S o you know I turn to you guys every time I have a question where I am out of my league. My 3-year-old is getting an iPad mini from his great-grandmother. I can't win this war, so I'm embracing it. But I need help with a case! He is 3, …

After my kids commandeered the so-called "family iPad" that was our holiday gift two years ago, I admit I've been pretty stingy about putting kids' apps on my own iPad Mini . Not that that's kept my kids from asking to play with it. But …
