Stylish bags for spring with something special hidden inside: Your DSLR camera

Out of the woods with marble iPhone cases
I’ve seen my fair share of wooden iPhone cases, but marble? Well, that’s a new twist I’m really digging. Of course, it’s not real marble, although that might be a great way to tone your arms. Heh. These marble iPhone cases at Poketo are a hard...

Hi! We’re Kristen + Liz
We started Cool Mom Tech in 2010 to help make our increasingly digital lives easier, more organized, more meaningful, and more fun, however old your kids may be.
We love that it's grown to become the go-to source for millions of parents who want commonsense info about tech delivered with a smile.
We even have the privilege of sharing our tips + tricks with The TODAY Show, CNN, HLN, GMA, Nightline, newspapers and magazines around the country, and our favorite -- regular parents who stop us at PTA meetings and ask us how old kids need to be to get a smartphone, and whether they really need to panic about Snapchat.
(Answer: It's complicated.)
We're so glad you're here! And we hope we can help you too.
The Spawned Podcast. (It’s won awards and everything!)
