When we do go places together, they want to look at different things and be more independent. They have earned their own money and want to buy gifts. What they have both learned to do so well is playing my heart strings. "Mom, I worked so hard for these dollars and I want to spend them on you!" I am pretty sure they rehearsed that. They both told me that at the different times. It makes me wonder if they accidentally used the same line.
In their adventures, there will be trips to friends, boyfriends' family, and with their fathers and their new wives families. They are just so busy. Cassie will be going to her sisters' house and her grandparents, cousins the movies, and that's just the tip of the ice burg. Abby has so many trips coming up, I can barely keep up. Starting this weekend going to the state football game (her school one and she is in the marching band!!), she's going bowling, to her friends' family, her grandparents, and so much more!!
Well, the sad part is, I'm a mom and I worry. The awesome part is, they are getting big and responsible and love doing things. So, how do we make everyone happy all at one time? We agree to use a family locator app.
I was introduced to the FamilyInSafe App awhile back and it is so cool. It's not just me that thinks so.
FamilyInSafe is an all-in-one app that gives users a real-time locationThis is so easy for the whole family to use. We have our kids and family on here so we can keep up with our locations. It's nice to know where my little babies are where ever they are.
tracker, a handy to-do list, a set of standard, geofence, location-based
reminders, a private messenger, and family budgeting
features. The app lets people create a secure family community (hub) to
stay in touch with their loved ones 24/7. It's like having a private
family Facebook website.
So from the beginning, I am going to walk you through how I set it up. I signed up HERE. I was able to name "Our Family Hub" and change my avatar right there so I uploaded a picture I already had on the computer. It was so easy!
The whole thing is so user-friendly. I was able to invite the whole family right away by their emails. All I had to do is add in their email and the message was already in there. I could customize it but they knew it was coming so I let the automatic message do its' thing.
From there I downloaded the app and started navigating. It's so easy to set up grocery lists, tasks, check-ins, and chat and so much more. I love this. If my kids get home before me, i will know and they will be able to prove it. Also, unable to deny it!! :) You know, just in case there is a dispute on arrival time. Teenagers.....
This is an awesome app and very user-friendly and makes the best gift of all for me. Knowing my family is safe and sound. This is so perfect for families with kids that have after school programs or walk home too. It gives our growing kids a sense of independence while they are learning to be more responsible.
If we need to send a message to eachother or to the whole family, it is so simple. Just click on the chat! I love it. It's just like family facebook.
I can know where they are while they are still getting where they are going. This is really cool to have. My oldest daughter goes to band practice, girl scouts, and the flower shop weekly, after school. This is a great way for me to know where she is when she gets there and when she leaves.
In my opinion, this is a way for us to build trust with each other while she is learning her limits. To be honest, I don't have to say "No" so much now. It's not like i can say I don't know where you are going. I do know where she is going. She has the FamilyInSafe App on her phone. She is more likely to leave her arms at home than she is to leave the phone behind.
Oh, another plus is the battery friendly feature. I can see where our batteries are. If they are getting low I can send out a reminder to them to charge it. I do worry about stuff like that. I'm a mom. If there was some kind of trouble I want them to be able to get a hold of me.
I love this app! I think you will find it very helpful with keeping up with your family.
