As working parents in the Seattle area, we know the negotiating, juggling, and trade-offs required to keep up with increasingly busy kids. We've left work early only to show up at the same soccer field as our neighbor. Or hesitated to sign up for that cool summer camp because we couldn't get our daughter there every day. We are excited about the power of technology to foster community and make the lives of busy parents just a little bit easier.
