My kids don't know much about marine life. I'm not sure why this is—maybe because we're landlocked and don't have regular exposure to the ocean. Or maybe because children's book illustrators tend to favor more cuddly, furry creatures for…

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…

We have limited storage space at home, and I'm just not able to keep every single drawing my little Picassos bring home. Or, rather, I thought I didn't until I discovered Artkive . We've raved about this kids' art storage app before, but…

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…

One childhood memory I can recall with amazing clarity is the morning my dad loaded us all up in our wood-paneled station wagon and drove us to to pick up an Apple IIc. It had a whopping 128 KB of memory and an 8-inch green-on-green moni…

Really young kids aren't ready for their own cell phones yet, but we love the idea of being able to communicate remotely with our elementary age kids while they're with a babysitter or just send them a funny message while they're playing…

The problem with trying to find a tablet for kids is that many of them tend to look like, well, tablets for kids . And the thing is, no matter how amazing might be (looking at you, Nabi 2 and Nabi Jr ) I can't convince my older kids that…

Remember playing the telephone game when we were kids? That one where you'd sit in a circle and whisper a phrase all the way around, and by the end it was nothing like the original secret? Well, now that game has had a makeover, hit the …

We're not newbies when it comes to online gift wish lists and registries, but now there's a new one that just may be smarter than all the rest. I have the same problem every year at Christmas with gift-giving: My kids see something they …

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…
