Tomorrow is Daylight Savings and I love that my hubby will be home for an extra hour this weekend!

I know many of you plan to use your “extra” hour for some much needed sleep, but I have a few suggestions that would make your sleep more restful, which in the long run is much better.

1. Test your fire alarms and replace batteries.
2. After reading this post, we decided to check to see if our new house had carbon monoxide detectors…which I was surprised to find out the answer was no…so we will be putting some up.
3. Check and clean/replace air filters as needed in your home.
4. Talk to your kids about fire/earthquake/etc. safety and if you don’t have a plan for emergencies, set one up.
5. Speaking of emergencies; you know those water jugs you purchased “just in case”? Go ahead and put some water in them “just in case”.
6. Replace any exterior lights that have burnt out.
7. For possible power outages, do you have candles & matches ready? If you plan to use flashlights instead, check batteries and make sure the extra batteries are with the flashlights.
8. Check your first aid kit and restock as necessary for both your home and car….if you don’t have one, either buy one or put one together.
9. Check not only your lint trap, but the hose on your dryer as well and remove any buildup that may have accumulated.
10. If you already have the above items done, you deserve a break and you should enter all the open giveaways on the blog.

I hope that you enjoy your “extra” hour this weekend and you will have many more nights of restful sleep if you put it to good use!
