Best Gear for New Parents Returning to Work

Any parent will tell you juggling kids, the family and work is a balancing act. You want to be in all places at all times, but there just isn’t enough time in the day.

What there is though, are some powerful tech innovations that can make it easier on a working parent feeling more connected to home.


LIGHTHOUSE AI CAMERA

The only AI camera that lets you ask what happened at home, gives real-life updates, sends security alerts. And get notified about activities specific to your life at home. This Lighthouse camera blows away any other in-home camera system I have experienced. The idea that its better than Alexa when you ask it things like, “are the kids home from school?” I also love the idea that it’s so smart and intuitive that my child could wave at the Lighthouse Cam to get my attention. Lighthouse AI Camera $299

HALLMARK RECORDABLE STORYBOOK

These adorable children books let you record your voice easily so that when you are away from home, they can hear you read to them through the storybook. There is an option to preserve your voice forever. Hallmark Recordable Storybook $29

NEST HELLO VIDEO DOORBELL

The doorbell you’ve been waiting for.
Nest Hello lets you know who’s there, so you never miss a thing. It replaces your existing wired doorbell and delivers HD video and bright, crisp images, even at night. It’s designed to show you everything at your doorstep – people head to toe or packages on the ground. And with 24/7 streaming, you can check in anytime. Nest Hello Video Doorbell $229


NIXPLAY SEED 10.1 INCH WIFI DIGITAL PHOTO FRAME

This is the most ingenious photo frame I have ever experienced. Easiest way to get photos from you phone, social media platforms, and by inviting others to post photos in your Nixplay Seed frame. I like the solid app performance and simple setup. Nixplay Seed 10.1inch Wifi Digital Photo Frame $169

Great for a 3 min chill at work. Muse: the brain sensing headband that elevates your meditation experience.
