Why I Bought the Droid X

The smart phone market seems to produce a new “must have” phone every month or so; each better than the last.  The newest phones meld together a phone, camera and laptop into a pocket-sized device that will make you rethink what you really need to bring along when you travel.
I just took the plunge today [...]

Wireless Connection Practically Anywhere with Verizon Mifi

This tiny wireless hub can support up to 5 devices at one time. Laptop, iPod, camera, Nintendo DSi… And because it works on Verizon’s 3G network you can connect from practically anywhere.

Backyard Safari Outfitters Gear Makes Your Backyard an Adventure!

A few weeks ago I received a rather large box that weighed surprisingly little.  Now, days when we receive packages are kind of like Christmas, so my girls were excited.  They were even more excited when the box actually contained something for them.  Inside were three items from Backyard Safari Outfitters courtesy of Team Mom.
We [...]

Check In and Get Rewarded with WeReward

I think any of us who travel often are connected via social media in some way (or all of them). With the new IZEA mobile application WeReward.com you can actually make a little money by checking in on Twitter, Facebook & FourSquare. If you’re already doing it anyway, why not make it work for you?

The Droid Incredible from Verizon: Lives Up to its Name

Just before I returned the HP Mini to Verizon I was given the opportunity to get my hands on what may be the hottest phone out there right now: the Droid Incredible by htc.

Being Productive on the Go

I call myself a “mobile mommy”.  No matter where we go I’m connected.  Which is quite handy as we are constantly on the go.  Between travel, waiting at gymnastics lesson and school drop-offs, productive home time is short.  And I’m really not good at waiting.
Back in December my husband and I “broke down” and upgraded [...]

Favorite Products for Flying with Kids- Ages 2 thru 10

Flying with kids can send even the most laid back parent into fits of worry. Beyond the worries about safety (see my two favorite safety items for traveling with kids) and worrying about boredom on the plane (see my 5 great non-electronic travel toys article) you also have to think about getting through the airport, [...]

Two of My Favorite Travel Safety Products

I have two safety products that travel everywhere with us.  No matter where we go or what we do.  And both products always elicit questions from parents who want more information.
Let’s face it- kids are fast.  Take your eyes off them for one minute and a terrifying game of hide-and-seek may begin.  We’ve been using [...]

Five Great Travel Toys for Non-Electronic Quiet Play

I’m as guilty as the next person when it comes to turning on a DVD for my kids to watch during long drives.  Or relying on the in-flight movies.  Let’s face it… It’s easy.  But it can also be quite mind numbing- as my kids have pointed out to me on a few occasions.  Looking [...]
