Kids and Parents Will Both Love the New Shaw Go Disney Junior, Shaw Go Family and Shaw Go Disney XD Apps-Giveaway

May 5, 2014 by Kathryn 76 Comments

A few months ago I learned about the Shaw Go service available to Shaw Cable and Shaw Direct customers; a collection of apps that lets Shaw subscribers watch their favourite shows on portable devices when away from the house. Benjamin immediately fell in love with the kid-friendly apps that the company offered and now, Shaw has made Shaw Go even better for families with the introduction of three new children’s apps for iPhone and Android: Shaw Go Disney XD, Shaw Go Family and Shaw Go Disney Junior!

My boys were all too eager to test out the new apps and I knew that Benjamin would be especially excited about the Shaw Go Disney Junior app. Some of his favourite shows are on this channel and seeing his eyes light up when he saw programming including Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Handy Manny and Special Agent Oso was so much fun. He immediately started exploring his options and even discovered a new favourite cartoon to love, The Secret World of Benjamin Bear. He’s been talking about the show for days now!

Take Entertainment on the Road with the New Shaw Go YTV and Shaw Go Treehouse Apps

With my boys officially off school today, I know that I need to have plenty of entertainment lined up for them. At home they have toys, games and crafts to keep them occupied. But when we’re out and about visiting and running errands, the travel can start to take its toll. That’s why I was so excited to learn about the new Shaw Go apps that have just been released for Shaw Cable and Shaw Direct subscribers.

Shaw Go Treehouse and Shaw Go YTV apps are extensions of the company’s TV Anywhere content. The apps allow me to access top-quality children’s programming including Toopy & Binoo, The Backyardigans and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles while out and about anytime! I couldn’t wait to download the apps and see how they worked for us.

Enjoy Fall Fun Securely with Master Lock Cable Locks-Giveaway

October 5, 2012 by Kathryn 106 Comments

The days are shorter, the weather is cooler…fall is definitely here! But that doesn’t mean that outdoor fun is over quite yet! In fact, my boys and I have a variety of activities that we enjoy in the fall, from trips to the park to backyard adventures jumping in piles of leaves. But even in the midst of all that fun, we like to make sure that we’re being secure and taking care of some of our favourite possessions.

master lock cable locks Since Zackary learned to ride his two-wheeler this past summer, one of our favourite activities is riding bicycles together. With Benjamin either on his balance bike or in a bike trailer and my oldest son and I on our bikes, we explore the town, run errands and have all kinds of fun. So when my mission as a member of the Master Lock Live Secure Safety Squad this month was to review the Cable Locks 8127TRI, I was delighted. This set of three cable locks in rainbow colours looked like it would be the perfect thing for securing our bikes when my boys and I went adventuring.

When the locks arrived, my boys were so excited to each have their own bike lock. What I appreciated most, though, was the fact that one key opened all three locks! My boys are a little bit young to keep track of the keys for their locks just yet and toting around three different keys would have been a bit of a pain for me. But with this handy set, I only need one key to keep all of our bikes locked up safely! [Read more…]
