Whether you’re a mom on the go or a stay-at-home mom looking for a way to relax at the end of the day, finding time to unwind is easy with the right apps for your mobile phone or tablet. From virtual flower gardens to yoga rhythms, you’ll find your stress melting away when you download these five apps to help you relax.
Koi Live Wallpaper
Live wallpaper for your mobile phone is like candy to a busy mom — and you don’t even have to share it with your kiddos if you don’t want to! This popular android app is both entertaining and comforting, giving you the serenity of a koi pond without worrying about your youngsters falling in. The water and fish respond to your touch and double tapping the screen will have hungry fish swimming for their food. Kittehface Software also offers a free version of this app which is just as relaxing, but the temptation to change the background, customize koi and toss in soothing droplets of rain is too much to resist, especially at only 99 cents.

Enjoy the soothing sounds of the ocean when trying to catch up on your slumber while Junior naps? Or, wish you could calm your frazzled nerves after a hectic day? Then turn a stressful day into a tranquil moment with Desenvdroid’s free soothing sounds app. Tune into the sounds of the forest, veg out to the pitter patter of rain drops or relax to the sounds of the rolling ocean waves. The best part about this sound spa app? It’s also great for kiddos who are light sleepers as well. Get this app >>

Zen Garden Lite
Everyone raves about the tranquil power of a Zen garden, but the perils of little ones and sand is usually a recipe for disaster. However, when you house your Zen garden on your android phone or tablet, all you’ll have to worry about is where to place flowers, rocks and other Zen-like structures. Relax to the peaceful sounds of the two background tracks, or soothe your soul while dragging a “rake” or your finger through the sand. This EasyLivin Apps program is the yin to any busy mom’s yang — without costing you a dime. Get this app >>
