musicBleeper App is a must for all music loving parents!
Parents, have you ever been jamming to your favorite playlist, and suddenly you realize there is a track that is inappropriate for your kids a little too late? Yes, I’m sure I am not the only one, so come on and admit it! I remember one time when my daughter was little a song came on, and she started asking what a vulgar word meant…talk about AWKWARD… or that time when I was driving with my grandmother and that one song you would NEVER play around any older adult, ESPECIALLY YOUR GRANDMOTHER starts playing while you’re trying to change the track as fast as you can! Too late, she already heard enough to give me that look and start questioning my music choices. (Embarrassing!)
I love my music, but let’s face it; some of my music has a lot of bad language that I’d rather not have my kids OR older family members’ hearing. That is why I was excited when I learned about musicBleeper! With musicBleeper, there is no More being caught off guard when you’re playing your favorite
About musicBleeper
musicBleeper is a censorship app that allows you to personally control the words you feel are inappropriate in your music. So, Parents you can now relax and listen to music with your children without being embarrassed or worried about profanity or inappropriate language we don’t want them to hear!
MusicBleeper contains 91 words in PG-13, R and Religious-rated categories that you can eliminate based on your children’s ages, or even your own religious affiliations, personal morals or family values. You choose the words you want to skip or silence.
MusicBleeper is also password protected, so you can set the words you want eliminated, and no one can change them. The best part is the app can also be turned on and off, so you can listen to the regular version when you’d like.
My thoughts:
I am actually impressed with musicBleeper. The set up was very simple, and I was up in running in less than 10 minutes.
After setting the app up, I decided to test it out. So that meant playing songs I knew should really put this app to the test. I found that for the most part, it was bleeping out the right words but on a few words it seemed to lag. So, I decided to change the settings from skip to silence, which worked much better. The only thing about musicBleeper I found to be an issue is there is no option to add unsafe words. I would love to see this option later on since I listen mostly to rap and well most rappers today make up words and meanings. Other than that, I give musicBleeper five stars.
Pros:
Free!
Easy to set up!
Password protected, so parents can identify the words they want eliminated, without children having access to change them.
The app can be turned on and off, so parents can turn the app off when others are not around.
Cons:
musicBleeper is only available on iOS. (Sorry android fans) But really since I am #TeamiPhone this really isn’t a con…HAHA!

San Francisco on a budget
San Francisco brings in visitors from all over the world – and with good reason. It’s known as one of the most beautiful cities; teeming with culture and sights around every corner. While it has a reputation as being a bit expensive, it doesn’t necessarily have to be. Here’s how to have a perfect family holiday in San Francisco, on a budget.
Explore the landscape
San Francisco and California in general, is well known for its rich, diverse landscape. The undulating hills and crashing waves of the coast are made for taking pictures. A perfect way to spend an afternoon is picnicking in Golden Gate Park.
Covering over 1,000 acres, the park is host to a Japanese Tea garden, art museum, botanical gardens as well as all manner of trails and monuments. Of course it’s immaculately groomed, so no matter which area your family visits, it’s sure to be beautiful. It’s a calming, and free, introduction to what San Francisco has to offer.
Explore the water
No visit to San Francisco is complete without a visit to the fisherman’s wharf. One of the most popular tourist destinations, there always seems to be something going on there. Whether it’s an impromptu concert or a tour on a submarine, all members of the family are sure to find something they enjoy.
After a jaunt through fisherman’s wharf, head over to the aquarium of the bay – here you can see rich and diverse marine life from the San Francisco bay area. There are over 50 kinds of sharks, and even an exhibit where you can touch several different types of animals. It’s the best kind of activity for the kids – one that’s both fun and educational. After you’re done, don’t forget to check out the sea lions lounging around outside of the aquarium. It’s an amazing opportunity to witness how big they actually are in person.
There is so much more to do and see in this diverse city, the whole family is bound to have fun. It’s the perfect place to make memories you’ll share years down the road.

How to stretch your grocery budget on your next trip with easy tips and tricks
Making the grocery budget stretch is a common concern and goal for many people and households, and the main grocery purchaser of households across the country confess to using some if not all of these techniques to get the most out of their money. They are easy to use and can even save you time, too, so try a few and see what they can do for your grocery funds!
Meal Plan
If you don’t have a plan, you will fail. The best way to stretch a grocery budget is to start with a meal plan of what all you need to buy, so that you get the essentials and nothing more. If you want a small splurge, add that into the plan. This also saves you time in grocery shopping and cooking each week.
Make a list
After you plan your meals, make a grocery list and stick to it. Don’t leave it at home! Make sure you have it with you at all times and don’t deviate from it. That’s how you start adding in extra costs without even realizing what you are doing.
Price match
Do you know what different stores have to offer? Pull up the sale papers and websites and start checking out prices. Once you find the range you’re comfortable with, go to that store. In price matching, you may sometimes go to different stores to complete your list. If you do, make separate lists for each store and stack them in order of how you will need to go to the stores.
Use coupons
Sometimes coupons can cost you more, but you can save a lot with using them, too. Carefully plan out how and when you will use coupons and attach them to your list or lists so that you don’t forget them when it is time to shop. Also be sure to check out the store’s website to see if they have special coupons that you can load directly on to your shopper reward card.
Plan to shop weekly
So that you don’t buy too much or food that will rot before you can use it, plan a day where you will spend an hour or two shopping for all the things you need that week and that week only, unless you find a great deal on something you can use the following week.
Buy in bulk
Buy in bulk with meats, pastas, and sauces and divide them up and freeze them. This will save money and if you ever find yourself during a time where you are running low on funds, you will always have some foods on hand to whip up a quick meal.
Bring a calculator with you
Bring a calculator when you go shopping so that you can see where you are saving and where you may be spending too much. Mark prices next to items so that you can have it for future reference to check on prices that go up, down, and stay the same.
