Alison’s Tip
Dogs can be difficult to read and what appears friendly to you, can be signs of them feeling threatened or scared. ALWAYS be cautious with a dog you do not know when approaching 1) do not make eye contact 2) Let them come to you 3) Keep either your side or back to the dog 4) Pet them on the side of their face or body or back.
Katie’s Tip
Make sure your hot-water heater is set to 120 degrees Fahrenheit before you bring your new baby home from the hospital. A baby or toddler who is exposed to 140 degrees Fahrenheit water can be scalded in less than five seconds. Always make sure to test the water temperature yourself before placing your child in the tub. Toddlers are drawn to the shinny knobs and can turn them without you noticing.
Carrie’s Tip
Nail polish dries when it encounters cool temperatures, so try freeze-drying your polish in place by using ice water. Before painting your nails, fill a bowl with cold water and some ice cubes. Straight after painting your nails, submerge your nails in the icy water for 2-3 minutes.
