Just a reminder that I'm in the process of moving my blog here: Journey of a Heart Set Free. I've posted an update on my littlest Prince. Please come check it out!
I am finishing up school for the semester, both mine and the kids' and getting ready for Christmas, which is sandwiched by two birthdays. Also on the agenda, after Christmas break from school (so... after next week!), I am moving all my blog posts and everything to Journey of a Heart Set Free . I am Learning so much in this process! Anyway, while I may be tempted to avoid my responsibilities at home, I won't be able to post again until after Christmas. SO, Merry Christmas to all!
For years our family has had an internet filtering program on our home computers- for obvious reasons. We had a subscrtption with NetNanny for quite a few years. This year when it came time to renew our subscription, I had some questions about using the program for mobile devices: smart phones, iPads, PSPs, etc (not that we have any of those things, but Hero is hoping to purchase an iPad in the not too distant future and Prince Valiant is saving his money for a PSP). Netnanny offers text filtering, but no website blocking on mobile devices.
So, I went hunting a comparable program which offers more mobile protection. I found exactly what I was looking for in Safe Eyes. It offers the same amount of protection as NetNanny did as well as the mobile protection we might need in the future AND the price was better, by about $10. I made the switch and we have been very happy so far.
Hero and I have talked about just dropping this expense from our yearly budget; I do trust that he can say no and turn his eyes away should he come across anything unacceptable online. We chose to keep this expense for two reasons: 1) to protect the kids, you just never know sometimes what might pop-up with a seemingly bengin webpage; 2) there is no reason to dangle temptation in front of anyone- this program offers our family another layer of protection and accountability.
