Mother’s Day tech gifts are completely underrated. As much as we will always love receiving flowers and chocolate for Mother’s Day (seriously, bring it on!) we’d never say no to an awesome Mother’s Day tech gift.

I love listening to music, audiobooks or podcasts (like Spawned of course!) when I’m outside. But there are so many times it’s not really safe for us to completely tune out our surroundings, like when I’m running alone at 6 AM, or should I be pushing a stroller down a busy sidewalk, I’ve been looking for […]
