How many apps do you have on your phone? Ten? Twenty? More?
I’ve got more than I can actually count but as I was scrolling through them to find one the other day it occurred to me there are a handful of apps I simply couldn’t live without now I’m a mum.
They’re apps I use daily without even thinking about it, but if I do stop and think about it I realised they connect me with the outside world and help me stay sane amongst the nappies, washing and general chaos. Especially in the school holidays.
So, in no particular order (apart from the first one, that’s really important) here are 5 apps I can’t live without since becoming a mum!
5 apps I can’t live without since becoming a mum!
1. Deliveroo. When I discovered you can get wine as well as food via Deliveroo it was a revelation. For when the other half is out and the kids are in bed and you’d really like a glass of wine but owing to very poor planning on your part there’s none in the house. And it comes cold.
2. CBeebies Storytime. A life saver when you’ve got a screaming toddler on public transport or in the supermarket. Or even when you’re at home and need the loo. (And yes Andy Day is on there, in case you were wondering).
3. WhatsApp. The place to vent and let off steam with your mum friends when you’re having a bad day. Or even when you’re having a good day. (Does anyone else have a friend who is always typing when you turn it on?)
4. GIFs for WhatsApp. For when only memes of a women drinking wine or mums hiding behind their hands and weeping can explain how you feel. Which is rather a lot of the time.
5. Instagram. A quick scroll through there with the baby on the boob and I instantly know what everyone else is up to without having to leave the house, speak to anyone or disturb the feeding baby. Genius. And if you’re looking to grow your own Instagram account there are a number of companies out there who can help you gain more Instagram followers with the help of AI technology.
Are there any apps you can’t live without now you’re a parent? I’d love to know which ones!
I love instagram and CBeebies story time sounds like a great idea for when you’re on the move. I have to admit I’ve never used Whatsapp, everyone looks at me like I’ve got 2 heads when I say that! #thatfridaylinky
oh yes Instagram for days and the cbeebies is an awesome app X #thatfridaylinky
I had never thought of the Deliveroo app. I may go and take a look. As for WhatsApp, I try to avoid joining groups because of the constant updates! This post has been quite a window into your world! Headed over from #thatfridaylinky

I must be well out of the loop, I’ve never heard of deliveroo! Will have to check that out. I love Instgram, I love seeing what everyone is doing, maybe I’m just a bit nosey lol.

We didn’t have so much when my kids were younger. The ones I can’t live without now are Hay Day (addict for 3 years) Audible,Twitter and Instagram.
Oh goodness I so not a tech Mum, and more importantly my mum friend generation aren’t. Instagram and Facebook would be my only two now. Twitter when mine were younger. #DreamTeam
I love the GIFs for WhatsApp ! going to download ASAP. Twitter and Instagram are a must for me I love scrolling when I’m bored. #MMBC
Love Instagram as I scroll through other people’s feeds. Whatsapp comes in handy with the school group #dreamteam
These are great apps! Especially the takeaway one. We only discovered the joy of deliveroo last year. Nothing in the fridge? … just click the app and dinner is served Thanks for joining us for the #dreamteam x
These are great! I have lost count how many apps are on my phone! I think the Cbeebies apps are all lovely.
Thanks for sharing with #MMBC. x
