5 tech picks you won't want to miss this week
From photo magic to outlet genius, here are a few of our favorite discoveries on Cool Mom Tech from the last week, just in case you missed them. 
1. Here's a cool use for an old phone (remember those?) that would be a great Father's Day gift. Besides, you'll have fun stumping your kids.

2. A round-up of our favorite apps for kids, from each of our contributors, to help keep kids happy, educated and entertained on long car trips this summer.

3. We love this brilliant ebook app for kids, especially if your kid's class uses Scholastic Book Club.

4. These handy gadgets are a little bit of organizational genius for your plugs and cords. And super cheap!

5. Here's one of the best uses of QR codes we've ever seen. Probably because it involves beer. 
BONUS: Check out the first installment of our Cool Mom Picks Father's Day Gift Guide, which includes some of the coolest personalized gifts for dad (yes, even tech gifts!), with our next guide coming out tomorrow. Plus we're giving away an amazing $500 gift basket full of awesome goodies every dad will love.
