The best of our latest crop of apps from theiphonemom.com! TheiPhoneMom.com January 9, 2013 Newsletter Now that the holidays are over, and school is back in session, we come to the other annual winter tradition -- the yearly assault of school illnesses!  My husband and I often joke that our kids are sick every year from November through May. Having just been visited by a particularly nasty virus, I know what it's like keeping a houseful of kids entertained while you (and they) recuperate.  To help you stay sane, we have our selection of great apps from the last few weeks below.  We hope you all manage to stay healthy during this new year! One new app that is sure to keep any kid occupied is Monsters of Rock, the new Luna Kettlebottom and the Magical Cauldron Society adventure. We are huge Luna fans at TheiPhoneMom and eagerly await each new installment in these fairytale inspired stories.  Luna interactive stories are always high quality and free to encourage reading while the games have a small cost.  A full review is forthcoming, but meanwhile enjoy Monsters of Rock today!

 It's Epic...and it's a clock, It's Epic Clock!

Wow...how cheesy of me.

 Anyway, I don't know if you know but...we have another little app that just keeps getting a little more popular each day. It's animated and you can set the sound-birds chirping, waterfalls, etc. My husband, Sam created this painting years ago and just recently made it an app. I have the original hanging in my bedroom. I'm lucky to have an artist hubby! Check it out...
