My Two Cents...
Howdy App lovers from other mothers... Happy almost December! That's right... 2020 is nearing its end and I sure hope the globe's marketing department has a new angle for 2021... a positive one would be dandy.
But I'm not waiting for that... I got you some fun, funny, and downright adorable news from the App'Osphere in here. So enjoy a good skim and tap anything that tickles your curiosity.
Toodles!

You know those $.10 return offers on glass bottles if you live in Michigan?!?! There's An App For That Now!
Honestly... this is brilliant. Michigan still pays a dime a bottle for recycling and this app will help you with the logistics for half the cut. The "picker upper" makes 4 cents, the app makes 1 cent and you make the nickel. I love this approach!

My App Recommendation
Basically a "Chicken Soup For The Soul" daily read app
It's called Virtues cards and it delivers a little daily mini read of positivity or some sort of, may I say virtuous gift to feed your soul. Nothing crazy going on here but it's a simple app for a little blast of "feel good about yourself" daily. Check it out on iOS and Android
