Kids’ music download of the week: My Flea has Dogs
Picking out my favorite song from Caspar Babypants' brand-new CD, Sing Along!, is like asking me what my favorite donut is: They are all just so goooooood. But, there is one song that I keep coming to over and over (and over) again, for its rapid-fire, silly and...
Nom nom nom nom nom…apples
Remember that sad, sad Sesame Street season that bowed down to political correctness and had old Cookie Monster eschewing cookies as a "sometimes food" in favor of healthy stuff? Bah to that, I say. Still, I can't help it -- I'm cracking up at this Cookie Monster...
When are Macs budget friendly? When they’re part of Apple’s recycling program
Back to school in our house means not only buying new school supplies, but also checking to make sure our home technology can handle the new school year. Fortunately, all our tech made the cut, but if I decided to replace my video-editing tween son's 3 year old...
3 cute camera cases to make things cozy for your point-and-shoot

Got ten minutes in the carpool line? How about catching up on 30 Rock.
There are many instances when I find myself in the car waiting for something -- for a practice to end, for a napping kid to wake up -- and have idle time. It's in these moments that I forgo checking email on my iPhone and opt instead for a game. But I just found out...
Made for a woman, but strong enough for a man
Since becoming a parent, I've come to learn that nothing is ever just mine, except when it comes to this hilarious flash drive. Yep, I'm pretty sure no one else in my family will want any part of this. No need to do a double take. That tampon flash drive is what you...

Turning your iPhone camera into a much better camera
My iPhone doubles as my camera. It's why I have so many photo apps -- my iPhone is almost always in my hand whenever the kids do something cute (and even not-so-cute). The digital camera? Honestly couldn't even tell you where that thing is right now. Just a few...
Whoooo’s got your iPhone?
I've got more iPhone cases than I should probably admit, but protective gadget sleeves seem like such a smart tech accessory. Particularly in my case where I've got my phone floating around in a gigantic mom bag full of not-so-phone-friendly goodies. That's why this...

Eye-fi with my little eye

An over the shoulder iPad holder

I'm the kind of consumer that brands love. I like a good deal and if one is offered to me, I'll shell out the cash (occasionally for something that I don't even need). Twenty percent off and free shipping on alpaca lined boots in July? Sign me up! I came across a site...
8 reasons to love the Sony Cybershot
I am a proud new owner of a Sony Cybershot WX9. Emphasis on the word proud. I cannot tell you how much I've loved rediscovering the joy of taking pictures again--the kind with actual pixels beyond what my iPhone 3 can offer. And I've loved seeing every one of my...
