in this issue

From The Desk Of...The CEOLosing weight, quitting bad habits and getting out of debt are all great New Year’s resolutions to make, but they are also all difficult to keep. Did you know that of those who make New Year’s Resolutions, only 12 percent actually achieve their goal? So if you want to want to feel a sense of accomplishment this year, why not include at least one self-improvement initiative not rooted in restriction.

At The Monthly Grapevine, we are pleased we’ve been able to continue to offer our readers and advertisers the value they’ve come to expect from us. Keeping our pricing competitive, yet still delivering 64,700 to reader’s mailboxes & businesses each and every month, virtual copies and easy to use online coupons available 24/7 is our objective every year and an accomplishment we’re happy we’ve made, particularly this year.

In good times and in tough ones, it’s always our goal to bring value to our readers. While a lot of us have had to cut back on the “non-essentials,” there are still things that must be taken care of. For example, our cars need repairs, pets need veterinary care and our dental health requires attention. And of course, our homes need maintenance and sometimes emergency repairs that may require the specialized skills of a tradesman like a plumber or

electrician. You’ll fi nd businesses like these, and many more, each month in our publication. Plus, many of these businesses offer coupons and discounts that will help to stretch your dollars.

So, check us out online @ www.cococoupons.com or on Facebook or Twitter and of course, in your mailbox each month for every value-packed issue. Happy New Year from all of us at The Monthly Grapevine!

Sonya North - CEO

ON THE HOUSE

Safeguarding Your Home for ChildrenAccording to the National Safety Council, as many as 26 million children are injured each year as a result of domestic accidents. These accidents ranged from minor cuts and scrapes to death from electrocution and drowning. Cabinet doors, electrical outlets, furniture with sharp corners and even toilets are just a few of the items in a home that are potentially harmful.

There are measures you can take to signifi cantly reduce the risk that each of these poses, and make your home a safer place for the little ones that share it with you. Most homes can be completely child-proofed in a weekend and for less than $100.

Following are basics to make your home safe for children:

• The fi rst step is prevention – making sure that all sharp or pointed objects, string, rope, electrical cords, medication and poisons are properly stored and out of reach of children.

• Cabinet doors and drawers are notorious for mashing fi ngers. What cabinets and drawers may contain is of equal or greater concern. Household cleaning products, medications and sharp objects are all potentially dangerous.

Child-proof cabinet-latches are simple to install. By far the most popular is a two-piece fl exible plastic type where a hook attaches to the inside face of the cabinet door or drawer and a catch to the inside of the cabinet. Each of the pieces is attached with a couple of screws provided by the manufacturer. When attaching the devices to oak or other hardwoods it’s a good idea to pre-drill small pilot holes, which will prevent the wood from splitting.

• Electrical outlets pose one of the greatest safety hazards for curious little sized people. There are a couple ways to deal with this problem. Removable plastic outlet caps are the most popular devices. They are two-pronged and compression-fi tted into the outlet. They can be removed by an adult when the outlet is needed. Unfortunately, some kids learn how to pull them off.

An alternative to the plastic outlet caps is a spring-loaded replacement outlet cover. Here, the existing outlet cover is removed and replaced by a new outlet cover with retractable doors which, when in the

open position, exposes only the outlet for insertion of a plug.

Another variation of the spring-loaded outlet cover is one in which the protective door twists until the holes in the plate and the outlet are in alignment. Installation simply involves the removal of the screw attaching the existing outlet cover and the replacement with a new longer screw packaged with the replacement cover.

• Furniture and countertops with sharp corners have been the cause of many head bumps. This kind of injury can easily be avoided with the installation of soft plastic or rubber protective corner guards. Often these guards come with a two-sided adhesive tape which makes for easy installation and prevents damage to the surface to which it is applied.

• Toilet Lid Lock. Many children have a fascination with water and one of the most easily available sources is a toilet. Toilets are the cause of many infant drownings. A toilet lid lock is a plastic device that clamps to the rim of the toilet bowl and has a latch which, when engaged, covers the toilet seat and cover, preventing either from being opened.

TIMELY FEATURE ARTICLE

Tips For Holiday Car TravelIt`s almost time to pack the kids and presents into the car and head out to visit family for the holidays.

Whether your trip will take you over the river or through the woods, getting to grandmother’s house can mean overcrowded roads, tough driving conditions and many repetitions of “Are we there yet?”

A little preparation can help make your holiday car trip safer and more pleasurable.

• Keep your little ones protected. Holiday road trips can be dangerous due to slippery conditions and additional motorists on the road. Many of the newest child seats rely on innovative plastic materials for safety features - three- and fi ve-point harness systems, shock absorbing foam padding, head impact protection and fi re-resistant upholstery - that help protect your children on the road.

• Fuel-up in advance on gas - a full tank helps avoid extra stops along the way. And consider installing a cell phone app that geo-locates gas stations with lower gas prices.

• Lighter vehicles often are more fuel-effi cient. So if your family can fi t comfortably, a smaller, lighter car could save on gas money. One reason is that today’s cars employ many design, comfort and safety features made with lightweight plastics, which helps reduce overall vehicle weight to improve fuel economy. Modern automobiles now are made of 50 percent plastics by volume, but only 10 percent by weight.

• If you have been considering purchasing a new car, there may be no better time than the holidays. Many dealers offer signifi cant holiday discounts, so this could be a great time to prepare for that upcoming holiday road trip.

• Pack healthful road snacks. Consider foods such as cheese sticks, carrots and dried fruits. Buy in bulk and pack individual portions in convenient re-sealable plastic bags and containers. Avoid overly sugary treats that may make it harder for kids to sit still.

Article courtesy of www.statepoint.net

• Transport food safely. Bring holiday dishes in coolers and containers so you can safely go straight from your kitchen to the car to the holiday table.

Lightweight plastic coolers are easy to transport and help keep prepared foods cold by trapping cool air inside and keeping out warmer air. Airtight plastic containers help keep individual dishes fresh.

• Use space-saving packaging. Packing for a holiday trip can be challenging, so consider using airtight plastic “space saver” bags that prevent wrinkles, keep your clothes fresh and save space – this could even cut down on the number of bulky suitcases that could block the driver’s visibility.

• Recycle along the way. When snacking on the road, reuse plastic grocery bags to collect your recyclable plastic bottles, containers, bags and wraps until you can drop them in a recycling bin.

But above all, pack a map or bring a GPS so the kids can answer the question: “are we there yet?” Learning to read a map is a valuable life skill!
