It's no secret that we love Yo Gabba Gabba as much as (if not slightly more than) our kids. One quick search on Cool Mom Picks will result in a slew of YGG inspired toys, shoes, yes, even finger puppets. So it's only natural that we'd be…

If there's anything to miss about real, live books when you're using your e-reader, it's the flip of the pages, the weight of the hardcover book in your hands, and the cool covers. So while I haven't yet found anything to help with the f…

While it's clear that the smartphone is the new camera (and GPS and address book and pretty much everything else), I kind of love that someone has walked right into it with vinyl iPhone skins that look like actual cameras. At istickercoo…

Though I knew it was risky, for the first couple of months of owning a shiny new iPad 2, I didn't use protection. Oh sure, I worried that it'd get scratched, dinged or (gulp) dropped, I was just overwhelmed with the number of cases out t…

I have several iPhone speakers around my house, all of which either take up way too much space or require me to remove my case every time I need to use it. Well, since finding this amazing new gadget, I'm listening to my music through a …

As a military spouse, I don't need an excuse to show my patriotism with a little red, white, and blue on the 4th of July or any day. Well, with this cool case I can do it with my iPhone 4. This limited edition Patriot iPhone case from Sp…

For those of you who have yet to find the perfect iPad case, I can't say I'm surprised. There are so many options out there, but none seem to have every benefit all together at once. Either you get a slim silhouette, or you get a kicksta…

When I started to work at home this year, my husband was ready to outfit my car with a full Bluetooth system to put the kibosh on distracted driving. He wanted some way for me to be able to talk in our hands-free state. I wanted my hands…

Sometimes, I dream of living in a big city. Not because of the amazing restaurants or beautiful sights or handy mass transit. All that's great. But my dream is much more romantic and capricious. I long to come across some quality yarn bo…

Every day brings with it amazing new developments in the world of technology. And, of course, I love that. But there are moments when I have fleeting issues with anxiety over just how fast everything is moving. I think those little panic…

I love that iPads aren't just fun little gadgets anymore. Considering all the accessories for them now, you can really make them work hard for you. Case in point: a beautiful, thoughtful stand for those smitten with the Apple aesthetic. …

There are many times when I rely on my iPad for recipes while cooking. But out of sheer concern that I'll get bread crumbs or flour stuck in the crevices, I keep the device far away; usually on the kitchen table, while my prep area is on…

Confession: I have never been an earpiece kind of gal. I still snicker at those people who walk down the street looking like they're talking to themselves. But ever since the announcement last week about the potential hazard of cell phon…

There's really not much I miss about using a real camera since exclusively switching to my iPhone 4. Well, except that decisive click of the button that lets you know that you've got the shot. So wouldn't you know that someone has invent…

Last week, I spent a little time with Jaime Derringer, mom-to-be, and genius behind the uber-popular design blog Design Milk . When she pulled out her custom, handmade iPhone case, I couldn't stop fawning over it. (Seriously. It was a li…

I didn't know until recently that Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree is wrought with controversy. But me? Maybe I'm not quite cynical enough because I love it. I have always appreciated the notion that there's something to be said for fi…

If you have an iPad, you probably already feel pretty cool. What would make it even cooler is to protect that bad boy with one of these eco-friendly iPad cases. There are so many cool iPad cases on the market, but these are special becau…

Since first seeing the BONE portable iPhone amplifier , I am totally coveting one. Not only does it look terrific in all those pretty colors, but it makes perfect sense for those of us who know how pathetic it is having the kids shouting…

It's funny, the iPhone case that seemed so perfect this past fall now is feeling a little dark and heavy, what with spring finally here. I think I'm going to be one of those people who changes my smartphone cover with the season, especia…
