My kids are getting old enough now where they have the ability to sit through full-length movies. We've gone through the phase of those pleasant 60-minute "movies" on On Demand, but I think we're ready to step it up. Since I'm on a kids'…
There are many instances when I find myself in the car waiting for something -- for a practice to end, for a napping kid to wake up -- and have idle time. It's in these moments that I forgo checking email on my iPhone and opt instead for…
These days, any videos I catch of the kids is with my iPhone 4, which thankfully means I'm catching way more than I ever did before. But if you've filmed kids before, then you know that even the quick tab slide and tap that's required to…

I could not have been more delighted to be a part of this week's kickoff for Google's Made With Code , a timely, multi-million dollar initiative to bring more girls into coding and engineering and creating and solving problems via techno…
As familiar as I am with Internet ads, it's easy for me to forget that my kids do not, which is especially important now that my two oldest children are using the computer on a daily basis. Not matter how tech-savvy your kids are, this a…
