Bitdefender BOX for Your Home Security Protection
Consumer security is constantly changing. What does that mean for your devices and not just your PC or MAC. I’m talking about everything: phones, computers, iDevices, Android products, even your gaming system (think PlayStation or others that use wi-fi), even your household products or your digital streaming device (Roku for example). Home security should be something you are thinking about and wanting to make secure. A top priority. With your computer you most likely use software (antivirus/malware). Scary times. A new product is looking to change and revolutionize this and the way you think about it. It’s like a security solution for the “Internet of Things”. There are so many…

Father’s Day Gift Ideas
It’s almost time for dad’s to get their day of recognition (June 21st) this year. On that note, I decided to put some things together from free to high for the man/men in your life. *Note: a couple freebies are below for child(ren) to make with your assistance for their dad/grandpa* I’d also like to take a moment and say: this year will be eight years of not having my dad here to splurge on, make fun of, laugh with, and really just see him and get that huge bear-hug which engulfed me and made me feel three all over again. I was/am/always will be a daddy’s girl. I miss looking into my…

The Book App Alliance is a Great Resource for Parents
About two years ago I was approached by a group of authors who wanted to form a new organization that would help parents and teachers find quality storybook apps in the App Store. I was game to get on board since I know how tough it is for parents to sift through the thousands of apps available and I wanted to be a part of an organization that supports indie authors! The Book App Alliance was created by leading authors who create interactive books for kids. We have found that many parents and teachers are confused about digital books (eBook vs. book app), how to use them, and how to go about finding hidden gems in the App Store. The…

Putting the HAHAHA in the HOHOHO
Image courtesy of Flickr It’s December (very much so) and my tree’s up but there’s nothing under it. Unless you count the tree skirt … does that count? And yes, you read that right: nothing under it! I always put a lot of thought into what I get every one. I want them to go “wow, just what I needed” or “I love it” so I do a lot of looking and window shopping [procrastinating]. What happens each and every year and seems to get later and later (pretty soon I’ll be out with all the men on Christmas Eve scurrying … oh who am I fooling I usually am out *lol*).…

TECH A BREAK… You Won’t Get Board!
About a month ago it was my weekend to keep the kids (I have them during the week as well but we do try and plan out weekends with fun things so it’s not just school, homework etc and I’m perceived as no fun) … anyway, they were calling for rain. ALL WEEKEND LONG. Now, having two children ages 8 and a newly anointed 7 year old, hearing rain all weekend and cold means being cooped up and boring! So, I said “hey, here’s an idea. I think you two are old enough for board games now.” My daughter (the youngest) got excited. My son barely…
