Does the idea of your kids playing on the internet freak you out? Yup, me too. I'm sharing some simple Internet Safety Tips for Families that every parent needs to know.
Thank you to Sophos Home for collaborating on this post.
When Lydia was born, I swore we'd be a no screen time family. Well, like many other things I said BEFORE having a child…..that wasn't realistic. The truth is, our children live in a WORLD filled with technology. From smart phones to tablets, children are exposed to the Internet at a VERY early age. One of my main concerns? Safety on the Internet. As Lydia gets older…..I want to control what she (and our bank account) is exposed to. We've all heard the horror stories, right? From online chats to identity theft…..the Internet is amazing resource, but can also be a source of serious danger.
Internet Safety Tips for Families that Every Parent Should Know:
(these tips are perfect for sharing with your kidd0s)
No Personal Information: Do not give any personal information to anyone you meet online. Last name, address, school name, favorite playground…..NONE OF IT.
Downloading: Ask your parents before downloading any file from the Internet.
Communicate: Discuss anything that makes you feel uncomfortable with your parents. They can help you determine what to do!
Pictures: Think carefully before uploading pictures to the internet…….avoid pictures that show addresses or specific locations!
Passwords: Do not give out your password to ANYONE online…….passwords should be stored in a safe place.
Cyberbullying: The Internet is an extension of the REAL world. Treat others as you would in real life when interacting with them online.

💕I FOUND IT! (birth control conversation loading)……⠀
⠀
💕I’ve been talking about my desire to use hormone-free birth control since Lydia was born. And, let me tell you…finding an option that was right for me was more difficult than I thought. While I loved tracking my cycle (and still do)…. I felt that wasn’t enough. And the other options I tried? Not quite right for me.⠀
⠀
💕A couple months ago, I started seeing ads for Phexxi ®. A non-hormonal, female centered birth control option. Well, I’m clearly their target audience because…..I’m excited to share that I’m trying it out and reporting back.⠀

💕Phexxi’s parent company has a female CEO (extra points, am I right) and I love that they are focused on empowering women when it comes to birth control. Phexxi ® is a use when you need it birth control method, and for me? It’s the perfect option to try!⠀
