calendar because I’m yet to find a free one I like better. I’m open to suggestions for something good.

 

Momento for journaling. I can’t say how much I love this app. I can journal everyday. It pulls all my linked social network posts and blogs posts. I can add photos. I’ve just learned I can back it up to Dropbox (which is great cause now I just upload the backup every couple of days & then I don’t have to stress about loosing anything – which happened last year)

My photography folder is the most often used. I’ve got a DSLR but for everyday shots, especially when out & about it’s just easier to whip out the iPhone.

I use the default camera app for shooting, mainly cause I can access it from the lock screen. I then use a variety of programs for editing and sharing, depending what I want to do.

    

Obviously the main one is Instagram (you can follow me at @nightwolfs_den) for sharing.
For editing I use either A Beautiful Mess or the Rhonna Designs one. I also use PicFrame to create fun collages. I also love Collect now. It’s great for projects like P365 or any photo-a-day shots (I’m currently using it to track my 100 Happy Days project). Lots of people are using it for Project Life too.

Social network wise – Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram and Pinterest are all on my phone. Keeps me connected when out in about. Too connected some times lol

And of course in the last few months quite a few pregnancy apps have made their way onto my phone.

What are your favourite apps? Anything you can’t live without?

You may have guessed I love scrapbooking. It’s the one industry I would really, really love to work in.

I’ve been doing some thinking and looking into doing the party plan type thing after bub #2 is born as it’s something I could do in my own time.

I’d love to hear from you of your experiences with different companies. The ones I’m looking at so far are Kaszazz, Stampin Up  or CTMH

I will admit I know nothing about Cinco de Mayo so thanks to Wikipedia

Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for “fifth of May”) is a celebration held on May 5. It is celebrated in the United States[1] and in Mexico, primarily in the state of Puebla,[note 1][2][3][4] where the holiday is called El Día de la Batalla de Puebla (English: The Day of the Battle of Puebla).[5][6][7]

It originated with Mexican-American communities in the American West as a way to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War,[8][9] and today the date is observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride.[10] In the state of Puebla, the date is observed to commemorate the Mexican army‘s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín.[3][11] Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day—the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico—which is celebrated on September 16.

So there we go, know we all know a little more 🙂 You’re welcome

Only cause I was out all day 😉

Gotta love Star Wars

What routine? LOL Seriously though we don’t really have a routine of a weekend that is any different to during the week. The joys of being a stay-at-home mum.

We get up, sometimes after a big cuddle session and a chat especially of a weekend. Breakfast. Shower. Then it’s on with our day.

Do you have morning routine of a weekend?

Today’s Blog Everyday in May prompt is 5 favourite posts. So here are my fav 5, in no particular order.

1. Time to go Teal
2. 2014 Life Workbook (I seriously love this workbook)
3. Our house reno to-do list
4. From the Den Kitchen – Me & My Thermo
5. Project Life on Pinterest

You may remember I did something like this last May but it was hosted by a different blog. I found this year’s challenge via my new bloggy buddy  Em at Snowingindoors (you’ll meet her soon when we do a blog swap as part of International Blog Swap Day). Welcome if you’re new to my blog, nice to have you here *waves*

So day one’s topic is – What is your blog all about?

Nightwolf’s Den is a little craft, a little parenting & a lot of me.

A lot of the time I blog about my scrapbooking especially my Project Life pages and my design team work for Life in Details. When I’m not blogging about scrapbooking I love sharing recipes and now that I have a Thermomix I’m sharing recipes I’ve converted or have made.
Then there is the story of our renovations. We bought a ‘fixer-upper’ and are slowly working our way around the house – we’re about to have our bathroom gutted *squee* so I imagine I’ll be blogging about that.
Since finding out we’re expecting bub #2 I’ve restarted my pregnancy/parenting blog – From the Wolf’s Den.
I also post reviews & giveaways from time to time. I have one cause that is close to my heart, and I‘m often found on here & social media posting about it – Ovarian Cancer. Ladies, you need to know the symptoms!

Um, what else? Social media wise you can find me on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, and Instagram

So that’s pretty much this blog in a nutshell. If you’d like to know a bit more about me you can always check out my About Me page. Thanks for reading 🙂
