VTech Kid Connect and Innotab 3S Giveaway
Disclosure: I was provided by VTech with a subscription to Premium Kid Connect to facilitate this review. VTech is supplying the Innotab 3S for the giveaway.
I recently told you about the cool VTech Innotab 3S that my boys have really been enjoying, but now that tablet has become even cooler. We finally installed the VTech Kid Connect which allows my boys can send me text messages from their Innotab 3S directly to my mobile phone anytime and anywhere. To me the beauty of this is that we are on a safe and secure system that only allows them to text approved devices. No chance of them texting the wrong person, or more importantly have a stranger text them! And although we don’t have a second InnoTab 3S, if we did, our kids could safely text message each other directly. I think it would be fun if my in-laws were to get an Innotab 3S for our niece and nephew so my sons could stay in touch with their cousins, whom they love dearly. I know hijinx would ensue as soon as those 5 got a hold of Kid Connect. They would be talking to each other every chance they got. Which for us would be a wonderful relationship builder.
As the mom of a child with autism, I know how important it is to build connections between my child and other kids. With Kid Connect my boys can talk to friends, each other, and me and my husband in a very safe environment. They still get the thrill of using an electronic device, and I get the piece of mind that we know exactly who they are communicating with. Such a win-win situation!
VTech Kid Connect app is available through the Apple App Store and Google Play, and the Innotab 3S comes with a one years subscription to Basic Kid Connect.We got a chance to try out the Premium Kid Connect subscription and it is super fun! My boys have really enjoyed sending me voice message, photos and drawings. I have actually loved sending drawings back to them, but I think they like getting the voice messages the best. For the first two weeks after registration of your InnoTab 3S, a Deluxe Apps package with Premium Kid Connect is available for $14.99. The package also includes Movie Maker (a $7.99 value), a stop-motion animation app that lets kids become movie directors. Once the two week promotional period is over, Premium Kid Connect can be purchased separately for $14.99.

GIVEAWAY
The Children’s Place $500 Gift Card Giveaway
Disclosure: This giveaway has been sponsored by The Children’s Place and hosted by Kidsumers. I have not been compensated and all opinions are my own.
What boy wouldn’t look amazing in this cute and sophisticated school uniform from The Children’s Place? I love the simple classic styling and even though my boys don’t have to wear a uniform I still find this to be a great option. I have several friends that have children that always look put together and polished. I know for a fact that these children dress in a “uniform” the mom has picked out for them.
When I was growing up, I went to a school that required a uniform and mine was never this cute. I would have loved to wear a flattering outfit that fit the schools requirements yet still allowed me to look perfectly polished.
This outfit would have been perfect. Today The Children’s Place wants to make your children’s back-to-school uniform shopping a snap with really adorable and affordable school-wear. They are also offering a chance to win a $500 The Children’s Place Gift Certificate so one lucky winner can go on a back-to-school-uniform-shopping-spree! I know I will be shopping at The Children’s Place to pick up classic outfits for the boys so that they can look pulled together and always appropriate.
If you have a child that does wear a uniform, what better place than The Children’s Place, to pick up all the essentials that make uniform dressing so easy. All you need now is an entry into the contest and maybe a cute pair of saddle shoes!
