Creating and Maintaining a Child Safe Email Account {Tech Tuesday}

Feel free to follow my blog with Bloglovin. Protecting children when they are online can be a daunting and difficult task. In truth, the safest child is the offline child; however, that is also an unacceptable solution (especially when you consider the fact that you’re reading a post about secure email for children). One of the activities my daughter loves to do is to send emails to her friends and relatives. However, email is also the most common source of unsolicited communication on the internet (hence why many mail services provide spam filtering and the like). We knew we needed … Continue reading →

Vitamix Blender Black

I am a smoothie girl! I make smoothies on a daily basis. Before owning a Vitamix Blender, one of the things that I disliked about making smoothies was the clean up! I was always scared that I would cut myself on the blade of the blender and I found it time consuming to take the blender apart into pieces in order to clean it properly. Clean Up with the Vitamix Blender is a BREEZE! Clean up involves the lid and the blender container, no extra parts to take apart. My smoothie routine is as follows: Dump all smoothie ingredients into … Continue reading →

I feel happy, re-energized and refreshed. I’ve got a fun idea for the next time you head out to lunch with a friend! Head out for lunch and try one of Wendy’s Salads. The … Continue reading →
