Know CPR & First Aid

I was a Red Cross First Aid and CPR Instructor so please take what I say today seriously. If you have young children make sure the cords on your blinds are up high. If they are hanging down low kids can get the cords wrapped around their necks, choking them. For home safety reasons know First Aid and CPR yourself. Plus, make sure anyone who takes care of your kids takes these classes. Also, have a card showing basic CPR and First Aid procedures on your frig in case you or a babysitter forgets what to do in an emergency. Call your local Red Cross, American Heart Assoc. or fire department for classes. Some fire departments offer classes free to the public. Find out if any fire departments in your area do.
