Are you ready for Valentine’s Day?  Many choose to celebrate this popularly coined “Hallmark Holiday” by getting together with a spouse or significant other and enjoying a romantic meal paired with some bubbly. Not currently paired up?  No problem!  Valentine’s Day or “Galentine’s Day” can be a great excuse to gather up your gal or guy friends (perhaps both) and have a fun dinner party, night of pampering or casual movie night.  However you chose to celebrate, we wish you a very happy “hearts day” to you and yours!

Resolutions Sticking?

On By Western Mutual BlogIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Each New Year’s Day signifies the start of carefully thought out resolutions for millions of Americans. Unfortunately, resolutions do not tend to stick as we put too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect and end up feeling overwhelmed in the process. Come February, many are quick to overlook these goals. In order to help ease the pressure, instead focus on more attainable goals and less of them. Remember to be smart, stick to fewer things (or even one thing at a time), exercise the buddy system for more encouragement, celebrate your victories and be kind to yourself!

Do you have any helpful tips on ways to stick with your resolutions? Please share them below!

Heater Safety

On By Western Mutual BlogIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Heater safety is important to follow at home. This winter season, and all year long for that matter, be sure to remain vigilant and follow safety recommendations. If your home does not have a heater unit, Do NOT use the stove as a heat source. Instead, use extra blankets, dress in layers, light a fire in your fireplace or use a portable space heater. Note that you should not leave children unattended near a space heater and the units should never be placed on top of furniture or near water. In fact, keep heat sources at least 3 feet away from furniture or drapes. Remember to always have a chemical fire extinguisher handy, working smoke alarms and up-to-date carbon monoxide detector.

Cold Weather Prep

On By Western Mutual BlogIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

It is beginning to look a lot like winter!  In order to prepare you and your families for cooler weather, we have created a cold weather checklist! Check it out below and please add any ones we missed in the comments below!

  • Close off unneeded rooms and place towels or rugs over cracks under the doors to keep the warm air in and cool air out
  • If you have a fireplace, make sure you have a good supply of firewood that can keep you and your family warm in the event of power outages
  • Have flashlights and batteries available for blackouts and avoid using candles as they can become a fire hazard
  • Provide shelter for pets and the elderly
  • Bring plants inside to protect them from the elements
  • Use blackout curtains as they prevent heat loss
  • Reverse your ceiling fans to make them spin clockwise and create an updraft that pushes warm air around the room without creating a wind chill
  • Clean the gutters off of your roof as when clogged, rain and melted snow can cause leaks and damage to your home’s infrastructure
  • Maintain tree limbs and brush because wind, rain, snow and ice can cause them to break and fall
