Its daylight savings day today and besides trying to adapt to the time change, which I can say messed me up this morning there are other things you need to do today.

A seemingly smal items in the home tht often times gets overlooked until its too late: Carbon Monoxide detectors and Smoke alarms.  I recommend that everyone changes batteries in their Smoke alarms and Carbon Monoxide detectors today and test them to make sure they are working.  A good routine to follow every year like clockwork.

A small item that really can save a life.  I hope nobody ever has to test these devices but the harsh reality is that fires Do happen and fule burning appliances Do fail.  Why not set a routine that annualy on the same day they are changed?  Easy and not expensive to do.
General rule: CO detectors last around 5 years and smoke alarms around 7 years, so if they are older replace.
