This week I’m looking at Momento
Site: http://www.momentoapp.com/

What I think: This year I’ve started journaling everyday, thanks in part to Log Your Memory. I don’t always have time to sit down & journal in my Logbook but with Momento I can journal anywhere (usually in bed before I go to sleep).
I like: the ability to journal everywhere, tagging posts, attaching pics. Being able to attach to online accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Flickr etc.)
What I’d like to see: honestly they have thought of pretty much everything I need for journaling at the moment
What I don’t like: haven’t found anything yet

Life Explained
On the first day, God created the dog and said:
‘Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.’
The dog said: ‘That’s a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I’ll give you back the other ten?’
So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said:
‘Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I’ll give you a twenty-year life span.’
The monkey said: ‘Monkey tricks for twenty years? That’s a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?’
And God agreed.
On the third day, God created the cow and said:
‘You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer’s family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.’
The cow said: ‘That’s kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years.. How about twenty and I’ll give back the other forty?’
And God agreed again.
On the fourth day, God created humans and said:
‘Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I’ll give you twenty years.’
But the human said: ‘Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?’
‘Okay,’ said God, ‘You asked for it.’
So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family.. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren.. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information.. I’m doing it as a public service.
I was sent this in an email today & had to share 
Wishlist Sunday
Today on my wishlist is this (well it’s more for hubby than me lol – he’s a Star Wars tragic)
Star Wars pancake moldsCute hey!
I’ve also applied for a couple of Creative Team spots – wish me luck 🙂
Total Baby
Today’s app is aimed at new parents (& maybe even not so new parents)
Total Baby
(from the website)
Total Baby is the most Complete Baby Logging and Tracking Application available for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
It is the must-have high-tech accessory for Parents.
Total Baby will help you log and time all aspects of your child’s care through a smart and sleek interface that makes tracking easy and fun.
Inspired by my own family, I built this application from the ground up to support multiple children (especially twins) with unmatched features on any computing platform.
Total Baby will help answer important questions, such as “How old was my child when they had their DTaP shot”? and “When was the baby’s last feeding or doctor visit?”
Total Baby combines 13 separate timing and tracking functions into a single complete solution.
TIMING & TRACKING:
Diapers, Nursing, Bottles, Solids, Sleeping, Bath, and Other (8 Timers / 9 single events like medicine are built-in or create your own.)
LOGGING:
Diary, Milestones, Doctor Visits, Growth, Vaccines, and Allergies
—–
What I like: Everything! Seriously this app was great in the early days when I had to log feeds to make sure I was feeding enough. Now it’s great to log weight & length gain and remind me how long Miss K has been awake LOL
What I don’t like: Honestly I can’t find anything I don’t like. I had a small problem with the app, emailed support & got a reply and solution within a few hours – much better than some apps I’ve got.
Stamp storage
(& the chance to win a fabric tote)
How do you store your stamps?
At the moment I have all my clear stamps stored in Kaisercraft A5 storage pockets in the A5 folder. This system works well cause the folder fits in my crop bag & I can just flip thru my stamps to see what I’ve got.
My wood mounted stamps are currently in a box somewhere. I haven’t got round to organising them yet.
Maybe this tote would be the go?
I’m entering in the competition over at Lime Tart for the chance to win it. Pop on over for your chance to win.
