Along with Turtle Mail, one of my other favorite finds at Toy Fair was Helio , a cool, educational nightlight that actually helps your kids learn as they fall asleep. And as someone with a child who has sleep issues , you can probably gu…

When the end of Daylight Savings hit a couple weeks ago, I looked at all the well-rested, bright-eyed people around me with scorn. My 3-year-old woke up at the exact same time, except now an hour earlier, making me pine for the days when…

With all the amazing books for tweens and helpful book recommendation websites we've been sharing on Cool Mom Picks and here on Cool Mom Tech, I'm swimming in books. Which, you know, it could be worse. But that's why I need these build o…

One of my New Year's resolutions this year is to get my kids their own homework spaces so that I'm not asking them to clean their notebooks and backpacks off the kitchen table while I'm in the final stages of dinner prep each night. In m…

I think it's fair to say that you know you're a parent when you're excited about Dyson news , even more when it's something you need to survive the winter with kids, which is why we're counting down the days until we can get our hands on…

As my kids get older, we are just aging out of the night light market. But sometimes in a new place, like a hotel room or a cousin's guest room this holiday, it can help. So I started poking around and came across this awesome night ligh…

I invested in an air purifier years ago--a big, huge machine that was noisy and ugly, but sure did work to remove the dust and pollen from the air that makes us so sneezy around here. It never made it to our current home, so I, for one, …

As much as we joke about permanent Lego block indents in the soles our feet, we're all big Lego fans around here. And with the success of The Lego Movie , here comes the merchandising! Not that I'm complaining. I would totally love a Wyl…

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…

We love Houzz around here. We've been using it to design our living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces for a while now. So we're super excited that they've launched an app that's just made just for parents. The free Houzz Kids Rooms app …

Obsessed with Pinterest like we are? Follow us on Cool Mom Tech and check out some of our favorite pins from this week that we think are worth sharing. 1. A cool iPhone case from one of our fave diaper bag designers. Want! 2. A hilarious…

Now that we've turned back the clocks (we did, didn't we?) there's one more reason my kids will be waking up too early. And one more reason I'm glad to have come across a decent learning clock made for kids and their sleep-deprived paren…
