Kids’ music download of the week: Hey, Josie!
The Hipwaders' first CD was a quick little EP that I loved for its edgy sound. And now, with their new full-length CD, The Golden State, my favorite song pairs the sweetest lyrics with a chorus that makes me want to grab the nearest sticky hands and jump around the...
Eye-fi with my little eye
After having just uploaded oh...hundreds of photos from my camera after the BlogHer conference (give me one mojito and suddenly everything looks like a good picture) I can't sing the praises of the Eye-Fi wireless memory cards enough. Especially since they've added...
An over the shoulder iPad holder
I've seen my fair share of iPad cases and sleeves, all of which tend to look like they're holding an iPad. But when I saw these beautiful, handmade sleeves, I actually had to look at the description before realizing what they were for. The iPad Braid flap sleeve from...

An elephant never forgets…his iPod
Stumbling upon this adorable iPhone, iPod or iPod Touch case on Etsy, I thought it was be a sweet gift for a kid going back to school this year with tech in tow. Made by a Florida artist, it's a simple design with a Velcro closure to give you quick access when you...
Itemize.com: It’s like having a personal shopping assistant
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...
Toca Boca: the name behind 6 of our favorite kids’ apps
I get excited about great apps for my kids -- and ticked off by the ones that stink -- but I don't usually think too much about the apps' developers. However, as my kids have started to amass an arsenal of apps on my iPad, I keep running into games by a company named...

In just a few short months, my iPad has become my handy little sidekick for checking everything from the weather, to the news headlines, to the latest movie reviews, wherever I am. And while I've found handy apps for all of these things, I am loving how Bing is...

How you’re using it: Dropbox
One of the exciting aspects of technology is that there's never just one way to use something. But given our limited time as busy parents, we never seem to have enough of it to dedicate to playing around with applications and gadgets to maximize their capabilities. So...
Locket 2.0
For centuries, people have used lockets to store personal items from paintings to photographs to the hair of dead people (ew!). Now, thanks to a creative mix of art and technology, we've found a locket that can store about 800 photos. Or the entire Oxford English...
Kids’ music download of the week: The Baby Grands II
Atlanta's The Baby Grands have a laid-back sound with a beat that I like so much -- it reminds me a bit of the Barenaked Ladies mixed with Jack Johnson. And now, for a limited time, it's free. The Baby Grands are offering up their second release, The Baby Grands II,...
Take iPhone videos in a snap with Swift
These days, any videos I catch of the kids is with my iPhone 4, which thankfully means I'm catching way more than I ever did before. But if you've filmed kids before, then you know that even the quick tab slide and tap that's required to record with the iPhone can...

Like wow, Wipeout
Around our place, slapstick will always have a happy home. We fondly refer to America's Funniest Videos as The Bonk Show (because of all the people who get bonked, of course) and when Wipeout first aired, we started calling it the Super Bonk Show. My girls' great...
To the moon! Or at least, the bathroom in the middle of the night.
My kids are squarely in the nightlight stage -- old enough to sleep alone, old enough to hit the bathroom themselves at 3 AM, but not beyond waking me up when they need to go anyway. So I definitely get excited when I find creative nightlight designs like this one,...
Make a statement with your iPad, Jonathan Adler style
It's no secret that we're huge fans of designer Jonathan Adler, from his cool baby gifts that we featured at Cool Mom Picks to his swanky charging dock organizer. So I'm not surprised at how much I'm loving his new iPad cases too. The Jonathan Adler iPad covers are...
Printing with Envy
I love that tech is getting smaller and smaller--especially for those of us apartment dwellers with limited home office space. And for a while now, I've been eying the aptly named HP Envy printer, which has the compact footprint of a DVD player. The HP Envy 100...

You can't throw an iPhone without hitting a chic deal site these days -- Gilt and Fab, anyone? Not that you would throw your iPhone, of course. But if you did, you might hit this super-fresh deal site just for ultra-hip iPhone cases. IndieCases brings together artists...
Change your life (or the world) one small challenge at a time
