Table and Chair Sets for Kids – The Best Seat in the House for Kids Activities

Baby Monitors with a Camera: What Are the Top Rated Baby Monitors?
In this article, we are going to look at baby monitors with a camera and see which baby monitors on Amazon are the top rated.
Every parent wants to keep their precious new baby safe, it’s a Dad’s job after all to protect his family. One way to do this is by investing in a good quality, top-rated baby monitor with a video camera function.
Sure, you can get a very basic monitor for just a few bucks, but they won’t have a video display or many of the other features that provide extra benefits and peace of mind. Being able to see your baby as well as hear them, lets you see at a glance if all is well. I certainly wouldn’t have been without a baby monitor when my son Benni was a baby.

How To Teach Your Child About Stranger Danger: A Step-By-Step Guide To Teach Your Kids To Protect Themselves

I embrace positivity, and I enjoy looking on the bright side of life much more than thinking about the bad things and bringing negativity to the table.

Why I Don’t Share Any Pictures of My Son Here
This block is 100% dedicated to my son, me and our toys. Yet, you won’t find any pictures of my son around here. “Why is that?”, you may ask.
Well, months before our son was born back in 2015, my wife and I made a decision: We will not share ANY pictures of our son on the internet.
You know, back in 2015, when our son was born, quite a few of our friends were expecting or had already toddlers, and many of them shared pictures of them on social media, blogs etc. A few of them even replaced their own profile picture with pictures of their kids. I never got my head around this, but our decision was clear: We don’t want that!
Let me put a quick disclaimer here:
In this post I am going to share my very personal opinion on posting pictures of kids on the internet. I am trying to explain why I *personally* think that it is a dangerous thing. However, I understand that you may not agree and that you may want to share pictures of your kids. If you decide that this is okay for you and your kid, I totally respect that. This article does not bear any intention to judge you or prove you wrong 🙂
