Gadget Shuffle

My little girl kind of took over my phone because of this new game that she recently learned to love, Flower Garden by Snappy Touch.  The thing that I like with this game is that it teaches her to be patient because the flowers need to grow at their own time.  She has to water them and that in itself can be a task too because there is such a thing as drying out and over watering the plant.

This is her newest plant, the Orange Bell, and this is also the last plant in all the available seeds. Because of her loyalty and dedication to planting the flowers, she gained enough credits to buy all of the seeds and additional pots.

Now that she’s in the expert stages of planting, the flowers take longer to grow, about a week plus a couple of days without the use of fertilizers. This actually made her “let go” of my phone more often so I was able to re-discover my love for Jack Johnson. But lo and behold, the little girl liked my tunes too and is taking ownership of my phone again. Although I love seeing her dance to the beat, I think it’s about time for an ipod shuffle for the little lady, don’t you think?

What is the perfect gift for men?

Father’s Day is coming up and I honestly don’t know what to give my husband.  I find it very difficult to find gifts for men, whether it be their birthdays, special occasions like Father’s Day or even  for anniversaries.  But basing it from what he seems to respond to the most, I think he prefers gadgets and family dates more than any other gift.

This year, I haven’t really decided yet on what to give him this Father’s Day.  I was thinking of saving up the expense and just give him something a bit more for our 3rd wedding anniversary (Church) which is coming up soon.  Because I usually just buy something off the rack for the past couple of years, I wanted something unique this time especially since our little girl can comprehend gift-giving already.

Since leather is the traditional gift for the 3rd year anniversary, I thought of buying him a personalized laptop case made in leather.  Or if we follow the more modern gift for a 3rd year anniversary which is crystal or glass, I could also go for a crystal wall clock engraved with our names and wedding date.  I’m sure there are other great ideas available so I’ll try to search for online anniversary gifts for men and see if there are other options to choose from.
