How much do you know about using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) for protection on your Digital Devices?
In this post I cover what a VPN is, how to obtain one, and the very many benefits of having one installed on your mobile devices for privacy, both at home and for use when traveling.

Fire Safety Protocols and Escape Plans
In this post, I’m discussing the importance of having a plan in case of fire. I am also mentioning a great fire safety tool to have in our homes – the Fire Blanket – a handy thing to have in the home or car for putting out fires instantly. They can be thrown over fires or used for wrapping ourselves in case we need to flee the flames.
