Energizer Change Your Clock Change Your Battery Reminder & Giveaway







It’s hard to believe that in just a few days we will be changing our clocks back from Daylight Saving Time.  This year the time change is on November 4 and it also marks the 25th anniversary of the annual Change Your Clock Change Your Battery® program.  Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) are once again working with local fire departments nationwide to raise awareness on the importance of working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in helping to keep families safe in their homes. 

Thirty-eight percent of fatal fire injuries occur in homes with no smoke alarms, while 24 percent occur in homes in which at least one smoke alarm is present but fails to operate, frequently due to dead or missing batteries.* 
In my house we also know that it means to change the batteries in our smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector. Its a simple important life-saving reminder to change the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when you set your clocks back – it could help save a life. If you have family members that are elderly or in need of help changing the batteries its a great way to help out and save lives.


Even my son knows we need to change our batteries! He helps out by handing me the package then later placing our old battery in the recycling bin at the store.

Family Safety Kit


Having a reliable flash light is a must for your home, plus it can make for fun shadow puppet times! Just be sure to have back up Energizer batteries in your home.

Since having my son I have wanted to find a good smoke and carbon monoxide detector that talks. The alarm sound scares my son so a talking one might be something that he will be able to follow the directions from. This time of year with more candles lit and holiday lights up is also great to talk about fire safety and what to do in an emergency with your kids.

Welcome Home Brands Review

                                            Welcome Home Brands
~ By Patricia ~

I just love baking, especially as the weather turns cold and I start to crave those warm baked goods. It is also fun to share your tasty treats with friends and family. Showing up to a friends house with a nice warm treat or having someone bring you something is always welcoming. I am always looking for a great baking dish or cupcake liners to take them in. But ever want to take them fresh out of the oven and not have to worry about getting your dish back? Seriously how many bakeware dishes have you left behind at a party?  There is a great and convenient way to bake and take your goodies with you and they even come in so many shapes, designs and colors and patterns! Welcome Home Brands carries Oven-Safe Paper Bakeware. I thought it sounded too good to be true, I had to try it to believe it.

Here is a little about Welcome Home Brands from their site about the Oven-Safe Paper Bakeware:

Welcome Home Brands Paper Bakeware replaces metal bakeware with style, offering a whole new way to bake, serve, store, and give in one unit. It’s oven safe to 400°F and freezer safe, so consumers can bake and freeze in the same paper pan. Because it cuts down on cleanup, it streamlines the baking process and makes home baking easier and more fun. Manufactured in partnership with Temma Shiki of Japan, a global leader in paper bakeware, the Welcome Home Brands collection includes a variety of shapes, styles, designs, including everyday and seasonal collections.





I made brownies for a shower I was going to attend with the Festive bakewear pattern. It was so great and so easy. I made my brownie mix, poured it right into the paper bakeware, cooked them (just be sure to watch them because the cooking time varies) and served them nice and hot to my friends. The pattern is fun and festive, they were a big hit and everyone loved how convenient they were. I had no idea these even existed, and now that I do I will be using them again!
