Tax Apps Make Doing Your Taxes Easier
April showers bring May flowers…and April also brings the dreaded deadline for filing your yucky taxes. If you haven’t done yours yet and you aren’t planning on filing an extension, you have just enough time to get moving and get ‘em done.
What Is Pair?
In a relationship? Staying connected usually entails an arsenal of apps and devices for e-mailing, Skyping, phoning and texting. When you are in love — especially a new relationship — you want to share everything with your partner, all the time. A new app called Pair aims to simplify your quest for constant contact.
Looking for Girl Scout Cookies? There’s An App for That
Thanks to Facebook, I am being given many, many opportunities to buy Girl Scout Cookies. Unfortunately, most of them live either way across the huge metropolis that is Los Angeles, or clear across the country. Since there is only a Cub Scout in my own household, I’ve had to find another way to get my yearly fix.
What Is Emma?
I love Craigslist as much as the next person. How else do you think I unloaded all the baby stuff I don’t need anymore? However, sometimes it can be downright creepy dealing with some of the people out there who want to buy what I’m selling.

Evernote: Organize Your Personal and Business Lives
I used to have a daily planner – a bee-u-tee-ful leather-bound, chunky book that was bursting with sticky notes and was essentially my brain, and I couldn’t function properly without consulting it first. Then, I slowly moved towards technology to solve my organizing woes, but I never found anything that compared with the notes I was able to take and reference back and forth on that written planner until I found Evernote.
Apps to Help Your Kids Get Ready for Back-to-School
Are you bummed that summer is ending, or ecstatic to be shipping everyone back to school? Either way, implementing some techie tips to get your kids organized not only makes your life easier, but also teaches them to take responsibility too.
What is MyAssist Virtual Assistant?
Have you ever thought you needed a personal assistant? Even if you don’t live in Los Angeles where it seems everyone has one, no one needs an extra hand more than a working mom. MyAssist is a new service that you can customize according to how much you plan to use it, for personal use, business use, or both.
Aloqa App: Find Everything Faster
Sometimes your smartphone can do so many things that it’s a little overwhelming – I mean, I know I can find a million Starbucks locations with my Android. But when I’m standing on a corner in Santa Barbara after I hit up the zoo with my kids and I’m looking for one, I want to find one, fast. Probably a McDonalds for the kids too while I’m at it. I certainly don’t want to be scrolling around looking for locations and directions, so I downloaded an app called Aloqa.
