Fireworks Safety Tips
Leave Fireworks to the Professionals
- The best way to protect your family is
to not use any fireworksat home.
Instead, attend public fireworks
displays and leave the lighting to the
professionals.
- If youplan to use fireworks, make
sure they are legal in your area.
Be Extra Carefulwith Sparklers
- Little arms are too short to hold
sparklers, which can heat up to 1,200
degrees. How about this? Let your
youngchildren use glow sticks instead.
They canbe just as fun but they don’t
burn at a temperature hot enough to
melt glass.
- Closely supervise childrenaround
fireworksat all times.
Take Necessary Precautions
- Do not wear loose clothingwhile
using fireworks.
- Never light fireworksindoorsor near
dry grass.
- Point fireworksaway fromhomes,
and keepaway frombrush, leavesand
flammable substances
Be Preparedfor an Accident or Injury
- Stand severalfeet away fromlit
fireworks. If a device doesnot go off, do
not stand over it to investigate it. Put it
out with water and dispose of it.
- Alwayshave a bucket of water and/or
a fire extinguisher nearby. Know how to
operate the fire extinguisher properly.
- If a child is injured by fireworks,
immediately go to a doctor or hospital.
If an eye injury occurs, don't allow your
child to touchor rub it, as this may
cause evenmore damage.

4 Tips to Spend Less on Dining Out
(From http://www.americasaves.org/)
The JPMorgan Chase Institute recently analyzed 15 billion credit and debit card transactionsto discover the difference
in spending between high and low-income Americans. We’ve been digging through the results, and one of the most
surprising things we’ve learned so far is that across all income groups, 16to 18 percent ofeveryday spending goes to
restaurants.
So that got us thinking about ways to cut down on eating out. The good news is that eating out is a pretty easy th ing to
cut spending on, with a high and immediate payoff. These four tips will help you spendless money eating out,so you
can put more money in yoursavings account.
START A BUDGET
Do you know exactly where all yourmoney goes each month?Do you have how much you spend eating out?Ifyour
answer is “no,” it’s time to get your finances in orderand create a budget.
Start a budget by first keeping track ofwhat you spend. Thereare a lot offree online tools and apps that can help you
track spending. Or you can keep all your receipts throughout the month. At the end ofthe month, categorize your
spending into categories like groceries,restaurants,utilities, gas, and housing.
Once you know where your money is going, decide where it should be going. Adjust your categories and spending to
match yourincome. Be sure to budget for savings and paying offdebt. And challenge yourselfto spend a little less each
month in your restaurant category.
ELIMINATE 1 NIGHT OF EATING OUT A WEEK
If it costs you $25 to eat out, but only $10 to eat in, then you’ll save$60 overthe month.
If you don’t eat out frequently, or you aren’t ready to make that change, try eliminating onenight ofeating out per
month and challenge yourselfto eat out a little less each month.
STICK TO WATER
It’s standard in the restaurant industry to mark up the cost ofalcohol by three to five times.So an easy way to cut down
on your restaurant spending without changing your habits too drastically is to skip the beverages, alcoholic and non -
alcoholic.
BROWN BAG YOUR LUNCH
We know, you hear that advicea lot. But that’s becauseit really works.Ifyou eat out every work day and spend an
averageof$7, youspend $140 in just one month. Bringing yourlunch from homecan easily cut yourdaily lunch
expense in half.

5 Tips for Managing Emotional Wellness
Keeping your emotional well-being balanced is no easy task. Feelings can be
hard to figure out and they might appear to be out ofyour control. Being able
to manage your emotions and have healthy relationships with others is vital
to your emotional wellness. Keeping these five tips in mind can help you
achieveemotional balance in yourdaily life.
AWARENESS OF THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS
Sometimes it’s difficult to understand what causes negative emotions to spring up. It might feel like em otions or moods
come and go with no rhyme or reason. Taking time to become aware of certain thoughts or environmental triggers
that cause these negative emotions will allow you to understand and manage your emotional health better. Ifemotional
awareness and managementis an area you feelyouneedto improve, thereareactivitiesyoucan do to help you understand
your emotional-selfbetter. For example, talk therapy with a qualified professional,guided meditation, mindfulness apps
on your smart phone, journaling or even spending time alone to really get to know yourself without any distractions or
others interfering.
STAYING POSITIVE
While we all get in a bad mood once in a whileand thereis nothing abnormal aboutthat, constantly maintaining a negative
attitude will only eat away at your internal happiness. Ifyou keep this mind-frame long enough, nothing will ever seem
like a good situation when you only focus on the bad. Noticing how often youthink or say negative things is the first step
towards having a positiveattitude. Then, work on limitingthe amount ofnegativethoughts and speech youuse every day.
If you need help with this, try keeping a journal or asking a friend or family member to point out when you are being a
“NegativeNancy”.
ASK FOR HELP
If you are suffering from emotional distress, it’s okay to ask for help. There are no prizes handed out for who can bury
their emotions the most. It doesn’t make you stoic or strong to keep the emotional turmoil all to yourself. Talking to
someone youtrust can be enough to ease the negative emotions brought on by a bad day. Ifmore helpis needed, seeking
the adviceofa mental health professionaldoesn’t mean you areweak, it means you are strong enough to take care ofyour
mental health.
KEEPING BOUNDARIES
Establishing boundaries with people in your life will contribute to your mental well-being. While it’s best to be nice to
others in your life, therewill be times when they cross the line and it’s up to you to tell them what is and isn’t acceptable
for you. For example, it doesn’t make you a bad person to tell your neighbors that they should give you a call or a text
instead of coming over unannounced. Advocating for yourself and your emotional needs will keep you from feeling
overwhelmed by other people’s expectations and behaviors.
SELF-ACCEPTANCE
Sometimes the expectations you set for yourself are more than the expectations others have for you. It’s okay to give
yourself a break and let the self-judgment and self-doubt go. You won’t ever feel at ease in the world or with yourself if
you are constantly talking negatively about yourself. Ifyou wouldn’t let a stranger call you “stupid”, “ugly” or “notgood
enough” then you shouldn’tlet yourselfsay those things.Just like with negative thoughts in general,becoming aware and
then learning how to manage negativeself-talk is key to learning how to accept yourself.
