I'd been considering cutting the cable cord for about a year before I actually took the plunge. My kids and I rarely ever watch cable, and pretty much never use the landline (I don't think I ever actually learned that phone number!), so …

Ah, remember the days that you'd run to Blockbuster Video Christmas eve to find there was like one copy of Silent Night, Deadly Nigh t left and that was pretty much it? No more! We asked our staff and our Facebook fans for their favorite…

Its pronunciation may be in the tomayto/tomahto zone, but when it comes to GIFs there's no debate about their popularity. So, last week when our favorite social network rolled out the Boomerang app that basically lets you produce and sha…

While parents have phones and computers filled with family video these days, I admit that I don't always have the most cinematic eye when it comes to taking videos of my own kids. I take after my dad in that I like to narrate way too muc…

We're always looking for cool educational videos for kids, whether they're the funniest videos on YouTube , or educational videos and YouTube channels that our own kids love. In fact, we've joked that we could just do that, full time, ev…

Even though our kids will be getting lots of STEM in school these days (at least, we hope so), we love the idea of encouraging their love of learning about science, math, and related subjects outside the classroom too. YouTube can actual…

My kids are already saying they're bored during the afternoon when it's too hot to play outside too long. So yeah, they may be getting more screen time than usual, but I've been trying to justify it by finding some educational YouTube ch…

Ever since my husband showed the kids the GoPro videos he took while mountain biking, they've wanted to take the same kind of cool action videos, even if all they're doing is riding a scooter down the driveway. And since we're not so kee…

I was so happy to sit down with Arielle Duhaime-Ross and Ben Popper of The Verge recently (oh, how we love The Verge) to talk what's new in baby tech for their excellent Verge video series, Top Shelf . You get to see a bunch of cool new …

We've seen a lot of cameras around here, and we've tested them out under some pretty extreme conditions. (Ask Kristen and me about our kayaking adventure at the GoPro Mountain Games sometime.) But we were all blown away when we learned a…

When I have to explain a concept to my kids, there are so many awesome educational videos out there on all kinds of subjects, but I admit, I often still turn to the Schoolhouse Rock videos I grew up with as a kid. Today we're watching Wh…

I'm not even kidding that when I heard the the word Meerkat being tossed around for the past couple of weeks, I thought to myself, Is that Meerkat Manor show back on TV again? But then, when the Periscope live streaming app for Twitter l…

This is a sponsored message for Bevy Just imagine all the free space and potentially sanity you could have back if all your smartphone photos and videos were automatically uploaded to one safe place as soon as you captured them. That's e…

I can barely keep track of the TV remote control, let alone the one for the cable box, the Blu-Ray, the ... you get where I'm going, which is why I was pretty enthralled with Pronto at CES 2015, a gadget and app that lets you control all…

The holiday season involves some of my all-time favorite things: family, friends, good cheer, giving gifts, and sugary treats. And butter. But one of drawbacks of this time of year, for me, has to be the shipping stress. My family is clo…

Every year for a looong time now I've looked forward to the annual Simpsons holiday intro that takes seasonal themes and runs with them, hilariously. This year's sequence does not disappoint--a Christmas (or Hanukkah?) miracle in itself …

The thing about YouTube is, it can go from super fun to totally overwhelming--not to mention disturbing--on a dime. Sometimes when I'm watching my 5-year-old son watch his YouTube videos on my old iPad, all I can do is hope that we don't…

As longtime fans of BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr. , I always turn to the sites for solid, clear, kid-friendly explanations of everything from the first Thanksgiving to 9/11 . So I'm turning to the BrainPOP Jr. site (best for kids up to third…

If you're still figuring out how to make your house the coolest on the block--after all, you do not want any leftover Halloween candy on Saturday morning, trust me--then ooh, I have a treat for you. Check out AtmosFEARfx which is doing n…

If you have a baby, you've probably said i t's all going by so fast 20 times just this week alone--and then felt guilty at least four times for forgetting to record all those sweet moments in a baby book somewhere. We get it! We look for…
