#2: "FLUSHD"
Flushd is an app that uses satellite technology to reveal every public restroom in your geographic vicinity. But here’s what makes it great for moms; you can refine your search based on which ones have baby-changing stations! And if you’re really picky, some of the bathrooms include photos! Right now I just change Alexandra in the car but soon she’ll be too big for that. I love that this app takes away any guessing about which public restroom to stop in. It’ll save me a lot of aggravation! Anyone can get this app because it’s FREE on iTunes!
#3. CLOUD BABY MONITOR APP
If I can’t see her I can’t do anything so I always bring the bassinet in so I can watch her while I shower! One morning I was getting up early for a shoot and, since it was the middle of the night, I thought, “She’ll be asleep. I’m gonna hop in the shower.” The second I get in she starts screaming at the top of her lungs! But with the help of video baby monitors, I can do so much more because I can see her even when I’m not with her. Now, normally video monitors can cost $200 but for $3.99 you can download the "Cloud Baby Monitor" app. You purchase the app on 2 devices (2 iphones or ipads); one device functions as the child unit and the other as the parent unit. Open both apps then decide which device serves as the parent and will serve as the child. I use the iPad for the parent unit and it stays with Jon and me in the family room, while the phone stays with Alexandra.
