We had a great weekend. We went up to Green Bay. Bill went camping with my dad, uncles, and cousins for a guy weekend. The kids and I stayed with my mom. We took the kids to Bay Beach on Saturday, and Madison had a blast. My plan is to get some pictures posted up a little later. Madison was so disappointed that we couldn’t go back again this weekend (we have some parties to go to and Bill’s parents are coming back from 2 weeks in Hawaii).
How was your weekend?
Yes, we allow Madison access to the internet. Does it scare me? Definitely. I will never forget when two of my aunts went searching for apple pie recipes. Let’s just say the first link they went to was not for the apple pie recipe they were looking for! They laugh about it now, but at the time, they were quite shocked. I can only imagine how my kids would react. If my aunts can accidentally get to those type of sites, I can only imagine what a four year old can do. That is why I am extremely happy that there are programs out there like Integard which have the features I need to protect my children. This program blocks pornography, blocks inappropriate words and phrases in chat sessions and email, alerts me of any suspicious conversations or activities, blocks the sending of personal information, remote monitoring, sets search engine into their safe search mode, and time limits. This is just a few of the things it can do. There is quit a long list of all things it does to protect your family. If you aren’t sure if this a good fit for your family, they do have a 14 day free trial. What do you have to lose besides your worrying about what your kids are getting into?
This month the Postie Carnival is at Skeet’s Stuff, and the topic this month is Easter and spring stories. I entered in my Easter Bonnet recipe.
Haven’t heard of the postie carnival before? Well, it is quite easy to participate in. The rules are simple:
1. Be an active Izea postie.
2. Email us at posties@inbox.com the link to your blog as well as the link to your favorite post.
3. Submissions must be entered no later than 6pm the day before the carnival. (The carnivals will be the 1st of every month).
4. Place a post on your blog directing other Posties to enter the carnival and then another post the day of the carnival directing readers to check the carnival out.
To make submitting easy, I have included a widget in my sidebar that you can use or this link.
Madison was invited to a birthday party yesterday. It was held at the gymnastics center close to our house. Who wouldn’t want ten 3-5 year olds running around? A bunch of us moms stayed and compared everything from jobs to husbands to anti-aging advice. That’s not why I love this party though. It went from 4:30 – 6:30. We got home around 7. Madison did her normal act like a crazy kid and bounce off the walls thing she normally does. Then about 7:30, she sat on Bill’s lap and was sleeping in less than five minutes. This is the same kid we fight with every night to go to bed. Needless to say, it was really nice. So, if anyone else wants to invite us to a kid party, we are so there!
