I'm super excited to be going home for the holidays again this year! It's kind of a tradition for me to spend the holidays with my grandmother, mother, sister and now my niece (see everyone but g-ma in the picture below)! This year is going to be a little different though, after our Christmas festivities are over my sister will be going out of town. Although we will miss her, this will allow me some much needed play time with my 18 month old niece! I'm looking forward to taking care of her and making memories and thanks to Walmart Family Mobile, I have a "personal assistant" coming with me!

The LG L90 from Walmart Family Mobile is able to do anything I need it to! It literally has an app for everything. I'll be using my airline's app to check in for my flight!

Plus With Unlimited Talk Text and Data at only $34.88/month for the first line (and 29.88 for the second) I'll be able to Skype with my sister while my niece and I are running around town... and I'll even be able to kiss my very silly husband (virtually) on Skype when the ball drops on NYE!

I am definitely going to be using my phone to manage my blogging schedule and my niece's busy schedule - the perfect way to make sure we both don't miss anything important!

It's great to be able to stay connected and organized while I'm traveling but I'm not going to lie, my techie toddler niece will adore this phone as much as I do. I've downloaded SIXTEEN different apps for her, just to make sure she has some variety (we all know how toddlers can be finicky at times)! While I have lots of activities planned, it's inevitable that I'll get busy while running errands and need something for her to play with... I know as a nanny in the past I've had this experience so I can't be alone. Today I'm sharing a list of Android apps that can entertain a toddler because we all know, they love phones AND sometimes just need some entertainment for the last few minutes in a store, while driving, etc.

The Top 16 Toddler Friendly Apps:

1. My Baby Piano - a super simple app, it plays a little music and is interactive
2. Fisher Price Storybook - a cute storytelling app, perfect for a short little story time on the go
3. Baby Balloons - a game that children of any age can play, you create and pop balloons
4. Baby Color Smasher - an artistic app, you smash blobs of paint to create color
5. Toddler Preschool Activities - a super educational app, teaching about colors, numbers, length, etc.
6. Animals for Toddlers (lite) - a barnyard of animals that make noise
7. Save Marine Animals - a bubble popping game where you obviously save marine animals
8. Fisher Price Shapes and Colors - an educational app with lots of playful noise and cute graphics
9. Toddlers Education Kit - a simple app that teaches about all kinds of toddler curriculum
10. Toddler Counting 123 - a counting app that plays soothing music
11. Color Ripple for Toddlers - a simple, interactive app that allows a toddler to play with a ripple effect
12. Toddler Sing & Play - a sing along app that allows for some shape sorting games
13. ToddlerChristmas - pictured above, a see-and-say type of Christmas game
14. Toddlers Ed - an app with a teacher, this app is a quiz for colors, numbers, and shapes
15. Princess Memory - a super cute, princess themed matching game with the option to play different levels
16. Monsters for Toddlers - another see-and-say type of game but this one is monster related

Now that you know how you can use your phone (and how your toddler can use your phone as well), if you are wanting to snag a phone from Walmart Family Mobile, I found mine in the electronics section! With rollbacks like The LG L90 being on sale for $119 (was $179.88) and the ZTE ZMAX being on sale for $179 (was $199.88) you are saving big time! Check out your local store for other amazing savings on Nokia, Samsung, and Alcatel phones!

I'd love to know, what family traditions do you have in your family? Plus, if you have any tips on entertaining an 18 month old, I'd love to hear them!
