Are electrical cords a problem in your house? Electrical cords a problem in my house. In fact I often joke that it looks like our decorating has been done by a tech-support department because we have cords in just above every room. I’ve found some great suggestions on Pinterest for managing them so our clutter [...]
My oldest daughter will be 13 years old in a few months that means she’ll finally be old enough to have a Facebook account. She can’t wait because she knows that she is the very last of her friends to get one. Which may very well be true, we’ve been sticks in the mud about [...]
Carson Optical recently introduced a line of lens and screen cleaners for cameras, iPods and iPads. My iPhone and especially our iPad are always in need of cleaning. It is amazing how sticky the iPad screen gets when Miss J is around. The Carson cleaning tools have all been formulated with a dry-cleaning compound that [...]
Today, something unique out of Budapest – Totoya Toys. That’s not Toyota, no matter how quickly you read and I type. The Totoya are plush toys that house your iPad or iPhone while they run an app that brings the toy to life. The best way to get a sense of the toy is to [...]

Lapiluv is unlike anything I’ve seen before. It combines technology with up close, personal, one on one time between little ones and their parents. The Lapiluv website describes it this way: “The only interactive wearable technology for parents and children”. I was sent a Lapiluv to look at and try out and I have to [...]
The movie Dead Poets Society was released for the first time ever on Blu-Ray last week and I can’t believe it’s been twenty-three years since it was originally released in theaters. That makes me feel very old! It has been digitally restored for this new edition but the story remains as powerful as ever. This [...]

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. [...]
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.
