Jennifer Garner and Frigidaire Team Together For Change!

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

This afternoon Frigidaire announced that Jennifer Garner as their new celebrity ambassador! I love it! She’s not only beautiful but definitely relateable. Jennifer will be introduce Frigidaire’s new line of appliances. These new appliance are designed with features that help save time in our busy schedules. Jennifer will also be a part of Frigidaire’s new “Make Time for CHANGE (Creating Healthy, Active, and Nurturing Growing-up Environments)” campaign that supports Save the Children’s U.S. Programs. They are dedicated to making a difference in children’s lives. Save the Children created the CHANGE program to promote healthier lifestyles for children living in poverty by providing nutritious snacks and regular opportunities for them to be physically active.

Starting today, everyone who goes to Frigidaire.com and pledges to make time for a child, Frigidaire will donate $1 to support the CHANGE. As an added bonus, everyone who pledges her time will be entered for a chance to win a new Frigidaire Professional double wall oven.

I hope to see you over there making a difference in children’s lives.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Frigidaire and received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.

NetSmartz

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

The internet can be a really scary thing nowadays. As an adult, we sometimes can get tangled up in sites and things we shouldn’t. Being that our kids are so tech savvy nowadays, it worries me. Madison is only five, and she can easily get on the internet and over to Noggin.com. If she can do that at five, I am afraid of what the teenage years can and will bring. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has really stepped up to the plate to the challenge of educating our children. They used their expertise to develop NetSmartz. This is site the educates, engages, and empowers kids as internet users. The site has seven teen characters. There are bios, comics, and videos of all these characters. You can read and watch about social networking, improper internet usage, cyberbullying, and offline consequences just to name a few. The videos even have real teens on them also.  You still need to have a conversation with your teens about appropriate online behavior, but this sure opens up the conversation for you.
