With all the adult content, hate group and social networking sites on the Internet how is a parent to know if their child is safe while using the computer?

This DVD gives you the information you need to keep your children safe and happy on the Internet. Divided up in chapters so they can be easily accessed this DVD includes sections on healthy internet habits, expert advice on setting up parental guidelines and even on social networking.
Review:
Do you have a teenager who is constantly on the computer? It can be as scary and nerve wracking as letting them borrow the car on a Friday night. In fact for me it was worse because I wasn’t sure what might be available for them to access and find.
The The Internet and Your Kids: Healthy Habits for a Safe Online Home DVD was the only thing I could find on keeping my teenager safe on the Internet. I was very glad it was so informative and helpful. I was lost and needed some advice and even though this was all I could find it gave me everything I need to know.
I can set up some parental codes now. I of course knew they were on the computer, but how do you know what to block. I mean yes there are sites you are going to automatically know to block, but those aren’t the only ones out there. It helped me to find the right things to block and how to use the block to make sure all these types of things were included.
The 16 healthy habits for Internet safety came in very handy. In just a few minutes I began to feel better about my teenager’s safety. Believe it or not my teenager was even pretty receptive to most of them. This even included some of the ideas about social networking and the MySpace site.
If you are concerned about your child and the Internet invest in this DVD. Even those of us who think we know may come away with some things that will be helpful. Keeping my child safe is of the utmost importance to me. This DVD and the expert advice it gave me has helped me to do just that.

This child’s gardening tool set comes with one handle and three interchangeable heads. There is included in the set a rake, a shovel and a fruit picker.
Review:
Most of my time is spent in my garden. My children like to be out there with me but I’m always afraid they will get hurt on the garden tools. I wanted them to be able to spend time with Mom, help in the garden if they wanted to and still be safe.
I found this little garden tool set. It has worked great with my children. Although I wish each tool had it’s own handle so both the kids could play at the same time. They still have a lot of fun with it and have decided to start their own garden next year.
The different tool heads are interchangeable. The kids have a great time with the shovel. I find small holes dug all over the yard. The rake is great too. The only thing is they haven’t really gotten down pat the fact that once they dig the hole they can use the rake to put the dirt back. I usually find it in the grass along the way.
I don’t think they have ever used the fruit picker. At least not to pick fruit with. It’s cute though and the kids have used it to catch the little golf balls and other items they find to throw back and forth.
This little garden set is a lot of fun for my children. It’s not used much in the garden, but they still find ways of entertaining themselves with it for hours. That’s enough for me because an entertained child is a happy child.

This canvas style bucket caddy fits over a 5 gallon bucket. There are pockets for all your gardening tools, your cell phone, a drink holder and even a place to put your seed packets.
Review:
I love to garden so I spend a lot of time there. Having everything I need in one place and readily available is important because once I’m there I don’t want to have to make a lot of trips back and forth. This caddy has been a life saver for me in that department.
It’s made of a very durable canvas. If it gets wet that’s ok. It doesn’t ruin it in any way. It has deep pockets so all my gardening tools fit in it very well. I like the idea that I can also have a place to put my cell phone. I have children so I keep my cell phone close all the time. I have to admit I’ve lost a few in the garden because I would lay it down then step on it or the dog would run off with it. It’s been a money saver in that department.
The area for the seed packets is pretty neat too. I have a terrible time getting my tools ect wet when I’m in the garden. The hose is not my friend that’s for sure. With the seed packet compartment my seeds stay dry and all in one place. No more looking all over them when the dogs carted them off somewhere.
The canvas fits right over a five gallon bucket. That’s great because now I don’t have to worry about standing all the time or taking that dreaded lawn chair that always gets in my way with me. I can just turn the bucket upside down, slip the caddy right over it and I have myself a chair with everything I need right there.
This garden caddy has been a wonderful purchase for me. If you have a garden or are thinking about starting one I recommend you try the Fiskars Garden Bucket Caddy. It’s the greatest thing since cherry tomatoes.

A complete guide on where to find the bargains, how to shop and where to shop online. It lists over 35 categories to look through, tells you how to stay safe buying online and supplies a list of some of the best websites to shop at online.
Review:
I hate to shop. Going to the store, looking around, fighting the people, fighting the checkout, all of it I just hate doing it. Shopping online is a little better experience for me but then I’ve been through some credit card fraud so I wasn’t feeling real safe there either. I decided though that if I have to shop I would rather do it in the comfort of my home. So I went shopping for a guide to help me with my fears. I found this one, ordered it (yes online) and now I do almost all my shopping online.
I have found a guide that is simple to read and understand. It tells me everything I need to know about shopping online. There are numerous categories and I haven’t come up with a single one yet that isn’t in there. There is also a list that seems to go on and on of websites you can go to.
My favorite part is the one regarding safety. It explains in great detail about being safe when buying online. The part of how to determine if a merchant is safe was great. It gave my anxieties a little rest. Being a person who has been taken before I was very skeptical but this information helped to ease some of that and gave me a sense that it could be safe. Plus it told me a few good ideas on how to pay online with things such as PayPal. I don’t have to use a credit/debit card if I don’t want too. What a relief. I thought that was the only way to pay for a purchase. I know better thanks to this book.
I still hate to shop but it’s much easier to deal with now that I can just go online and find just about anything I’m looking for. I find the bargains, feel safe when I pay and get my merchandise without having to deal with all the hassles.
