Hello Everyone!!
Just a friendly reminder to change all those batteries in your smoke detectors and Carbon-monoxide detectors as well! Yup, it's a pain, however, while your at it, give them a good cleaning by vacuuming the dust off and once the new batteries are in give them the old "test"

Hey, take it from me. . . you don't know when disaster will strike, it is sooooo much easier to replace a few batteries than to replace a whole house!!!!

Just one Farmgirl trying to keep her fellow Sister's safe!

We always change them out when we have to change our clocks. Either spring ahead or fall back. Thanks for the reminder Joanna.
Hugs,

We do the same I actually go through the whole house and change all batteries. . . clocks, remote controls, flashlights,emergency radio, smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors, anything we "depend on" really.
Glad to help!

You are Welcome! I discovered that one of our smoke detectors needs to be replaced. . . glad I took the time to do the test.

Another thing people should do if you have indoor pets is to put those Pet fire safety stickers on windows or doors to let firefighters know in case something were to happen while you are away.
