Personal Safety Hack
What if I told you there was an easy hack you could do to feel safer?
Would you do it in a heartbeat?
I sure hope so.
So take note of this simple idea and start doing it ASAP.
~
Keep car keys by your bed at night.
Ideally, the car keys would be in a place that you could easily reach in the middle of the night, like your bedside table.
In the Event that you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house.
Hit the remote Panic button...
The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.
Simple, easy and cost nothing...
Be Safe...

Home Fortification of the Structure:

(According to ADT, These are the most common points of entry for home break-ins:)

Front door: 34% of burglars twist the doorknob and walk right in.

First-floor windows: 23% use a first-floor open window to break into your home.

Back door: 22% come in through the back door.

Garage doors: 9% gain entrance through the garage.

Basement: 4% choose the basement as a point of entry.

Unlocked areas, sheds, and storage: Another 6% will simply try for any opening that is not locked down.

Second-floor window: A daring 2% will go for the second-story window.

This information shows that you should focus on any doors and windows on the first floor as the priority for a home fortification security plan. Yes, you can harden that second-floor window too but that can be done later once you have taken care of the routes that 88% of bad guys commonly use to get into a house.

What to teach kids when they get lost;
~
Do your kids know what they should do if they are lost or separated from you?
~
Basic contact information is critical for them to carry on them in written form. It’s a good idea to include at least one relative or trusted friend who lives outside your own town or area. As soon as kids are old enough, make sure they know their street address, town, and state as well as where they live (north, east, west, etc) in relation to other parts of your town.
~
One of the things that can help minimize the amount of time a child is lost is if the family has a plan of action. For example, for my children, we always agree on a meeting place if we become separated at a fair, festival, amusement park, etc. Upon entering, we pick out the tallest ride or feature, something that can be seen from a distance. At the grocery store or department store, they have been taught to go up to a cashier working behind the counter, not someone in the aisles that looks like an employee.
~
We have a family password that anyone who says they have been sent by me must use or the kids know not to go with them if someone shows up at school trying to pick them up.
