Creating a Kid-friendly space to use the internet is something most parents are after. The web is a great place full of knowledge, creativity, and new ideas. It can also be a dark place filled with vulgar language, images, and videos. The worst part is that it’s so easy to quickly jump from something benign to something your kids can’t unsee. All it takes is a search for one thing, a click, and suddenly, kid-friendly internet becomes a scary space filling our children’s minds with images and questions that we weren’t prepared to answer just yet. Keeping the Internet Kid-Friendly Of course, safety comes in the form of filtering out unwanted content for the kids, but it also takes on another form. Protecting the kids by setting limits and creating balance. Right now, my tween daughter is online waaaayyyy too much. That is worrisome. It’s like her iPod is hardwired into her brain sometimes. In my opinion, being connected to the internet so much sometimes keeps her from connecting to the world around her, so I have to protect her from herself, as well as what’s lurking out there. [tweetthis]Enter now to win Kids WIFI gadget, KIWI. Keep them safe when searching the Internet. #KIWIKIDS #Giveaway[/tweetthis] I’ve recently been using a device called KidsWifi which helps me to keep my children’s internet experience safe and controlled, and I love it. With this device, I filter out unwanted content and control when and how much internet access my children have. It’s made the internet much less of a headache for me, and my kids have been pretty good about it. So it’s a win all the way around! Kid-Friendly Internet with KidsWifi KidsWifi is an easy to use, easy to set up plug-and-play solution for kid-friendly internet usage. It blocks adult content, gambling, illegal downloads, shifty websites, identity trackers, and more. Basically, it blocks any and everything I don’t want my kids seeing and/or doing. In addition, the parental dashboard allows me to set bedtimes, remotely pause internet access, and view recent websites. My girls are 12 and 15. It’s harder and harder to say put the iPod away it’s 9:30, or put the iPod down we are eating dinner and No Electronics at the table. Words, and verbal warnings are sometimes not enough to generate a response from a distracted tween. Frankly my biggest challenge here with the younger one is Netflix. She loves a few shows on Netflix and gets so into watching them on her devices that she literally can’t stop watching. Now, I can help her to stop with KIWI. I’m in control of my children’s internet, and these days, that’s a good thing! ALSO: KIWI KidsWIFI gadget has two different levels of filters so you can program it to be safe for younger children, or children who are a bit older, as mine are. My own business wifi is sluggish and can be stressed when the kid’s friends are over and we are all using the same wifi connection, so KIWI KIDSWIFI solves that issue too. You can add several devices at a time. My youngest and her friends are using it right now exclusively when they browse in our home. This is a Canadian company built in Waterloo, my old stomping ground, so that makes me happy. I’m glad to say that my daughter’s internet usage has been curbed a bit, with minimal wailing and gnashing of teeth. In fact, she’s been interacting with the entire family a lot more. I also feel good knowing that my younger daughter is protected from accidentally surfing into some of the murkier waters of the internet. ENTER NOW TO WIN Kid-Friendly INTERNET: If you’re interested in keeping the internet kid-friendly, I encourage you to give KidsWifi a try. It’s extremely simple to set up. Watch the video and my daughter will tell you a bit more about it. I received one of these gadgets for purposes of this post and I also have one to gift to a lucky reader. This sells for a very affordable $99 and is really compact and cute. My opinion is all my own and it is always truthful. RIGHT NOW YOU CAN GET A $20 discount off the price tag of a device use the code THRIFTYMOMMA and save!! (offer ended October 1st.) Enter for a chance to win below.

With Yak Communications, financial freedom and the freedom to stay connected go hand-in-hand. In this day and age, it’s important to stay connected to family and friends. Whether it’s for social networking, business, or purely for safety, we all need to be able to make calls or connect to the internet easily, almost without giving it a second thought and we need to do it without sacrificing something else in the process of staying connected. Yak Communications makes that possible. Financial Freedom and the Freedom to Stay Connected with Yak Yak Communications is a telecommunication company with a wonderful combination of speed, price-point, and customer service. Yak Communications is no conglomerate behemoth. It’s a smaller company, and while you might think that a smaller company means smaller performance and higher price, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Yak Communications is a company specializing in keeping you connected with high speeds and low prices, and their customer service is second to none. I read a great article about Yak recently and it got me thinking about finally making the switch. We’ve been thinking about switching from our provider. Our internet speed is passable at best, the price is too high, and the customer service is akin to being part of the Spanish Inquisition when we have a problem. I don’t like ANY of that. It infuriates me as a loyal customer in good standing. Yak Communications is a flexible company that offers a variety of communication services that meets any family’s needs, and I think that’s great. There are no cookie cutter plans here. Yak works with what works for you and your area. They provide DSL and Cable internet connectivity, home phone, long distance, and mobile options. Whatever you need, Yak Communications can help you. I think that’s pretty great, because I hate to be pigeon holed. In addition to a variety of services, they provide a variety of tiers for your perfect balance of performance and savings. I know most of us want the absolute highest speeds, but sometimes, you have to consider finances. With Yak Communications, you have the freedom to do just that! You’re also free from worry, because Yak technicians come to your house and set everything up. They do it quickly and knowledgeably. Yay! Here’s a run down of the great options you can get with Yak Communications. Home Phone: Phone service at home or on-the-go with their YApp Mobile app. It gives you all the features you love in your home phone service without the high cost or a contract. Phone plans offer 11 free features, plus hundreds of free North American long distance calling minutes each month and you can keep your current phone number. (I love that I wouldn’t need to memorize a new phone number with Yak.) Internet: Available in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, and British Columbia, internet service from Yak Communications is fast and affordable. Pay attention to this – because I think it’s great. There are NO overage charges. Your data is unlimited right out of the gate with their Cable internet, and you can purchase an Unlimited plan for their DSL service. Mobile: YApp, YApp Callback, and Access Number, you can see a dramatic savings on local and long distance calling. These services can help you nip your mobile plan’s long distance charges in the bud. Long Distance: With Yak Communications, you’ll have a fairly priced, contract free long distance option that helps you save a ton on long distance calling. By the way, Yak is contract free! They have 100% Canadian customer service (call centre is based in Windsor, Ontario and head office is in Toronto). Give Yak Communications a Try with this Giveaway I think Yak Communications is great. I’ve been falling out of love with my current internet provider for a while now, and Yak is starting to catch my eye. I love their flexible plans, fair pricing, and the freedom that they offer. I think they’re my answer, and I think they could be the answer for you. If you want to give Yak a try, here’s your chance. Right now, you could win a $200 Visa Gift Card AND a $200 Yak Credit. It’s a great way to dip your feet into the Yak Communications water and get a little spending money on top of it. Good luck. Fingers crossed that you win! =D This post has been generously sponsored by Yak Communications. Entry-Form
