With the storm coming....... here are 15 MUST DO tips: Storms can be scary for kids, especially if the power goes out. Here are a few things I did when my kids ...were younger to keep them occupied. 1. Stock up on batteries for flashlights. 2. Have candles, matches/lighters accessible. 3. Make it a family game night by flashlight/candlelight should the power go out. 4. Grab a few of their favorite things; blankets, toys, stuffed animals and their favorite books. Put them in a basket so you know where they are. Then you won't have to search for his 'special bear' in the dark. 5. Have a bag of snacks & have food readily accessible. Make a few sandwiches ahead of time and have single serve snacks handy. Grab a blanket/sheet and have a picnic on your family room floor. 6. If you're feeling really energetic, assemble a tent or make a fort......grab sleeping bags, pillows, flashlights and have a camp out in your living room. 7. Charge all your back up batteries and external power supplies for your cell phones. 8. Charge wireless headsets/headphones and laptops. 9. Make sure your back yards/front yards are clear of debris and toys, as they may get blown around. Make sure gutter are clean and free from debris to avoid damage. 10. Take down umbrellas and move/cover outside furniture. 11. Storms can be scary for your furry friends too. Bring them inside or open the garage or laundry room if they are not inside pets. 12. Have a new bone or toy to keep your pets busy and distracted. 13. Stay home. Avoid driving if you can. Stock up on food/drinks everything you need for a "night in." 14. Stock up on firewood. Make a fire and call it a S'mores night!! 15. Go to bed early and sleep.......LOL!
