Alarming Fact: Did you know that twenty-three children lost their lives to heatstroke so far this year, after being left behind in a vehicle?
As a busy mom, the fact that any child has ever been left in a hot car, just breaks my heart. I have so many questions when I hear this statistic. Questions like, “How did this happen?” and “What was going on in someone’s life that they did not remember their child was in the car?” It literally just makes my chest heavy with ache for what these families have gone through.
What can we do to stop children from losing their lives? I think, as with most things that are preventable, education and awareness are the key.
These tragedies can happen to anyone. Sometimes heatstroke deaths and injuries occur after a child gets into an unlocked vehicle to play unbeknownst to the parent. Other incidents can occur when a parent or caregiver who is not used to transporting a child as part of their daily routine inadvertently forgets a sleeping child in the back of the vehicle.
The NHTSA working is working to help educate and spread the word in an effort to help prevent heat stroke deaths in children. They are working with local Head Start Directors and child care providers and hope to help put a stop to these terrible and 100 percent preventable tragedies.
Prevention Tips From The NHTSA:
► Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle.
► Do not let your children play in an unattended vehicle. Teach them that a vehicle is not a play area.
► Never leave infants or children in a parked vehicle, even if the windows are partially open.
► Keep a large teddy bear or other stuffed animal in the car seat when it’s empty. Move the teddy bear to the front seat when you place the child in the seat as a visual reminder.
► Make a habit of looking in the vehicle – front and back – before locking the door and walking away.
► If you are dropping your child off at childcare, and normally it’s your spouse or partner who drops them off, have your spouse or partner call you to make sure the drop went according to plan.

As many of you all know from PPP’ Facebook page, we just sent our ‘little one’ off to Kindergarten. My daughter is attending a school that does not currently have a cafeteria. No cafeteria means she carries her lunch and a snack everyday. She can order lunch via a catering type program they have, but that adds up fast.
Having a fairly healthy, but often finicky eater, I am current on a money-saving mission to find deals on fun stuff for her lunchbox. My husband made a comment about the top shelf of our pantry over the weekend, it’s currently piled high with all sorts of snacks, crackers… you name it!
Here are some great new ‘kid-friendly’ printable coupons from Coupons.com that are for items that make not only great lunchbox fillers, but are perfect for any time!
These coupons can currently be found on Coupons.com and you can actually print Coupons.com coupons right here from PPP’s printable coupons page.

School is already in session for some of us and the past few morning have really made me start thinking of Fall. I absolutely love cute Fall clothes for little ones… it’s probably one of our favorite seasons at the PPP household.
