Don't Forget Your Smoke Detector Batteries!

It's time to Spring Forward!

Yep, we get to lose a hour of sleep this weekend! Don't forget to change that old clock sitting in the corner over there by the family portrait, you know the one you forgot about when we fell back? While you're running around trying to remember how to change some of those more confusing DVD players, your microwaves, coffee makers, stoves, alarm clocks and anything else I may have left out, don't forget to change the batteries in your Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors. This is very important, it takes all of 10 seconds to do and it may one day save you and your family's lives. On Good Morning America this morning they ran a segment about these detectors and how sometimes they don't wake up children and elderly. They suggested a late night test to see how your family would react to the alarm. If your family does not hear the alarm, it is suggested to place one closer to their bedrooms.

Smoke Detectors usually take 9volt batteries, I'm not sure about Carbon Monoxide Detectors though, so double check first!

Have A Wonderful Weekend!
