“I wanted to send you both a quick email and let you know that my kids LOVED the presentation! Riley is STILL talking about it. She insisted on showing me how to check all our GFI outlets (“mommy, I know you already know how, but let me show you that I know how. AND we have to do this once a month, did you know that??” – I actually didn’t know that so she taught me something). She has shared tons of the safety information and it just makes me so happy because if she’s excited to talk about it, then it’s something that will stick with her.

Blair you clearly know how to capture an audience! Thank you so much!”
