My husband and I are going on vacation in a few weeks. A real vacation! Just the two of us! Can you tell I am excited! It has been foreeeever since we went out of town without the kids, and I think this trip is going to be fabulous! Like, sit around and do nothing and eat ridiculous amounts of food fabulous. In order to do that, I need some backup. No, not like moral support backup. Like extra power for my [...]
I’m cheap. Super duper uber cheap. I will splurge on tech devices, but always cut back on the accesories. I bought a knock off iPad case on ebay because I was drawn to the lovely bright orange faux leather. It’s totally falling appart at the seams and I have had it just a few weeks. When it comes to tech gloves, I have never splurged on a pair. I guess I just didn’t realize how nice real tech gloves were! [...]
FingerPrint Play is at it again with their biggest world wide adventure yet! Whole Wide World is a brand new app where kids can explore the world simply by spinning the globe, selecting a country, and zooming in for some fun games and learning. I tried out World Wide app with my 6 year old and it was a big hit. Intended for kids age 5-8, even my three year old loved playing with my assistance! The first 4 countries in [...]
I have an eleven year old son who has autism. He is a delightful boy who has made great strides, many of which I can attribute to technology. As you know we are big Apple fans in our household. My son uses our iMac daily for homework, and one of his favorite things to earn is time on his iPod Touch for doing his chores. Even though my son struggles with daily tasks and language, he has always seemed to [...]
There are two types of people in this world. Those who take every single picture with their camera flash on, and those who would never ever in a million years use it. Okay, I totally just made that up. It does seem to me though, that a lot of people splurge on a DSLR and never take advantage of natural light. They shoot every picture on auto, and every photo looks like the person is a deer in headlights. If [...]
When my teenager was a baby, there were two kinds of diapers. Expensive diapers that felt like plastic, and generic diapers, which also happened to feel just like wearing plastic. Now diapers are soft, and feel like fabric, and are much more absorbant, and, and… Well. It’s just sucks that diapers were so crappy back then compared to diapers today. Which is exactly how I feel about camera bags. Where were the stylish cute camera bags thirteen years ago??? I am certainly [...]
The last few months I have had a lot of friends and fellow Tech4Moms readers email me asking about where they can go to learn more about their camera. It led me on a wide web search to find the perfect fit for busy moms who want to learn how to use their DSLR’s. I was pleasantly surprised to discover Nicole Hill Gerulat, a Utah native who was born and raised right here where Tech4Moms is located. Now based out [...]
Urban Tool is an Austrian company that makes stylish and trendy accessories for portable gadgets. Don’t even get me started on how un-trendy my kids think I am. The great thing about Urban Tool though, is anyone looks good wearing their sleek cases and accessories. Urban Tool sent me a caseBelt performer to try out, and I can easily say even an un-trendy mom of four like me can pull off cool tech storage like this! The caseBelt is a mono-strap bag, with [...]
I’ve actually had this post in my to do list for quite a while, along with about 40 other posts I’ve been meaning to write, but such is life. With the recent time change though, I felt it’s definitely appropriate to discuss today. I’m a blogger… right? OK, don’t answer that right now, I’m well aware of my MIA status! Since I’m a blogger, I can often be found jetting around the country at various conferences and brand sponsored trips. [...]

Carson Optical is well know for their optical products, but did you know they offer cleaning products as well? Yup, it’s true. And they are super sweet too. Carson now makes cleaners that are perfect for camera lenses, binoculars, smart phones, compact cameras, and whatever else you need to clean up those icky fingerprints with. I tried out one of the Carson Disposable Screen Cleaners on my phone and I was really impressed with the results. Here’s a look at [...]
I know, I’ve been MIA. It’s been a hard month for me as I transition several things in my life. The dust is finally clearing, and I’m seeing a light at the end of the tunnel! I’m SO grateful to Natalie for helping keep this ship afloat while I get everything taken care of. I’m back and ready to launch some awesome stuff that’s been in the works. I know I may have mentioned it on Twitter and Facebook, but [...]
