Best Kids Apps is a review blog for parents who want to find the best children’s iPhone, iPad, and Android applications without slogging through the entire  iTunes Store or Android Market.   A lot of app reviews are written by gamers.  Ours are written by moms. This site is the brainchild of two professional bloggers and iPhone enthusiasts who struggle daily for control of their phones with people who cannot reliably blow their own noses.
Jen Leo is the lead blogger for the Los Angeles Times Travel Blog, and her “Web Buzz” column can be found in the Travel print section.  She is a new mom, and the editor of the award-winning Sand in My Bra series from Traveler’s Tales. 
Jamie Pearson is a freelance writer, a mother of two, and the publisher of the popular family travel website Travel Savvy Mom.  At one time or another she has sold securities on Wall Street, scooped ice cream, and ghostwritten online dating profiles for people on match.com.  Maybe even yours.
