Use a Kasa Cam to Check Your Baby and Never Disturb Another Nap
It's hard to strike a balance—being properly attentive when you're dead exhausted and also not disturbing your new family member unnecessarily. I'm a first-time mother, so the desire to check on my little Sophia is incessant.

10 Ways to Get Your Kids to Enjoy Brushing Their Teeth with the Playbrush
If there's one habit that's always been difficult to get kids to take up, it's getting them to brush their teeth at least twice a day.

I Tried the BlueSmart mia2: The Smart Baby Feeding Monitor That Tracks Temperature, Schedule & More
As a first time parent, I'll admit I'm far from perfect. I thought it would be an easy transition into fatherhood, mostly because my wife makes raising a newborn look fairly rudimentary. I guess that's just what motherly instinct is, because I have had no such luck in making the transition.

Meet Lunii: The Screenless Storytelling Device Helping Kids Develop Vocabulary and Imagination. Top Story - December 2018.
As a parent of a five year old, it's become increasingly difficult to find ways to entertain my child in a fun, yet somewhat educational way. After hearing my parents preach this for years, I can't believe I'm actually saying it myself, but kids today spend too much time glued to a screen. Back when I was a kid, all my parents really had to worry about was that "evil" television screen, but now there are iPhones, iPads, I this and I that, and my kid wants to see ALL of them.

MyPhoto Changed the Way I Do Sentimental Gifts, And I’ll Never Go Back. Top Story - November 2018.
Call me old, or just call me old-fashioned, but I’ve never been much of a tech guy. It just never was my thing, and I preferred to live life the way my parents lived it. It’s been that way for 45 years, and I never really saw it changing.

Top 5 Baby Items Used During Micro Preemie's First Year
My daughter was born at 25 weeks gestation. That is 15 weeks early! I'd been around preemie's before, but never any that early. I had many baby items at my disposal, but some were my favorites. They were used over and over again. I wanted to share what the items are so mom's with new babies, both premature and term, will be able to use them.

Baby Products You Must Have
I believe one of the hardest things for me was deciding what baby products to get for my son while I was pregnant and preparing. Thankfully, my family is baby crazy. Plus they're basically pros so I was fortunate enough to receive most of my baby products through them.

Products Every New Mom Needs Before Baby Is Born
Whether you're feeling ready, excited, terrified, just plain tired, or a combination of these and more, you're going to be meeting your baby in the real world soon. You want to be as prepared as possible, so you're going to need to be reading baby books, seeking advice from friends and family who have gone through it already, baby-proofing the house, and, of course, making sure you have all of the products every new mom needs. You're not going to want to be scrambling all over town with a newborn, trying to find all the products you didn't know you'd need, or worse—having to navigate new parenthood without them. It's going to be hard either way, but the more prepared you are for babies and their baby things, the smoother those first few weeks and months will go.
