We’re Back!
I’ve been on a blogging hiatus since we were gone to Wisconsin. I really didn’t blog about it too much since I didn’t think it was wise to let the internet know that we weren’t home. However, we are back now and I am hoping to get back to blogging a little more frequently than I have been. My parents only have dial up, and that is just not worth my time to even try and do. I don’t know how my dad looks for cheap auto insurance or even checks his email. It is so slow that I can’t stand it at all. We are trying to talk him into getting DSL, so hopefully, I’ll be successful with that. I am hoping to get some of our pictures downloaded later tonight, so I can show you what fun my kids had. I am hoping that everyone had a great Christmas and got everything they wanted.
Be Fire Smart and Stay Safe
Now is the time of the year to talk with your kids about fire safety. With many of us stuck in our homes (see the post before this about being snowed in) and having real Christmas trees, this is a talk we all need to have. Even if you don’t have a real tree, your kids definitely need to know what to do if a fire would happen to break out. I know that everyone thinks it won’t happen to them. However, I am sure that the people who have house fires think that also.
Liberty Mutual has a great website dedicated to being fire smart. This is a great way to start a conversation with your kids. There are some great forms on this site that help you develop your fire plan and to just help you start the conversation. Even though my kids are still pretty little, this is a conversation we started having with Madison last year already. They even have sections especially for children, parents, and educators. You are also able to search your local firehouses and learn about them too!
Be safe this holiday season and make sure you check out BeFireSmart just in case.
