My Secret Circle b.f.f. pack review and giveaway!













Hi Neighbors!

Glad to see you out At the Fence today.  Here is our second Fall Festival Post.  Remember I will not be doing posts on Sunday.  This product created by Scenario is called My Secret Circle and fits very well into our Fall Festival as an activity to do inside when it is cooling off outside.  My Secret Circle is a portable electronic journal that offers an online secure social networking world for girls.  This portable electronic journal, plugs in to a USB port.  Through this, they can write in their journal, create photo pages and scrapbook in a digital world where everything can either be kept private or shared with their selected friends.  The security for your child's safety is actually well set up.  Only a live person that they share a special code with, and who has a My Secret Friends Access Key themselves may join their circle of friends.  The portable electronic journal comes on a key-chain type attachment so they can carry it with them whenever they want to. 



I personally did not try mine as it was for giveaway, but I have the added benefit of a daughter who has one.  The only person she is connected with is her sister.  When they use My Secret Circle they are able to play games, Im each other, share photos, etc.  They really think it is neat because it is their Secret Circle. Obviously parental supervision is the best supervision for any use of the internet.  Make sure you know your children's friends.


Here is how My Secret Circle maintains your child's safety:

"1. Utilizing proprietary technology, the My Secret Circle Access Key™ contains an embedded code that is recognized by My Secret Circle’s™ private browser when connected to your computer. Because this unique code is located in a hardware solution; no personal information, registration or login is ever needed—and no one from the outside world can seek your child out. Also while entered into the My Secret Circle world— the internet navigation bar is completely stripped away—meaning your child can never navigate outside of the circle to other websites.
2. My Secret Circle™ users must invite and exchange unique charms codes with real-life friends. My Secret Circle Friend Code™ Generator generates a unique 12 digit number. This number (Friend Code) must be exchanged through our invitation system.
The invitation system allows your child to print out her Friend Code and create an envelope to trade her Friend Code in person with a real friend of her choice. In order to become “friends,” each girl must own a My Secret Circle Access Key™ and each girl must exchange a Friend Code. Once your child has exchanged a 12 digit number (Friend Code) with her friend, she must upload it into the “Friend Section” of the My Secret Circle. After inputting this code you will see that your real-life friend has been accepted to access your secret circle.
The 12 digit number (Friend Code) is only good for one time use for one friend. It can never be reused by other non-approved friends. Anytime your child would like to add another “friend” to her circle, she must generate a new Friend Code, and her friend must own the access key.

Unlike other social network or gaming site, you—as a parent—can know who your child is communicating with at all times."

My Secret Circle is basically it's own little  world, where strangers can not approach your child, there are no advertisements to click on and they can not explore the internet while using my Secret Circle because the navigation bar is taken away.  They can only access the options available on My Secret Circle.



There are also some accessories you can purchase extra Access Keys, a My Secret Circle Voice-Chat Headset, and My Secret Circle Snap Caps.  Ny Secret Circle is available through etailers Amazon and Target. My Secret Circle is also available in Target Stores.

My favorite feature is the security of using a code that you can only use one time, for one person. So that I know who my child is communicating with.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

 Hey neighbors, its with a heavy heart I let you all know that my mom (Lori) unexpectedly passed away the end of June. Our family has been taking the time between now and then to be together and remember what a light mom was. I came on towards the end of last year and was planning on fully moving my interviews and review to this website. I intend to to so partially to keep mommas beautiful website going. Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy
