Master Lock Fall Family Safety Giveaway #LSSS

October 1, 2015 By Leticia

Protect Your Home for Fall with Master Lock

This is a sponsored post

As the weather turns cooler and you pack away summer belongings for another year, it’s time to examine your home for areas where your security might be a little lax or you feel like you need to increase protection around your home.  In celebration of last week’s arrival of fall (did you know it officially started on September 23?), Master Lock wants to you a collection of products worth over $110 plus a $50 Visa gift card to help you secure your home.

Here’s a list of what one lucky winner will receive:

  • $50 Visa gift card
  • Master Lock Magnum M175XDLF Padlock ($23.37)—Our fourth grader, Thomas, loves when we get a new lock from Master Lock but was especially impressed by this padlock. It may be versatile (it can be used on gates, fences, sheds, workshops, garages, storage lockers, tool chests, and tool boxes) but he is most impressed by how solid this 2” wide padlock is, the shackle seal and hinged dial cover that makes it resist the elements, and that you can set your own combination. Chances are that he’s squirreled away this lock and set his own combination so I’ll have to buy my own!
  • Master Lock 107DSPT Gun Lock ($10.26)— My experience with guns is limited to shooting at clay pigeons on a ranch in Montana but I do know that if you own guns and you have kids or there is the remote possibility that someone may pick up the gun in your home and try it, that it needs to be locked up. If you’re not ready to invest in a gun safe, I suppose this Cable Gun Lock might be a good solution for you. Just make sure that it is locked around something stationary and the key is hidden to prevent a tragic accident.
  • Master Lock 265DCCSEN Door Security Bar ($26.73)— If you feel like your door or sliding patio door could be a bit more secure, the Adjustable Door Security Bar can provide that comfort since it adjusts from 27 ½” – 42” and works to prevent forced entry. This video provides a quick look on an Adjustable Door Security Bar can be used.

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
