Guest Post: Apps Collect Our Data. How Do They Use It?

I personally have never thought much about the apps on my phone and how they could be collecting information like this.  A good read for sure!  Thanks for letting me repost this article.  Most mobile users know that apps frequently collect private information. While it’s  true some people aren’t aware of it, most who are aware tend to be indifferent to the idea. But, don’t we deserve a little more info about what app makers actually do with the data they extract from our mobile devices?

Railroad picture

The other night the hubby and I went on a date.  We went on a trail walk and had a great time enjoying the warm and sunshine.  We came to this neat bridge and railroad crossing so I knew I had to get a picture.   When was the last date you've had with your husband/wife?

Matching Mother Daughter Bracelets

Thank-you Quiet Mischief and Company for sending me these matching mother/daughter bracelets to review.  All opinions are 100% mine and I was not paid for this review.   My  daughter will smile with happiness for anything pink.  Pink mixed with purple in a wearable form and she was thrilled.  Then on top of all that fun knowing mom has the matching one and she was ecstatic!  I loved sharing the moment with my daughter when I said I had something special for her and for me.  It has been 4 days since I gave the bracelet to her and neither her nor I have taken it off.   The neat thing about Quiet Mischief is they will custom make any order with any color.  :)  They also take the time to ask your wrist length so our bracelets fit perfect!  No fear of them falling off or cutting the blood supply off.   So Mother's Day is fast approaching so get your orders in today!  Order your Mother/Daughter Bracele...
