We have covered pregnancy apps in the past like We're Pregnant and Sprout , and now the Totally Pregnant app is another awesome one to add to the ranks. As for me, after recently having baby #3, the shop is closed and I'm done, but seein…

Online consignment for children's clothing isn't exactly new. We've shown you sites like ThredUp and Swap Mamas . But now there's the new Kidizen app that makes quick (and financially savvy) work of buying and selling kids' clothes, toys…

Last night I was thrilled to join founder Anna Fader in celebrating the anniversary of Mommy Poppins , her terrific regional website network for parents looking for the best stuff to do with their kids. They've now been saving families (…

I love developments like the Roku apps which turn your Android or iOS devices into remote controls for your TV. We always joke about the old days when we actually had to get up to change a channel. Now that we're too lazy to even find th…

All hail the new Spoiler Shield app , a mobile app whose time has come. It's very rare that I watch TV in real time these days, and for so many of us, it's all about Roku or DVR--which means we have to dodge all those spoilers on our soc…

As much as I love real live, hold them in your hands, save them forever and ever Valentine's Day cards, there are a few reasons I love the digital Valentine eCards from Paperless Post. First, these are not those awful ecards you remember…

This week, you may have heard buzz about the launch of the new Facebook Paper app . (It's been a busy week for them, considering the huge success of the Facebook Lookback videos we shared yesterday.) In a nutshell, Paper combines your Fa…

If you live anywhere in the midwest or on the east coast, you know you are freezing and sick of hearing about polar vortexes. So let's think about wonderful summer produce instead? We recently found this the great Farmstand app for iOS, …

Life can be crazy for me as a working mom of multiple kids. And even though it's good-crazy, sometimes I really want just a few moments away from the clutter in the living room and the constant pinging of my iPhone to just get a bit of c…

Remember when you used to sit lazily on a Sunday morning with a huge cup of coffee and read the paper? I call it the BK era (before kids) and clearly some of the developers of the Umano app for iOS and Android feel it too. This app was d…

Like millions of people, I've got "get in shape" at the top of my resolution list this year, but not a ton of time to spare. So while I figure out if I'm going to join the gym or start running again, I decided to give the 7 Minute Workou…

When I discovered the Gyft app for Android and iOS earlier this year, it fast became one of those apps I was always showing my friends as one they need to download. I adore that I can save all my gift cards right there, protecting my poo…

Featured Partner Just because Christmas is on Wednesday doesn't mean I'm done shopping online. With rush shipping and ship to store options, I can continue to avoid the crazy last-minute holiday crowds. And hey, if I can save money while…

If you have been so busy decking the halls that you haven't gotten around to sending Christmas cards, have no fear! Time is ticking, but you can send cards online using your iPhone, Android phone, tablet or computer, with help of these 6…

If there's one word to describe my life since becoming a mom of two, it's scattered. And also distracted. And busy. Luckily, there's now a terrific new app called The Daily Mom that aggregates all the news that parents need to know onlin…

Even with the busy holiday season here, I'm bound and determined to set aside some personal time for momma to keep me sane. For me, that means reading a lot more. Like, a lot more. So I'm really excited about the ebook subscription servi…

My kids have been poring through the holiday catalogs that are flooding my mailbox, circling everything they want for Christmas. Plenty of which might be junk. Since Consumr is currently the number one app for consumer reviews in the App…

We love companies that consistently try to improve their already-pretty-fab products, so we're enthusiastic to tell you that SquareHub , a social networking app made just for families that we love, is branching out to Android families no…

Every Saturday morning, I wake up and check the website Mommy Poppins to see what's going on in New York City with kids. So do tens of thousands of other parents; so it made perfect sense that they would convert all those great listings …

Every year, the team at Cool Mom Tech gets a little silly with the hilarious Halloween JibJab cards that make it look like we are shimmying and breakdancing to any number of catchy songs. And now, for our younger kids, we're thrilled tha…

I'm a project manager by trade, and my husband has a Master's degree in Logistics, so you'd think we'd have our acts together when it comes to our calendars, right? Unfortunately, we still miss dental appointments, forget who was going t…

I'm the type of person who loves to be organized. It's embarrassing admitting that school supply shopping tops my list of fun stuff to do. But when it comes to calendars, I'm kind of a stick in the mud. I mean, even though we've reviewed…

I love the feel of a real book in my hands, but I have to admit I really love the convenience of ebooks when I've just finished The Hunger Games and I can't wait more than five minutes to get Catching Fire downloaded on my iPad. But what…

If anyone needs to find great weather apps, it's me. The weather in Colorado is wonderful, but it's also really weird; I've seen it snow without a cloud in the sky, and I can run comfortably in a tank and shorts on some winter days. So y…
