One of the most overlooked issues around the house when it comes to big kids safety is preparing for fire. One company, www.TheLightThatSavesLives.com , was started by a Mommy owner who saved her daughters life in a house fire. The inexpensive easy to install product that she invented and makes lights doorways and floor areas near the door so children can see the exit and get out in a fire. These are perfect for bedrooms and doors leading to the outside.
