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.

My best advice to parents of college students? Whe My best advice to parents of college students? When they say “you should come” - GO! ✈️

Over the last 4 years it’s been so wonderful to be invited for glimpses of Emily’s life on campus. I’ve been welcomed by her amazing friends who have become part of our family, met the professors, faculty & staff she talks so fondly of, and gotten to know fellow parents through trips to Family Weekend all while enjoying time with my best girl. 💕

Today I’m heading home as a proud mom with a full heart for all that I’ve experienced on campus during her college years and am in disbelief I’ll be back for graduation next week. 🥹

The space portion of @silversat ‘s mission has fin The space portion of @silversat ‘s mission has finally come to an end but what we accomplished was pure CubeSat Joy!! 🛰️

I continue to be in awe that we put something in space that existed up there for 5 months. 🥰 Our CubeSat took photos 📸 and tweeted 🐦‍⬛them out as we hoped it would thanks to the many students (and parents!) who have been involved in our meaningful real-world hands-on STEM project that enabled them to learn about technology and space over the past 11 years.

I found some old notes from a 2015 meeting and under Questions, I wrote: “If we are successful, would we do this again?” 

And the answer is yes! 🎉 Here’s to SilverSat 2.0 and involving more kids to dream up a new mission for our next Silver Spring CubeSat! 💕

Happy #MedalMonday to everyone who ran a race over Happy #MedalMonday to everyone who ran a race over the weekend and is adding new race bling to their collection! 🎉 I did a thing this weekend too but it didn’t involve another race! 😂Here’s the before, swipe ⬅️ for the after!

Inspired by seeing @allytbrett_runs ’s race medals, I did a little medal reorg that makes my OCD self happy. 🙌🏼Pro tip- Instead of sliding the bar of the medal rack through the ribbon, I looped the ribbon around the bar so all the medals face forward! This small thing made a huge difference and makes me happy every time I walk into my office!💕

My next race is the 25th anniversary @stjude Memphis Marathon Weekend on December 5th. I’m thinking this anniversary year medal will be the start of a new medal rack, just like my 15th anniversary medal started this collection.🫶🏼

If you want to run Memphis with me, race registration is open! Comment Memphis and I’ll DM you the registration link and happy to answer any and all race ❓s!

Here’s to the most amazing coaches, fellow members becoming friends outside the studio, planning my work schedule around workouts, showing up for class on days I’d rather not just to avoid paying the cancellation fee (IYKYK), and continuing to count classes because I’m coming for you 1000! 💪🏼

Race medals are great but charity bling is better! Race medals are great but charity bling is better! 🏅When I first started running for @stjude 10 years ago, I thought I’d be one and done but here I am- 15 races later and having raised almost $50,000! 🎉

The goal has always been to help end childhood cancer and I feel so fortunate to have met the most amazing people along the way. My fellow @stjudedc Hero Ambassadors are a group of dedicated baddies who I adore. 🥰 

We cheer for each other on and off the course and as my friend & fellow DC Hero Ambassador @jess_santora says, “My goal was never just to reach the finish line- it was to help more people get there too.” 🏃🏻‍♀️

Here’s to more races, more money raised for St. Jude, and forever friendships! Already excited (and fundraising) for St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend this December. ✨Fundraising link in bio and donations of any amount are appreciated to help me reach my $4,000 goal! 🙏🏼

I am so proud of each and every one of us and especially incredibly grateful that OTFSS members said yes to running today! 🥰 

We fundraised, trained, and ran to give families hope that their kids will survive childhood cancer and to support researchers as they work towards a cure for childhood cancer and other life threatening diseases. 💕

As a mom of 2, I know no parent should ever have to hear “your child has cancer” so thank you Team OTFSS for supporting St. Jude’s mission by running the streets of DC! We did it and I’m already looking forward to next year’s RNR DC race so we can do it again!🧡🧡🧡
