This article was originaly written by Valerie Holstein, one of our  BrainBosomsBlossoms members, about the importance of #child# safety in the house, particularly in the home office.

Many teething babies and toddlers like to spend time crawling under the home office desk. They are often time attracted to the flashing computer and router lights and like to hang out in the cozy space right by mommy’s side. Few, yet too many young children lose their life every year due to strangulation with #wires, #cables and mini blinds’ #cords.

Valerie, a mother and business owner, experienced first hand the dangers of cords and wires laying around her house. Her child used to chew cables to soothe her teething pain. Despite hiding lamp cords behind furniture, she saw first hand her baby daughter seconds away from being hit on the head by a heavy iron cast lamp in her living room. One of the remedies was to secure the excess cord under heavy furniture while putting a product called wire loom around cords to prevent electrocution.

Running a small business out of her house while raising her child on her home while her husband was on business trips prompted her to #childproof her desk to ensure the safety of her child and dogs. She shares her favorite child and #kid-friendly #cable management products. Please repost, retweet, e-mail anyone with a small child or a baby. It could save a life.
