When mobile phones became a standard around a decade (or two ago), it was about being constantly connected even in an emergency. As we’ve progressed with technology, it’s not just our phone that is connected, it’s now the front door, the lamp, and now even your kids’ who can’t even operate a phone can be reached with the swipe of a button. It’s not just a SmartHome, it’s SafeHome with Verizon and their new array of safehome products.

I love all the safety options that are available these days thanks to technological advances! I need to feel safe in my home!
I am going to have to show my sister this! She is looking for a home security for her small space. The Canary is ideal for her!
These gadgets are amazing. I love that I can lock and unlock my door with my smart phone. That’s pretty cool!
I love how affordable, durable, and safe Gizmo Pal is, I wish there had been a technology like that around when I was a child- Momma might have let me out of the house more! It’s amazing how LG and Verizon are continually innovating to make life safer and more fun!
Wow! The Gizmo Pal is a really genius way to keep up with kids who do not have a cell phone. My kids both have a phone, but I would have used it if they didn’t.
Technology sure has come a long way, huh? I want a smart home.
Wow I had no idea Verizon offered these amazing products and features! I need to tell my husband about these!
Wow these products all sound amazing! I would really like for us to get smart thermostats for our home and that security system looks great too.
These sound like amazing things to have. I would love to be able to unlock my door with my phone. I am going to look into that for my home.
I have a system that i can control from my phone. It will alert me every time the door is opened if i set it to. My kids used to freak out when i would text them and ask why they were home. They did not know how i was doing it.
I love how smart our homes are becoming! Especially since I love in a rural area, it is hard to just swing past to check on things left on. And the GitzmoPal for kids would be really helpful for my 3 kids. I am so excited with the way tech is heading these days!
I had no idea that these products existed!! I love the door lock that would be so handy with how much we travel and the kids being older now.
Those GtzmoPals are pretty ingenious if you ask me. They are great for the younger kids that are too young to have a cell phone. Verizon has done it again!
Wow! This is new to me. I had no idea that they existed. I am going to have to look more into them because since blogging I have turned into such a gadget girl. lol
