This Grandma is hooked on the apps that give you options to select a topic and read dozens and dozens of articles from any source, and even from different countries. For Mother’s Day 2019, I decided to try the apps to research this post for Mother’s Day gifts, and have actually gone through many hundreds of items, and each of the 309 come from what I considered the best articles.
