Is Your Toddler Truly Safe Around Your Flat Panel TV?
Disclosure: I was contacted by representatives from Sanus, who asked for my participation in sharing information regarding the safety of flat panel tvs and Sanus’ tv wall mounts, even offered one to sample while giving away another to a valued reader. All opinions are completely my own.

If you have been following my Instagram feed, you may have seen that I’ve been on mini vacations the last couple of weeks. First, I went on a weekend getaway with some girlfriends. Mom’s weekend away consisted of my bestie and me, along with several of her closest friends/neighbors heading out to Palm Desert for a relaxing time. Next, it was a quick family trip to Las Vegas for a little fun and family time. I’ll share more about these mini vacations later, but first what do these two trips have in common?
