@eva cohen if you’re traumatized like I was, look into Kevlar gloves. Not good for slippery things and you can wash them for food safety. #kitchensafety #kevlar #reaction

I’m just trying to catch a flight, not a virus 😅 Here’s a few things I won’t do at airports. It’s not that they’re massive problems (some are only theoretical) but it’s easy enough to avoid, so I do. #digitalsafety #cybersecurity #infosec #safetytips #travelsafety #travel #airport #security

Ever wonder why you can’t move the chairs at an airport? It’s probably for safety 🦺 #travel #airportdesign #safetyfirst #funfacts #cpted #crimeprevention #safetravel #security #airportsecrets #DidYouKnow #inplainsight

I only do this when I’m 100% sure it’s fake & check multiple different ways, plus I report it. Chances are I can’t identify most counterfeits but when I do, I want to make sure no one else gets scammed. So far I’ve caught a few and Amazon usually responds quickly if it’s a car seat but with other listings they’re slow imo. Hopefully users reporting will help them get better at catching these. #amazonfinds #counterfeits #scamalert #shopsmart #consumertips #buyerbeware #consumeradvocate

It’s not about knowing when to step back. We’re human, we get overwhelmed and frustrated (especially without a support system) so here’s your sign that it’s ok to put the baby down in a safe place and walk away for a few minutes.

If you’re a new parent (or buying gifts for one) - this one’s for you. 

These baby products are more trouble than they’re worth. 

I have 2 toddlers, I got sucked into some of the ‘new mom’ marketing, but trust me, less is more. You don’t need a lot of the stuff the registry lists tell you to get. 

These tips could save a life but at the very least, it’ll save you some money. 

And if you need alternatives, here’s some ideas:

Instead of a lounger, use the crib, play yard, bassinet or a baby mat or gym for the floor.
A bouncer/swing works too but never for sleep.

Instead of a baby walker or activity center- let the baby pull up on furniture around the house like your couch and you can get them a push walker toy. 

Neck floats- none. Hold the baby. 

Weighted blankets- a regular wearable blanket or swaddle without the weights.

This scam works because it creates a moment of confusion and urgency. Most people want to be helpful and honest and that small window is all a scammer needs. If it seems staged or off, it probably is. #scamalert #safetytips #personalsafety #20dollarscam #psa #advice #staysafe #theft

It’s not just the milk 🙃 Lots of other things in your home expire too. #safetytips #Home #safetyfirst #parents #childsafety #homesafety #security #psa #DidYouKnow

Blankets trap heat! 🥵 Instead, try this: • Avoid peak heat hours • Stick to shady areas • Dress your baby in cool layers • Use the stroller’s built-in shade (or add an extender!) • Clip on a portable fan • Keep everyone hydrated I tested this a 93°F day - in full sun- and the temperature increased by 10 degrees in just 8 min. What’s worse is that people might think a blanket is providing cool shade but it’s actually the opposite. 😢 #babysafety #summersafety #safetyfirst #parentingtips #psa #heatwave #childsafety

Did your college have quirky traditions like milk & cookies every night or secret elves leaving you gifts? 😄 When I applied to @Mount Holyoke College , I had no idea what I was walking into. I didn’t even know the school existed but something about an all-women’s education felt right. And then, I discovered the traditions. From Mountain Day to the Laurel Parade, these moments make you feel part of something bigger- decades (even centuries!) of stories. Grateful to be part of a community of truly inspiring alumnae. 💙 What were your college traditions? #MountHolyoke #SevenSisters #WomensCollege #CollegeTraditions #MHCAlum #ReunionWeekend #WomenSupportingWomen #AlumnaeStrong #CollegeLife #WomenEmpoweringWomen

Both of my kids are under 4 so it’s pretty easy for me to avoid these candies but another option is to break it up into smaller pieces. For example, a chocolate egg can be broken into smaller pieces. It’s kinda messy and a pain but definitely possible. Also while this is focused on Easter candy, this applies year round. #easter #parents #childsafety #toddlermom #safetytips #safetyfirst #hazard #momlife
