I’m back to blogging and a little Fire Safety

*Today at our MOPs group, we had a fireman come and give a fire safety talk and I was in charge of writing the blog post for the talk so I thought I might as well post it on here!     One vital thing that I learned being a mother, was to be prepared.  Always.  For anything.  My diaper …
