Uncommon Case

This review is long overdue but it’s not that it hasn’t been on my mind. It has been, every day, several times a day because every time I pick up my iPhone I see my Uncommon Case that I need to write a review for. I’m grateful for a little bit of breathing room so [...]

 

Wii Party Video Game

Recently Nintendo was kind enough to loan us a copy of their game Wii Party and my kids very gladly stepped up to the challenge of trying the game out. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect. We don’t have the best track record when it comes to “playing nicely” with Wii multi-player games. There [...]

 

Woogie Case

When I received an email asking me if I’d like to review the Woogie, a huggable case for your iPhone/iPod Touch, I asked my kids if they’d like to help me with the review. One of them immediately said, “We’re getting a Wookie in the mail? Is it going to be Chewbacca?” After I’d let [...]

 

Isotoner SmarTouch Gloves

**12/9/10 – I’ve heard from several of my readers that they are finding the gloves around town. I just saw them in my Walmart, tucked back by the handbags. The price was $12.00 which is a great deal. These would make a fantastic gift. I’ve been using mine for almost two months and they haven’t [...]

Sesame Street USB

The good folks at Sesame Workshop recently sent me two of their new Video USB Flash drives to try out. I never thought that a USB drive could be considered “cute” but the ones that arrived in my mailbox certainly were. Why? Because these USBs are shaped like a Sesame Street character’s face. You separate [...]

 

Munchkin Bath Super Scooper Turtle

I purchased this last month for my kids’ bathtub. Our bath toys are a sorry collection and I finally went through and purged some of the sadder toys. We’ve been storing them in a plastic ice cream bucket for years and I was finally ready for a storage upgrade. Can you do anything but upgrade [...]

 

Cuisinart Automatic Ice Cream Maker

    This post is more than a little overdue but here goes. For Christmas Santa Claus brought me a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker. What I had asked for was Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred DVD. That made it under the tree too but when I opened up the ice cream maker I decided that [...]

Amazon Prime

About two years ago my husband signed up for a free trial for the Prime service offered by Amazon.com. For a yearly fee you’re able to ship many purchases via two day shipping, for free. Well, not really free because you pay the yearly fee, but if you buy a lot of stuff on Amazon [...]

 

Lego Rock Band

  A while ago I posted about how excited I was to see the Lego video game folks joining forces with the Rock Band empire. We’ve never brought Rock Band or Guitar Hero into the house because I’m not a big fan of the avatars and the lyrics in many of the songs weren’t great [...]

 

Flip MinoHD Camcorder

  Last year Santa left one of these little goodies under our tree and we’ve put it to good use over the past year. I absolutely love it’s small size. If I’ve got something to videotape at the elementary school this goes in my purse and comes out when it’s time to tape. No lugging [...]

iOS 5.01 Released: Includes Fix For iOS 5.0 Battery Life Issue

iOS 5 Gets Its First Update Thanks to my husband Zack for getting this post out about the new iOS 5.1 release. I’ve yet to install the update…but I’ll be following his instructions below. Shortly after the iPhone 4S hit the market a bug was discovered that severely impacted battery life on those new devices. [...]

What I Do

I review iPhone apps for moms. I have a decent grasp of techy things but the technical guts (for lack of a better word) of how the apps work are beyond me. So my reviews will be practical and purely subjective. Reviews for moms by a real life, actual mom. My kids will vouch for me.
