Today we removed all the blinds in our home.  Harmon is moving into his very own room...we think

In the process of trying to make sure his little room was safe I went online to find some safety device for the cord on his window blinds when I came across this site about how window blinds can cause strangulation.   After reading story after story about children who had been killed from "safe" window blinds, and countless others who were seriously injured we decided to just remove all the blinds in our home.  (If you are in a rent home, you might want to store the blinds safely. If you rent an apartment, it might be necessary to check with management, often apartment and townhome complexes want to keep the uniform look and will not allow you to remove the blinds.)

I included the link to a site that explains all the ways children can become injured or killed on window blinds, so please, for the sake of your children and in honor of those who died, check out the site and make sure your home is safe.
