Apps for busy Parents in Hampton Roads, Tidewater, Virginia, Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Suffolk, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, and Williamsburg

While at lunch with a group of busy parents we pulled out our phones.  We were in the middle of an intense conversation about our favorite apps.  We've all done it, swapped app stories.  Each one of us is adamant that our apps are the best.

Here are some of the apps the group could not live without.  Maybe you will find some to add to your favorite app list.
