We only have blinds on two windows in our entire house, but of course one of those is in the nursery. I'll talk to DH today about replacing them! Maybe since he's working on painting it today that will make him more interested in getting it really "finished" with a better window covering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blinds-psa#post-2109126 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 08:15:48 +0000 Pirouette 2109126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes! So scary! Roman shades are the best. I wish we had them everywhere, but at the moment only in LO's room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blinds-psa#post-2109101 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 07:04:40 +0000 Madison43 2109101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ALV91711: @HLK208: yep - roman shades ordered this morning!

So glad she's okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blinds-psa#post-2108997 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 22:34:09 +0000 ALV91711 2108997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is scary. So glad you were right there to stop anything from happening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blinds-psa#post-2108930 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 21:05:30 +0000 Madison43 2108930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am sure everyone knows that corded blinds are a huge choking hazard, but I wanted to remind to everyone PLEASE tie up your cords, no matter where they are. This afternoon my LO was playing in a window seat in our house and took the blind cord and intentionally placed it around her neck (like a necklace? I have no idea why). I was sitting right next to her, so I took it right off and tied the cord up. </p> <p>Obviously, I know blinds are dangerous and the ones that she can reach by herself are either cordless or tied, but watching her basically make a noose for herself really hammered home that this is exactly how accidents that we don't think can happen to us happen and that ALL blind cords need to be tied up or replaced with cordless versions. </p> <p>So yeah, tie those cords! </p>
