I am a member of the U.S. Cellular #BetterMoments Blogger Brigade. This is a sponsored post by U.S. Cellular, but all opinions are my own!
Mother Nature has reared her ugly head this weekend on the
East Coast! How many of you are dealing
with a lot of snow this weekend? Somehow,
living in Maine, the storm missed us.
Now, don’t think that we are in the clear snow-wise this winter, I am
sure there will be many storms coming up that will bury us.

Finding ways to make it through the “winter blues” are
always at the forefront of my mind! I am
happy to partner with U.S. Cellular this month as we explore some *smart* ways
to fight the winter blues. I love my
iPhone 6 and am happy that there are so many apps that can occupy my time when
I am snowed in. I am also happy that
there are some great apps for my kids to use, when they are unable to get
outside, but have already played with every toy we own in the house and need a
bit of a mental break as well. Don’t
forget to check out the free parent/child agreement that
helps set parameters for your child and cell phone usage.

There are so many apps out there that you can use, whether
it is for a game (a recent U.S. Cellular survey showed that 61% of us use our
phones to play games) or to learn something new. Here are some of my favorites:
it is for a game (a recent U.S. Cellular survey showed that 61% of us use our

Classic Games – Monopoly, The Game of Life, and Yahtzee
Trivia – Guess the Song, QuizUp, Trivia Crack
Classic Kitchen – Food Network on the Road, Just Recipes
Amateur Chefs – Chinese Recipes, Italian Recipes, ChristmasRecipes, Frozen Milkshake, and TeaMaking Recipes
Brain-stimulating – Elevate, Fit Brains Trainer
If you can’t be out in
the snow – Make a Snowman, and Snowman Maker Plus

I know that once the snow stops, the cleanup begins, but we
all need a break from all that snow, and playing a few games is never a bad
thing!

January 25, 2016 at 5:49 amThese are great tips! I'm in Idaho, and our winter usually lasts from October or November clear until March or later (we've had snow in June many many times). So we definitely get cabin fever. I'll have to check out these apps!

January 25, 2016 at 4:18 amI recently saw an app that lets you have snowball fights. Since I live in a sunny part of California – it is one way I suppose! I like playing Solitaire the best.

January 25, 2016 at 1:45 amwe did not get one drop of snow as it barley missed us – kinda bummed as I was looking forward to playing in the snow with my daughter. Maybe next one 😉

January 24, 2016 at 11:09 pmMine are too little to really use apps, but I love the idea of the parent and child agreement for when the time comes (which will no doubt be sooner than I am ready for 🙂 )

January 24, 2016 at 9:07 pmI had to uninstall trivia crack. I spent way too many hours on it, ha – but it was fun!
