Me Wee Tree (iPhone & Android)
Okay, I admit I spend my fair share of time on my iPhone, between the Total Baby app, Facebook, email and Words with Friends. But I have just found a new addiction… which could pay off in terms of a new stroller, toy box or bike!
Me Wee Tree is Babybot’s newest app for iOS and Android. The concept is simple: take care of a Christmas tree by watering, feeding and loving it. Kind of...

[LOVE] When My Baby Dreams
Remember that awesome blog, Mila’s Daydreams? While on maternity leave, this mom created the most amazing photos while her newborn Mila napped during the day. The result was the most beautiful and creative photos I’ve ever seen anyone take of their baby.
The blog’s popularity skyrocketed, and the mom ended up taking all her photos down after countless people started abusing...

10 Ways Scrabble is a Lot Like Poker
Photo by williamhartz
When I was young, I loved playing Scrabble. I would beg my younger brother to play with me, even though he would win the majority of the time. I loved words and I loved puzzles, and Scrabble was the ultimate word puzzle.
After we grew up, Scrabble games were few and far between. Then a fun little Facebook app called Scrabulous was created and became hugely popular....

Baby Books, Part 4
Okay, I admit it. I’m kind of obsessed with kids’ books right now. I was back when I was a kid, and I think I love them even more now as a parent.
Spring Is Here by Taro Gomi. This guys is best known for “Everyone Poops.” I haven’t read that one, but his other books are so beautiful and poetic that you want to cover them in plastic and keep them forever.

Baby Books
I’m currently in the midst of building my daughter’s library. I’ve only picked up a book or two, and the rest have been gifts from friends.
I asked some mom friends on Facebook, checked out a couple of “must-read” lists, and this is what I’ve liked so far. (Being a writer, I’m more influenced by the words than the the visuals.)
