Your smartphone might be smarter than you think. There are lots of apps that make it easier to get connected and stay connected. And a smartphone is not just a phone – it’s a fun way to do lots of things on holidays or anytime. It also makes it easier when raising kids in the Richmond area because there are apps that allow you to ‘check up’ on your kids anytime, anywhere.

Check out some of the ways you can use your phone to make Halloween fun for your kids and family (and keep a closer eye on your kids by knowing where they are any time!).

Halloween Apps
