We admit we were pretty pleased with our own April Fool's joke on Cool Mom Tech yesterday-- we even fooled some of our own staff! Also, we're still apologizing to some panicked people, who are worried that their ex boyfriends know they'v…

It sometimes appears that my kids' devotion to Minecraft borders on fanatical. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it was their screentime of choice tonight even over the Super Bowl. Rather than fight the love, I'm choosing to embrace it…

Here's hoping your gadgets come fully charged, your cords stay untangled, and you get a little time to play with your new toys until the kids try to take them from you. Merry merry, to cool moms and dads everywhere. -Liz, Kristen, & Team…

Kapu Tickle Toy Camera is a new app that is so fun that you just want to laugh out loud. I'm serious. It's weird but watching someone get tickled is funny. Funnier still is when your child has the ability to turn the animated kooky chara…

I get pitched a whole lot of "funny videos for moms" here, and while I know humor is wildly subjective, the one thing they all have in common: not so funny. In fact, some are downright painful. (Yes, poop is gross. Very original) So as a…

I remember an entire six years ago (whoa) when we discovered this set of Nerdy Baby alphabet flashcards . At the time, there was nothing like them. I mean, who thought of M as anything but Monkey or maybe, if the set was really inventive…
