Child Proofing Your Home


At least two children have been hurt by falling furniture this week alone here in Phoenix, Arizona. This is sad to hear when there is a very inexpensive solution to the problem. Most people when they are child proofing their home perhaps only think about the electrical sockets and the cabinets where cleaning chemicals might be stored. In my case at least, that is all I child proofed. Then one day I hear a loud crash coming from my 3 year old's room followed by him yelling out "Somebody help me!" Apparently he was trying to change the channel on his 24" TV using his dresser drawers as steps to reach the TV. This of course made the dresser tip over and land almost on top of him. Thank god that other furniture near by deflected the TV. Otherwise the TV would have landed right on top of his head! He wasn't hurt at all just scared. So was I. It actually reminded me that when I was a young boy I also had an appliance fall on top of me. I think it was a stove. Thank god nothing happened to my son, I can only imagine what the families of those children that were hurt are going through. So this is for all Moms and Dads out there, I urge to please secure your dressers,TV's, stoves,refrigerators and anything else you might have that could potentialy fall on your child. A TV safety strap is all you need to keep ou kid safe. As you can see below thet are easy to install.




They are also inexpensive. The one shown above cost only $9.95 but can go up to $30.95 depending on the type of strap you want to buy. You can find the strap pictured above and more info at KidSafe. Another place you can find these types of products is at TotSafe. Bottomline always watch your kids specially when they are totlers it only takes a minute for them to get into something that could potentialy cost them their lives.

Make up your mind already!


A while back I posted a blog about the possible link between a vegetarian diet and brain shrinkage. Well to be fair here is a story about the possible link between eating meat and brain shrinkage. Just goes to show you that you can not believe everything you hear or read. Do your own research. This is for you Ro!

High-protein diets may shrink the brain as well as the waistline, raising the risk of Alzheimer's disease in later life.


In tests, the brains of mice fed Atkins-like diets, rich in protein and low in carbohydrate, were five per cent lighter than those of other creatures.

Importantly, areas key to memory were underdeveloped. Although it is unclear if high protein diets have the same effect in people, it is already known that low-fat diets packed with fruit and vegetables, cut the risk of dementia.


The US researchers said that looking at how different nutrients affect human brain health could lead to new ways of staving off the disease that affects 400,000 Britons
