Protect your children!

I know I usually don't write about such serious issues, but I feel this is extremely important. Because of 'Megan's Law' and other such laws in states throughout the US, the public is allowed to access information as to the location of sex offenders. Check out this site:

http://www.mapsexoffenders.com/index.asp

We typed in our address and found out that there was a sex offender who lived 2 houses down from our old address!!! Scary!

It's important to check this site out before you rent or buy in a neighborhood, especially if you have children! (and even if you don't)

And on a related note, it's important to teach your children how to protect themselves. Moody moma says it best:

Sorry for such a serious post on a generally light-hearted blog. This is just too important.
