We are partnering with our lead agency @tccokc this holiday season to provide much needed basic items. Did you know they go through 6,700 diapers in one week? Let's help them with this need by shopping on their wish list: amzn.to/2g3lcDl.
The kitchen is a busy place during the holidays. Please keep these three tips in mind to keep kids safe. 1. Create a kid-free zone. Teach children to stay at least 3 feet from your cooking space. Place babies in a high chair outside of the kid-free zone where you can see them.
Holiday travel can be filled with a lot of fun memories for children - fun visits to grandma and grandpa's house. Before you hit the road this holiday season, we want to remind you about some simple tips to keep children safe while traveling. bit.ly/2QWIjk6
