I've long heralded my iPhone as my primary tool for taking photos and videos. With a library of almost 2,000 images and videos from my phone, you can imagine the impact it has on my storage space. Since my kids love to see videos of them…

Hooray to all the wonderful grandparents out there who play such a huge role in our kids' lives. This weekend, on Grandparents Day , it's our opportunity to honor them. (I personally don't know what I would do without my parents and my i…

I'm already counting down the days until I can upgrade my iPhone 4 to the spiffy iPhone 5. (And not the iPhone 4S that we all thought was the iPhone 5 either.) Getting money for my existing iPhone will surely soften the blow of getting t…

If there's one downfall to having thousands of photos stored on my iPhone, it's figuring out how to get them from the phone to a photo album. (Yes, with actual prints!) Now you can skip the photo printing service middleman, with a terrif…

Preschoolers aren't usually very fond of monsters (Elmo not withstanding), what with them hiding under beds and in dark closets. But after your toddler gets a peek at a family of quirky monsters that help them learn numbers, colors and w…

We've sung the praises of the awesome Jawbone Jambox many times here on Cool Mom Tech, but now we've got yet another reason to love this awesome little bluetooth speaker and we think you will too, especially if you love the idea of custo…

When you look at this picture, do you see anything out of the ordinary? Sure, it's a minimalist design, but the beautiful table you see is actually a sophisticated speaker system. The Kaikuuu01 was the brainchild of a design firm called …

Storing kids' artwork is one of the bane of many parents' existence, no matter the size of your home. When my daughter was in daycare, there wasn't a day that would pass when I wouldn't come home with at least two masterpieces (i.e. a bl…

Back-to-school shopping is here, big time, and if any of you have a big ticket item on your list, like a laptop or new printer, make sure you check out the ShopAdvisor app before making the purchase. This handy little app acts like your …

Whenever I travel and need to bring my heavy, unruly laptop with me, I try to use a bigger purse as a makeshift laptop bag so I can better match it with my wardrobe. While I could use a laptop sleeve, I confess I often end up wrapping th…

If you're one of the lucky ones with the new MacBook Pro with the retina display technology, you're probably used to the oohs and aahs of admirers it attracts any time you're out and about with your super-slim laptop. Here, three very co…

One of the joys of summer vacation for me is having a break from packing lunches and cooking every single night. Meals just seem easier in the summer with the days not being as rushed and dinners taking a backseat to outside play time. W…

As we hit the middle of National Breastfeeding Month , we thought it fitting to pull together a list of useful apps that will help you nursing moms keep track of those feedings, after feedings (after feedings). Ah yes, I remember those d…

If you're like me, you've got Facebook friends, LinkedIn contacts, Twitter people, friends who aren't on anything, a few scribbled on paper--let's say it can get really hard to keep up with everyone. But thanks to a really unbelievable c…

There are certain catalogs I get that go directly from the mailbox to the recycling bin, and a very few that I actually take the time to look through. The IKEA catalog is one of them. However now that they've taken an amazing interactive…

There are lots of photo sites out there that do a great job of storing and printing all those pictures of yours (in my case, thousands on my iPhone). So when I heard about PicPlum , a photo service that touts great quality and ease-of-us…

With an impending long road trip that the kids are already whining about, I'm in the process of loading up the digital entertainment options on my iPad. My primary source has always been iTunes, but with the launch of the new Amazon Inst…

My daughter loves to play house and has lately taken to using my car keys - for carpooling, of course. While she is usually good about putting them back, there have been times when she has left them somewhere on her "route," resulting in…

About six weeks ago, Liz sang the praises of Spotify and its new mobile app that provide iOS users with free mobile radio. And about six weeks ago, all Android users who read that post probably grumbled a bit. Well, now the same free mob…

The next time you hop on Facebook, you may be delighted to see that the photo of your friend's beautiful new baby is displayed prominently across your page. Or...you may bummed to see that your friend's drunken wedding photos are display…

I fondly remember trying to track all the "activities" when my first was born, namely, diaper changes, feeding and sleeping. Back then, I had to rely on writing things down on Post-Its (and then forgetting where I left them). Now, there …

There are so many pretty iPhone cases out there that I covet, especially ones like this Watercolor Leaves case or this Van Gogh-inspired wrap case . But sometimes, just sometimes, fashion can take second place to function and this new Hy…

After Liz turned me onto Tiny Wings , I too have become one of the many who have fallen in love with a whole different set of birds, none of which are angry. When I thought the game couldn't get any better, it did with its new 2.0 versio…

When we go on long car rides, I like to pack a bag of activities of things that keep the kids occupied for as long as possible before they resort to the eventual "are we therrrrrre yet?" One of the things I always throw in is our set of …
