Here are the apps I'm using lately that help me in my child raising and household management. They really aren't specific to homeschooling:
Google Calendar: I put every activity in it. I have it set to automatically give me a reminder an hour before an event. I look at it every day and jot down in my bullet journal the events for that day and the next.
AllowanceBot: How I love allowancebot! It automatically adds the kids' allowances and allows me to reward them for chores or punish them for not doing chores. How would I keep track of their allowances otherwise? My husband and I have even begun giving ourselves allowances to limit our personal spending. My allowance goes to things like clothes, shoes, books, yarn, and other crafts supplies. All things I tend to overspend on!
Chatbooks: This app automatically makes and sends me photo books from my favorite photos on my phone. Dot especially LOVES looking at them. And I don't have to feel guilty anymore for not making books or not printing snapshots.
Audible: This is used massively by Bug, our obsessive reader. Husband also uses it, especially for his awful commute. I use it sometimes, probably will use it more as Dot gets older.
Overdrive: This is also used massively by Bug, who checks out audiobooks from our local library on it.
Keepy: I've started using this, especially for Dot. I'm so tired of feeling like I need to keep artwork. Now I can take pictures of her scribbles and throw the papers away, guilt free.
