Mother's Day is Sunday, May 13th!

ByMike Moffit

This year, we’re focusing on the “Mobile Mom”—you know, the one who, instead of hanging around the house and letting her husband fix anything technical, is constantly on-the-go and uses technology to help get things done.

Check out our Mother’s Day page for some great specials and products for mom here: Smalldog.com/mom

Check out our top 5 apps for Mobile Moms below:

The modern Mobile Mom may still cook, but she uses Epicurious to do it. She keeps track of the kids, but now she might even consider Family Tracker to do it.

Here are my Top 5 apps for a Mobile Mom:

Pinterest, free
Admittedly, I’m a bit obsessed with this myself. From design inspiration to DIY projects, I “pin” the web to make bookmarks easier to find—visually.

Marble Jar, $1.99
Little G isn’t old enough for this yet, but many of my friends rave about this app and its ability to help raise “responsible, competent kids.” Listed among the top 10 apps by Parents.com and voted among the top 50 by Babble in 2011.

TellMeLater, $0.99
I love this app for its simplicity. The interface is clean and it does what it says—simply enter a to-do with a time and it will tell you later (when you need it). Perfect for basic reminders like “Call the Doctor” and “Wish Beth Happy Birthday!”

Magic Hour, $1.99
It’s similar to Instagram, but with custom options. It has built-in and user-created filters, plus you can make your own. Capture those memories, moms!

Grocery iQ, free
Save money on the thing you need most: food. Grocery iQ is integrated with coupons as well, so you can see what’s on sale. A must for the Mobile Mom who wants to make grocery shopping quick and painless.

  • Protecting Your Photographs

    Let me ask you a few questions: Do you have a digital camera? How many megapixels does your camera shoot? How many years and how many photos do you have on your computer? Now imagine this… tomorrow morning you wake up and turn your computer on. It boots slower than normal and all you see is a flashing question mark on a gray screen. Your heart drops and you start to think about all of the memories that made up your iPhoto library.

    The purpose of all this is to get you thinking about how many pictures you take every week and what would happen if one day you lost all of them. Could be 10 days or 10 years of photos; either way your losing all of those precious memories. Your best solution is to backup your files. The key to a true backup is to have your files in two places. My suggestion is to purchase a pair of identical external hard drives. Several hard drive units ranging from 250 gigabytes to 2 terabytes are becoming more and more affordable.

    When you’re finished with your photo shoot, birthday party or vacation, store your photos on your computer and then back it up to your external hard drive. It may also be good to store your external hard drive in a different location than your computer and pull it out once a week to backup your new work. I like to go one step further and backup my backup. My setup includes my MacBook which is backed up onto an external hard drive which is then mirrored to a second external hard dive. This allows me to delete some photos off my MacBook to free up space while still leaving my photos on two different locations.
