Food, Coffee and Organization Apps

It’s that time of year! The start of fall is a busy time for college students. Organization is a big key to success and, of course, there are apps to help you get organized from the start. The educational app market is steadily growing. These apps can be helpful tools to manage classes, projects, meeting deadlines and study time.

Food and cooking are hugely popular topics of interest these days. John-Bryan Hopkins began his food blog called Foodimentary about national food holidays in 2006.

I truly believe in my “Just the facts Ma’am” approach to blogging.” Check it out.
