Carbonite

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carbonite for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am sure you all know, or not new readers, I recently had to get a new computer.  My previous one did a not so nice thing and we almost lost alot off important files.  A whole lot, to say the least.  We should have been using a service like Carbonite .  Carbonite works as a backup service for your computer, helping computer backup those files so the next time your computer does a not so nice thing and crashes/dies/ get accidentally drop kicked after locking up again.  You won’ t lose so much data.

Most backup software needs an external hard drive or maybe a few flash drives or dvdr’s or something along those lines but Carbonite connects to their secure server whenever you are connected to the internet and backs up your data while you use the computer for other reasons, like reading my awesome blog 😉 hint hint.  Your data is backed up completely securely and safely in remote locations.  It is also accessible by just about any device that can connect to the internet, including smart phones, ipods, ipads and of course other computers.  Another interesting usage of this service is the ability to pull up important documents from the road.  Let’s say you are on vacation and left the dog home with a friend.  Your best friend just lost your dog and has no idea what do to.  Solution, pull up your old documents at the next rest stop, email pictures of your pooch to your ex-friend and have them go on a neighborhood wide search for your four legged compadre.  With some thought I am sure you can think of at least ones where you wish you could have had access to your home computer files from the road or work.  Carbonite can help.

Carbonite is running a promotion where if you enter code: BLOGAD you get two free months with purchase.  Enjoy 🙂

Wordless Wednesday! Nostalgia?

I know it’s supposed to be wordless- and I never write anything- but this is the pillowcase my mom had in the hospital when I was born. We were at her house this weekend, and Little was laying on it…..IDK- crazy, right? 
Time sure does fly…..and that is one heck of a pillowcase!  LOL

Unlimited Range Baby Monitor for All – Evoz Opens Public Beta

Guest Post by  Jen Steele-
My company, Evoz Monitors, lets busy, active parents listen to their kids anytime, anywhere, right from their iPhone. We recently launched an open beta for our baby monitoring service.
Despite huge advances in technology, baby monitors still have extremely limited range. Evoz is an unlimited range monitor that actively contacts you when your baby cries. It also collects sleeping and crying data and curates helpful parenting content from across the web. When parents are out on date night, traveling or at work, Evoz will proactively send texts, emails or phone calls when their baby is crying. It also understands the difference between a cry and background noise. This gives mobile parents peace of mind and lets them stay connected with their baby.
Traditional monitors also fail to give any meaningful insights into the health and wellness of your baby. Evoz collects information that lets parents better understand the health and wellbeing of their children. Products like NikePlus and FitBit collect information and optimize personal wellness. We thought, “Why not bring this technology to the health of your baby?”
In order to use Evoz, you will need to install Evoz on an iPhone, as well a second iOS device – an iPod Touch or an old iPhone that can be placed in the baby’s room and connected to wifi. You can download the app today from the iTunes App Store https://myevoz.com/download_app
For your participation in the beta, you will receive two free weeks of the premium service, including unlimited streaming from anywhere in the world, unlimited email and text alerts, data collection and an exclusive look at new features.  After the two-week period, if you love Evoz, the premium service will cost $6.99 (you’ll still be able to listen from anywhere for 30 minutes a day at no charge).
I am proud that Evoz brings state of the art health and wellness technology to active parents and smart babies. We look forward to building a community of connected families in the coming months.
