Lock Up for the School Year with MasterLock

School is starting back up in a few weeks here in the Big Apple. Even though my son is only entering the first grade, we still talk to him about safety for himself as well as his property. Safety is important at any age or grade.
He always likes to try to bring a toy to school. Although its prohibited, he somehow sneaks one in his book bag. When he does, I have to remind him that he needs to keep his belongings in his cubby and secure his bag at all times. Thankfully his school hasn't had any incidences of theft but you just never know.
Master Lock is helping parents & children prepare for safety at school with an interactive game on that builds awareness. Its the Master Combo Challenge. Take the quiz on their Facebook page to find out how much knowledge you have about safety at school and win back to campus themed prizes too.

I can't believe that Andre will start 1st grade at the end of this month. That is the beginning to the end of the summer. It really has gone by so quickly that I can't even remember what I did last month! I know that in the next coming weeks I will need to finish up on school shopping. Kids Foot Locker has a great way of ringing in the school year with their 1st ever exclusive launch of the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Crayola collection of sneakers.

Back to School with Sidekix Review & Giveaway

Have you heard about Sidekix? They are the cutest toy that you can kick 'em, zip 'em, flip 'em, clip 'em and stick 'em. We were given Bamboo, the Panda to review. Ever since we saw the pandas at the zoo, my son has an infatuation with them.! So I was happy to surprise him with his sidekix.

At first, he tossed it around then when he unzipped it he realized there was a little furry friend inside. He immediately clipped it to his bookbag ready to go! The great thing about the Sidekix is that they can be clipped to a bag or belt and even stick to any metal since they have magnets in the arms/legs.
There are currently five different animals to choose from. They retail for $9.99.

One lucky reader will get a chance to win their very own Sidekix.
