If a beeping smoke
detector is keeping you
up at night, replace the
batteries. Never remove
them, even temporarily.
Chances are, you’ll forget
to replace them later.

First Aid Kit
No matter how careful you are and how much you try to prevent injuries, accidents do happen from time to time. Building a home first aid kit to take care of minor injuries will make sure you have what you need. In addition to the basic first aid supplies, make sure you have a list of your prescription medications in case you run out, and consider taking a class in basic first aid and CPR.
