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.

Back to School already?
Dear Candice,
I hope you’re having a nice summer!! School is still a month away (yay!), but it might be a good idea to kind-of-sort-of start thinking about it a little bit. ? One area that’s fun to think about is your kids’ memorabilia. Sometimes it can get overwhelming, I know, but setting up a system now will help make it more manageable when it starts pouring in! And I LOVE this organizing solution in the following article. SUPER easy to set up and maintain!! I hope you think so, too.
