The Neighborhood (#letsneighbor)

I’m excited to announce that I’m now contributing to The Neighborhood, a blog about building communities and bringing folks together. I even get my very own contributor profile!

In addition to posts about how to be a good neighbor, The Neighborhood is jam-packed with DIYs, downloadable content, and features on technology and safety. My focus is going to be on safety, which is a perfect fit considering I’ve always been overprotective of my loved ones and slightly paranoid about the world around me. Researching ways to stay safe in various situations might actually help me feel less worried by making me feel more prepared.

My first post for The Neighborhood is on how to prevent playground injuries. Did you know that The American College of Emergency Physicians reports that more than 200,000 kids are treated in emergency rooms each year for playground-related injuries. Ouch!
