Reaching out to Sandy Hook


As a mother and a first grade teacher I was deeply saddened and my heart breaks for the families of Sandy Hook Elementary.  My condolences go out to all affected by this tragic event.  As this is a family friendly blog, I offer you and your families some resources to help you, if you choose to speak to your children about the violent act that occurred on Fri. Dec. 14, 2012. 

Useful Websites: 
Coping with Violence
National Child Traumatic Stress Network
NEA: School Crisis Guide 
SAMHSA


How you can reach out:
The United State Postal Service sent out the following press release: 

NEWTOWN CONDOLENCES SHOULD BE SENT TO UNIQUE POST OFFICE BOX NEWTOWN, CT — The U.S. Postal Service has established a unique Post Office Box to allow the public to send condolences to those affected by the tragedy in Newtown CT last week. Those who wish to send expressions of comfort should address them to:

“We understand that there is an outpouring of support for everyone in the Newtown area and we hope to make it easier for those who wish to send encouragement and messages of compassion to those affected,” said Kimberly J. Peters, Connecticut Valley District Manager for the U.S. Postal Service, adding, “Through letters and cards, families will be able to hold that friendship in their hands and to read those kind words at a time and place that supports their pace of healing.”

Stanley Steemer Holiday Tips




The past few months have been crazy.  We have been packing up and preparing for our upcoming move.  All while trying to prepare for the holidays.  As we're finishing the last of the clean up, we called Stanley Steemer's to set up a carpet cleaning. I had heard of them but never actually tried them out. They are very easy to contact and booking is available online. I was able to make an appointment while waiting at the dentist's office!  Quick, easy, convenient, and I got an instant email confirmation.  Our light colored carpets are ready for their new family and I'm thrilled that I didn't have to do it myself. 

As the holidays quickly approach, the experts in the field from Stanley Steemer offer these holiday tips for maintaining a cleaner, healthier home:

With the holidays come the house guests
Reduce the amount of dirt and mud that may get tracked into your home by using indoor and outdoor entrance mats.

Pickup in a flash
Why deny the inevitable? At some point this season you’ll deal with red wine, gravy, pine needles or candle wax drippings on the carpet. Remember to act quickly to clean up any spills or stains; consider keeping a professional spot remover handy at all time or use items commonly found around the home such as white vinegar and baking soda.

Dirt is the ultimate scrooge
Keep up with the high traffic areas in the home, especially during entertaining season, by vacuuming them two to three times a week and the rest of your carpets at least once a week. 

To help you see through the dirt that lurks in your home and really make it merry and bright contact Stanley Steemer.
