did you know On average, there are 29 home candle fires reported per day?! It was brought to my attention last night, that my family doesn't have a " fire escape plan". At first I thought it was a totally random way for my 6 year old to play the " I'm scared card" because it was past bedtime and I was totally into my show. Apparently the movie she had been watching earlier had a scene where the dad bumped the candles and they caught the house on fire. It didn't seem to bother anybody at the time so I didn't think anything of it. As luck would have it, the scene bothered my little Abby more than I knew and what better time to tell me about it than MOMMY time?! (What's mommy time anyway?) after a quick snuggle we told her our plan that my genius hubby pulled out of left field and she was on her merry way! passed out within minutes. I, on the other hand had a harder time falling asleep afterwards because now my brain was racing a mile a minute trying to figure out what we really would do in the unlikely event of a fire? I mean who actually has a family disaster plan? Well... As of tomorrow we do! And so can you! Here are a few tricks and tips I found on making a family disaster plan! So yes, we practice these drills at school and as far as I know they still do the same at elementary schools but the chance of survival goes WAY up when constantly talked about and practiced! Hopefully someone other than me will find use for these ideas! Stay safe! And until next time...

We have talked about this in our house. However, thank you for the reminder that we need to go over it so it stays fresh in our mind. Its something so simple that a lot of us forget about... until its too late. Thank you for going over this with our little ones and reminding us as parents how important it is.
