Be careful out there

A recent incident took place close to home and our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim. I have the link below that shows a sketch of the suspect and encourage everyone to watch it and be on the look out. I also want to tell people that they should never let anyone into their homes when it is listed for sale unless they have made an appointment through the necessary channels. This also goes for homes not on the market. Do not let anyone into your homes unless you have set up the appointment yourself and the person at your door can show you credentials. Please be careful out there.  http://www.680news.com/2015/05/24/toronto-police-release-sketch-of-suspect-wanted-in-don-mills-sexual-assault/

Food delivery Toronto

My daughter had a baby and next thing I know she has food being dropped off at her door from Longo's! Unbelievable! Apparently grocerygateway.com is actually Longo's. Point & click and the food arrives. I have also learned that Loblaws has Click & Collect as certain locations. For this you simply go online to https://shop.loblaws.ca/about?cid=bs_114 click what you want and drive to the location. Once at the specified location you park in the special Click & Collect area and then they bring the food to your car! Fabulous or what?!?!

Apple recall

I saw this on Twitter courtesy of 680 News and thought I should share it: apple slices recalled possible listeria contamination. I usually buy the ready-to-go food for convenience sakes but may think twice now. For more information visit  http://buff.ly/1Jlxzla http://buff.ly/1JlxyxC…

How to keep calm in an emergency

How can I stay calm in an emergency and help my child calm down?

Jo Ann Rohyans

pediatrician

An injured child or a household emergency can be very frightening for both child and parent. Children are very attuned to the behavior and feelings of their parents, so a screaming, out-of-control adult will only scare them. If you are in a scary situation and feel yourself panicking, count to 10, take a deep breath, and tell yourself that you need to be a good role model for your child.

If all goes well, you'll never have to face an emergency. In the meantime, you can get prepared, just in case. Mentally going over plans for different scenarios, such as house fires and injuries, will help you remain calm if they ever occur.

For example, designate a meeting place outside the house in case of a fire, and teach everyone who is old enough in your home how to call 911. You can even write down an action plan if putting things in writing helps you remember and feel prepared..
