Best of Solomother: Safety
By now you might have noticed I’m on VACATION! And that means on a vacation from everything. I don’t even have access to the Internet. I’m romping through the lovely coast of Maine with children and families and too much love and laughter to be contained.
But that doesn’t mean I’m not thinking about you. Have you thought about safety in your home? I learned that an old friend of mine had fallen asleep in his New Orleans home… a fire broke out, and he couldn’t get out because all his windows were barred. His front and back doors were barred — and he couldn’t find the keys. He died.
When we first moved into this amazing apartment, I noticed all our windows had bars on them. I went to what was to be my son’s room, and looked. One of his windows has a safety lock on the bars. If ever we had to escape from his room, we’d be OK.
What do you need to be safe? Here are some Solomother postings on safety and the single mom:
