Tech Tuesday: Let YouTube read to your child

February 5, 2013

Kids love screens, AMIRITE? I am prone to feeling guilty about any second of screen-time my kids have, so I constantly remind myself that there’s so much great educational content on tv and on our mobile devices, that their access to digital stuff is actually part of a healthy, balanced diet of media for a [...]

Tech Tuesday: Never forget a toy at Grandma’s

January 29, 2013

My family went on a roadtrip this weekend and brought a small basket of toys and games to entertain ourselves. In fact, this is the set of goodies we picked. In order to not leave a single wind-up monkey or treasured truck behind, I took a photo of our loot with my phone as we [...]

Tech Tuesday: How to exercise without leaving the house

January 22, 2013

We all know what jogging strollers were invented for, but that doesn’t mean we feel inspired to use one. Even if it’s outfitted with an insane attachment that promises to increase the efficiency of the workout. (Love Handles run $99.) Maybe it’s -2 degrees outside; maybe your toddler is sleeping; or maybe you simply cannot [...]

Tech Tuesday: How I use Pinterest to solve my fashion angst

January 15, 2013

If my closet could magically fill itself with well-fitted (pressed!) clothes that suited my shape and whims without me ever having to set foot into an apparel store, I would be a very happy girl. I hate shopping; I like having cute stuff but not all the picking and sore feet that goes along with [...]

Tech Tuesday: How I use Siri for discipline

January 8, 2013

I’ve been an iPhone owner for about two months now and have been enjoying the ability to dictate a text while I’m driving — or simply too lazy to type. People make all kinds of fun of Siri, but I think she’s splendid. I want to share a few truly useful scenarios and would love [...]

Makin’ it: Photo ornaments for any year

December 10, 2012

When I unpacked this 2010 ornament (below), I felt bummed out that I hadn’t made one for last year, 2011, when the boys were all in their matching jammies and Sawyer was barely out of his fourth trimester. The prior year, in an “I have my shit totally together” moment, I created this ornament on [...]

Step away from the computer, lady

November 15, 2012

Seriously. Is someone you love napping right now? If you click on one more link, you’re just depriving yourself from an opportunity to lay down. I do this to myself every day. I’m so so so tired and then the kid’s asleep and I’m clicking away. The few times I’ve been disciplined, it’s been so [...]

Throw a debate-watching party

October 18, 2012

My fellow Americans, history is upon us. It’s an election year. If you have a newborn in the house, it can be like living under a rock for several months. But you can still be in on the fun. I suggest you throw a debate-watching party to reconnect with your childfree friends. You supply the [...]

An app I really wish I had when I was a rookie mom

September 28, 2012

You know all those cute photo series of babies that clever parents take, showing how they grow over months or weeks? Our friend Karen is doing one like that. Here are the first five months of her baby’s growth: Pretty clever, you must agree. The rest of us usually complain that we are not organized [...]

What do you DO with your pictures?

August 14, 2012

This is the third and final post in my series sponsored by Windows Phone. I have no data to back me up, but I’m going to assert that on the very day one becomes a parent, the number of times per hour she snaps a photo increases tenfold. What do you think of my guesstimate? [...]

Let me tell you about Zamzee

August 1, 2012

Julian dashed to the computer every day after school for the final part of this past school year. He was wearing a little plastic meter that allowed him to earn points for physical activity and he needed to plug the meter into the computer to see his points. The website he was logging into is [...]
