Texting when driving
Another year-round warning and extremely dangerous mistake – and we shouldn't even have to put it here – but because of the statistics and because we know how vital it is to repeat and emphasize – here it is: DON'T TEXT AND DRIVE!

Make sure your children have your complete attention when they are on the playground!
