Tips for Holiday Houseguests
I love the holidays! Getting together with friends, feeling the good cheer (most) everywhere, and sometimes having family come and stay with me. I like to reduce my holiday stress by starting to get my house in order at least two weeks before the family comes. The first article has some tips for getting your house guest-ready. I also thought it would be a good idea to remind ourselves of some common courtesies to extend to our hosts when WE are the guests. Pretty eye-opening I thought. Let me know what YOU think! 🙂

While the average person gains only 1 pound over the holidays, research shows that most of us never lose that pound. So by the time we’re in our 40s or 50s, we may weigh a lot more than we like. Holiday weight gain, sadly, is like getting a really bad present with no gift receipt.

There\’s an emergency! What do you do?
In honor of National Preparedness Month, I thought it would be great to remind you to check (or start!) your disaster kits, and to have a refresher (or first!) conversation with your families about what to do in natural disaster or emergency. I know it’s kind of scary to think about, but the more you talk about it, and the more prepared you are, the less scary it will be. This first article has a lot of information for you, so just click on what is most important to you. 🙂 Be safe!

Make a plan today. Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to know which types of disasters could affect your area. Know how you’ll contact one another and reconnect if separated. Establish a family meeting place that’s familiar and easy to find.

Stock up now on emergency supplies that can be used after an earthquake. These supplies should include a first aid kit, survival kits for the home, automobile, and workplace, and emergency water and food. Store enough supplies to last at least 3 days.
