LG Viper & Google Wallet Fit My “Parent On The Go” Lifestyle Perfectly
Thank you!! I'm assuming that PIN number is different than the PIN number you may have created to access your…
Seriously? You didn’t wash the chocolate off your face and you are still wearing the same shirt you’ve had on since Sunday?
That is something I would never say *wink* as we were rushing from soccer practice to dance and eating fast food for the 3rd time in a week.
How many times, before you were a parent, did you swear that you would NEVER let your kids leave the house with hair all knotted & frizzy, a dirty face and filthy clothes? Now that you have kids, you are happy if they are wearing clothes when you leave the house. My kids may be unkempt, but the one thing I NEVER leave my house without is my smartphone.
LG Viper 4G LTE Smartphone
For the last few days I have been testing the LG Viper 4G LTE smart phone. Having this smart phone with me all the time gives me access to:
- My email where I’ll find all the information about soccer and dance practice.
- My calendar where I’ll find the schedule of all 6 family members.
- My address book where I’ll find the address of my kid’s friends, the soccer field and everyone/thing else we know/go to.
- My cloud storage which holds all the important documents I may need while at soccer, grocery store, doctor or my kid’s school.
- My Google Wallet so that when I forget my purse (I told you…I don’t leave home without my phone…quite often I forget the purse) I can still pay.
- My Life’s Good Fairytales app which occupies my children for hours when we are sitting in the doctor’s office waiting room
- ….and a ton of other apps…
From the moment I wake up when I look at my LG Viper to see what the weather will be like today, through out my day and when I go to bed to set my alarm for the next morning, my LG Viper has been the assistant every parent needs.
Google Wallet
Google Wallet is the coolest paying app I have ever seen and it comes preloaded on the LG Viper. I used to tell my kids that we couldn’t buy that new Lego set because I forgot my wallet. Um…not anymore. Because, as I said, my LG Viper smart phone is always with me, so, Google Wallet is also always with me.
How does Google Wallet work? Google Wallet app comes preloaded on your LG Viper. The best part? You don’t even have to open the app to pay using your phone. Just tap your phone on the reader and your phone sends payment to the store using your default form of payment (unless you direct otherwise.) You can check where Google Wallet works before you hit the mall. Be sure to look for these symbols so you know that store accepts Google Wallet.
Use Google Wallet online by looking for these symbols:
Then, log into your account and you are done. It could not be any simpler to make a purchase either online or offline. And many merchants offer extra discounts when you use Google Wallet. You can find those right in the Google Wallet app.
Life’s Good Fairytales App
Do you remember skipping words or even pages in books when you read to your kids at bedtime when they were little? When they learned to read I couldn’t do that anymore.
I have a really fun solution for fun and short bedtime stories, Life’s Good Fairytales. The full Android app is available for free on Google Play through May 25, 2012. Full details at the LG Viper page.
This is a bedtime story where you and your kids become characters in the story. Add your face to 1 of 6 stories and as you read the story, you will be a character in the story. You are also asked several questions and your answers become part of the stories. These are so much fun because it is never-ending stories. 
Each time you add a different face and different answers, you change the story a bit. Great for bedtime stories and always works great when you are stuck somewhere and the kids get bored. Have them ask the questions to another person and treat it like Mad Libs and take pictures of each other with silly faces to add to the stories. So much fun!!
LG Viper Final Word
Overall, the LG Viper is the first Android phone that I have used that I really like. It is small and easy to slip in your pocket, but big enough to be able to see your email and photos. It has an awesome camera to take pictures of my kids. I love documenting the everyday moments of our lives and having a good camera on my phone is really important.
I definitely recommend the LG Viper 4G

Let’s Talk About the LG Vipor, Parenting, Google Wallet or Life’s Good Fairytales!
How does having a smartphone, like the LG Viper help you be a “parent on the go?” Have you used Google Wallet?
Google Wallet app works by creating a secure Google Wallet account to which you upload your credit card or debit card information. This information is then protected by a separate PIN number. You make payments online using the Google Wallet app by choosing the credit or debit card that you want to make payments.
Thank you!! I’m assuming that PIN number is different than the PIN number you may have created to access your card with your bank or credit card company?
Well most of the phones that I had in the past are LG phones. Because they are very sleek and efficient. I also have a LG Viper and I enjoy the features of it. About the Google Wallet, I don’t really know how to use it and it is the first time that I heard about it. So I check it out but thanks for the information. Appreciated!
More and more moms tells me that I will be more connected with my family if I use a smartphone, but I never believed them until I read your post and realized how much a smartphone will help me. Now the question is which smartphone should I buy, because I’m not such a savvy tech.
