Top 50 iPhone Apps for Moms
About a week after I began using my iPhone, I was in love. I had a calendar with me at all times, and I was able to stay on top of my family's schedule - even though there are six of us! I had email access while I was out, so I wasn't constantly playing catch up with PTO business in the evening. And then I discovered apps! With these programs, I could track my baby's feeding schedule, my family's illnesses, and my attempts at exercise. And there were apps that could help keep my children entertained and educated! My iPhone was quickly becoming a vital tool that made my busy mom life more manageable.
In January 2009 I began a website, The iPhone Mom, dedicated to helping moms find apps that could do the same for them. Since beginning the site, I've seen both the quantity and quality of useful apps for moms grow.
Babble.com asked me to put together a list of my Top 50 iPhone Apps for Moms. Here, in descending order, are my favorites and the ones I think you'll find most useful.

Edibles-Diet Journal

Edibles-Diet Journal is a thorough app for tracking and recording diet progress. It works as both a food journal and weight log. Edibles tracks calories, but you can customize it to track carbs, sodium, points, etc. (Note: You can only track one thing at a time, though personally I like that simplicity. Dieting is hard enough and I need to keep things as easy as I can.) I have Edibles set up to track points and it keeps a daily and weekly count for me. Edibles will connect to an online database of over 500,000 different foods but it also saves the foods you enter on your iPhone so you don’t have to do a search every time. I appreciate this feature because I am a creature of habit, especially when I’m dieting, and I tend to eat the same foods over and over again. The weight log portion of Edibles allows you to record your weight and mark your progress toward your diet goal. It also tells you your BMI number so you can track those changes as well.
