Home Security

For many of us, fall is a time when we roll out the welcome mat: to kids, to parents, to weeknight dinner company and weekend movie nights. The relaxed vibe of summer is over, though, and it’s time to tighten up our home security habits as we welcome these visitors into our homes. Fortunately, we can do that without turning our friends away.

Summer is in full swing, and we all want to enjoy it to the fullest. In order to do that, we need to renew our annual commitments to summer safety. Review these summer safety guidelines and commit to using them this season.

If your family is making a move, you want your new home to be secure on the first night you spend there. Fortunately, we can help you with a smart home security system that goes above and beyond a traditional home alarm. Here are some of the things these systems make possible. 

For many families, there’s a strong possibility that Father’s Day 2021 could look a little different than the holiday has in years past. After all, what fatherhood looked like changed a bit during the pandemic: more dads working from home, some dealing with employment challenges, and many helping with remote schooling. One Harvard University study points to a majority of dads (70%) feeling closer to their children after COVID-19, and the phenomenon reportedly transcends across demographics.

Now that the curve has flattened and life is finally getting back to normal, it’s time to assess what parts of the pandemic era we plan to keep.
