A vault on the go ... a NEED for parents

Okay, so back in September, I attended Type-A Con in Atlanta. I didn't expect to come home with anything other than swag. I was SURPRISED (to say the least) when I got an email from one of the sponsors letting me know I had won their iPad Mini drawing. Even more amazing, it was a sponsor that I was VERY interested in because I know MANY parents who need this.

Before I dive into who this sponsor is, let me tell you about my struggles. Jeremy and I both have jobs. He works outside of the house in a traditional work setting. I work from home and drive for Uber. Both are freelance jobs and are flexible ... but I'm also a hermit. Jeremy is the one who goes to the events while I stay home and corral the two toddlers who would make our life a living hell if they attended.

This leads to common problems. Jeremy gets the schedules and I have all the important documentation. Which means, when he is filling out paperwork, he has to call me to get information such as social security numbers, current vaccination records, health insurance information, and so forth. We also don't like to keep things the kids bring home (count four children plus three of them in school plus everyday activities ... yeah, no thanks), but we like to preserve the memories of them and share them with family members.


Enter KidsLink.

You read EVERY where about how there this app is perfect for moms or that app is perfect for moms. However ... KidsLink is the only app that offers parents the ability to store vital information safely AND share things with their friends. You can pick and choose who sees what!

What are things moms desire in an app? Let me tell you what *I* desire in a family app.

• Somewhere safe to store vital documents for my kids that I can access while I'm out and about
• Ability to quickly send information to babysitters, family members, or friends as needed (or desired)
• Ability to virtually scrapbook since I will NEVER get around to it otherwise. (my kids do not have baby books - yeah, I'm that mom)
• Ability to access this information on mobile devices as well as online
• Ability to work with all operating systems (since my family uses both iOS & Android)

Except for the last one, KidsLink manages to work ALL of these into an app. Why couldn't this have come out sooner! I am having to play catch up with getting everything documented on the Cloud. It is great being able to share milestones with my family, and then hilarious pictures that aren't so appropriate for Facebook. I have the ability to store all of the medical information in the vault and set it so certain people can access it ... which means I can allow my sitter to see it while caring for my children and then restrict access!!

*Note ... VERY IMPORTANT NOTE ... KidsLink is downloadable, but you need an invitation to use it! You are welcome to use my code, HBREDBIRD*
