Kids spend a lot of time on the Internet and it's important for parents to show their children how to be safe and should filter what they see.
The top tips that they recommend to kids are:
1. The Internet is Forever. It'll always be there so it's important to be sure everything's private!
2. Don't put personal information online.
3. Don't forget about smartphone cyber-safety. Don't accept phone calls or texts from strangers.
4. Handle hacking intelligently.

More and more families are becoming more eco-conscious and have decided to go for cloth diapering. But not everyone's convinced of the benefits of using cloth diapers and that's why we've prepared for you the main reasons to switching from regular disposable diapers to cloth diapers!
- Save a lot of money. Depending on which cloth diapering system you decide to use, you can save approximately $1,500 per child!
- Prevent waste. Based on a report from the Women's Environmental Network, The Real Diaper Association reports:
- Disposable diapers are the third most common consumer product in landfills today.
- A disposable diaper may take up to 500 years to decompose.
- One baby in disposable diapers will contribute at least 1 ton of waste to your local landfill.
- It's convenient. A lot of cloth diapers are designed to prevent leaks and you'll never run out of them!
- Baby's more comfortable. Cloth diapers allow for better airflow, which helps the moisture that’s sitting on the baby’s skin to evaporate, leaving your baby drier and less prone to diaper rash.
- More fashionable! You can find a lot of trendy cloth diapers that have been crafted with chic and ease of use in mind.
So, what do you think? Do you think you're going to switch to cloth diapers now? Let us know about your choices! :)
