Today is a great prize pack for a parent, or someone who has kids in their lives.  This prize is brought to you by KidsEmail.org which is an awesome company that helps promote safe email for kids!  If you want your kids to learn the internet and how to email (which are important skills in today's society) but still want to keep them safe, you should definitely be checking out KidsEmail.org.  Today I'm interviewing Brittany, who is one of the founders!

How do you usually celebrate the holidays?

We always celebrate with family. We love getting together, baking, putting on a family dinner and spending time with everyone.

Are you a Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopper?

If so, what are you planning to shop for those days this year?

I've only been Black Friday shopping twice, it was a little too crazy for my liking. Cyber Monday shopping is awesome, I love shopping from the comfort of my home :)

What is your favorite holiday food?

I love sweets, so anything related to desserts :)

What's at the top of your holiday wishlist this year?

Honestly, I don't have anything this year. Just excited to spend time with family :)

How did Kids Email get started?

KidsEmail.org was established in 2009. The concept and idea was written and designed to be a part of the solution to protect children and families online. KidsEmail.org was designed to compliment our Internet Safety product called My Kids Browser. My Kids Browser is an internet browser that only allows kids to go to websites that you choose.

What keeps you motivated to keep going with Kids Email?

We love that we are making a difference. We have connected with so many parents and schools that love what we have to offer, so knowing we are making a difference on kid at a time is pretty cool! And with the ever growing dangers on the www it's pretty rewarding to offer such a unique tool for kids!

12 Days of Giveaways Day 11: Christmas CD & Starbucks Gift Card

It's day 11 of the 12 Days of Giveaways, and today's giveaway is brought to you by the lovely Karen from A Peek at Karen's World!  Karen is awesome, and we've been bloggy friends for a while.  Her blog posts are informative and typically very humorous, she's a great writer! Let's get to know her a bit!

How do you usually celebrate the holidays?

I split my time between my parents. I usually stay in town, although last year I ran off to Central America to volunteer over Christmas and New Years. Normally the holidays are kind of low-key but very festive and fun. Lots of food, games, and hanging out with the family.

Are you a Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopper?

If so, what are you planning to shop for those days this year?

I sometimes like to go out on Black Friday just to witness the madness, but I rarely buy anything. I'm going to do most of my shopping online and with small businesses this year.

What is your favorite holiday food?

TURKEY! I can't get enough of fresh, oven-roasted turkey.

What's at the top of your holiday wishlist this year?

Um...I can't say. It's sort of a secret...

Are you planning any awesome posts on your blog this holiday season?

All of my posts are awesome! :-) No, really, I don't have anything particularly planned, but since this is my first Christmas with my boyfriend and his kids, I want to make the whole season awesome.

What is our favorite thing about blogging?

The friendships, definitely.

Karen is giving one lucky winner a copy of the O Holy Night Christmas CD by Millennial Choirs & Orchestra & a $10 Starbucks Gift Card!  Giveaway is open worldwide and ends 12/04/14 at 12AM.
