YellowBrck is a new location-based social network mobile application created for moms and dads on the go. By downloading the free YellowBrck Iphone/Ipad app in the App Store, parents can easily share their activities and locations with friends and other parents, as well as score special savings incentives from retailers.
YellowBrck was created as a way to connect parents, help them share tips on ways to keep their children entertained, and learn about the latest family spots and events nationwide. By checking into YellowBrck on a regular basis, users are able to earn discounts and rewards from their favorite retailers.
YellowBrck emphasizes the social aspect, allowing parents to meet up with nearby parents, keep tabs on what activities their friends are doing, and discover family-friendly places in their neighborhood. An impromptu playdate at the park or a last-minute trip to the museum is easily shared on YellowBrck for others to join in.
Parents are also able to check-in for everyday tasks pre-listed on the app, including potty training and getting dressed, with the chance to “win” virtual stickers and real world savings from online and brick & mortar retailers, including Totsy, Ecomom, Dapple, Abe’s Market, Torly Kid, and many more.

Crawling and scooting babies have a new motivation- Squeeky Knees is a product collection featuring a patent-pending squeaker device sewn into garments that creates a fun squeaking sound when baby is on the go. Whether they are crawling on hardwood floors or taking their first steps (and falls), Squeeky Knees are designed to encourage babies to be mobile.
Lisa Day Evans created Squeeky Knees in 2010 after watching her son Elijah learning to crawl on hard surfaces. She realized he needed something comfortable to cushion his knees and prevent abrasions that also inspired him to explore his newfound ability to crawl.
A few additional Squeeky Knees features:
-Cushioned squeaker device in knee and butt regions add comfort
-Alerts parents to baby’s location with the squeaking sounds
-Washable/dryable in standard machines
Lisa partnered with Right Bank Babies, a collection of Parisian-inspired children’s clothing, to create unique Squeeky Knees styles, including knee highs, jeans, pants, overalls/onesies, and stockings/leggings. Squeeky Knees retail for $25 to $80 and are sold at www.rightbankbabies.com, as well as other fine boutiques that carry Right Bank Babies.
