Going On Vacation? You Need To Know These Tips

0 Comments

Fully enjoy your holiday vacation with these home security tips.

The holidays are one of the busiest travel times of the year. No matter if you are headed to visit friends and family, or escaping all of the holiday madness on a tropical beach, leaving your house empty while you are gone can be very dangerous. Keep these holiday home security tips in mind to keep your house protected.

While you are getting ready:

  • Load your luggage in your garage if possible so any potential burglars don’t see that you are leaving. If your garage is not an option, load your luggage into your vehicle as fast as possible.
  • Let your neighbors know that you are leaving and how long you will be gone. Ask them to keep an eye on your house and call the authorities about any suspicious activity.

Make your home look occupied:

  • Install a few timers on lights in your house to go off at different times of the night. You may also want to install a timer on a radio or TV so that your house sounds occupied.
  • Keep your blinds and curtains at their normal positions. If you keep your blinds open, make sure there are not valuables that are visible through your windows.

Don’t be a target for thieves:

  • Do not post on social media how long you will be gone or when you are leaving. Thieves regularly look on social media sites and will know just how much time they have to break into your house.
  • Bring any hidden keys inside or give them to a trusted neighbor to check on your house while you are away.

Having the right homeowners insurance policy will help to keep your home protected while you are away. Contact Cappuccino Insurance Agency in Westlake Village, California for all of your Conejo Valley home insurance needs.

St. Patrick’s Day Celebration

St. Patrick’s Day is just a couple of weeks away, which means it is the perfect time to start planning for your holiday festivities. Make sure to mark your calendar for these exciting local events in the community that the whole family can enjoy together.

Head out to the Ventura Elks Lodge on March 14th for the 27th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Ventura. The parade stats on East Main Street in front of the San Buenaventura Mission at 10 a.m. and heads up East Main Street and will end on the corner of East Main Street and North Chestnut. Almost 100 entrants will be marching with the parade.

The St. Patrick’s Day Celebration at Agoura Hills/Calabasas Community Center is also happening on March 14th. From 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., bring the whole family out for a day full of food, entertainment, and activities. The free event is feature The Tribal Caravan Belly Dancing Performances, The Claddagh School of Irish Dancers, and live Irish music performed by Innisfree. There will also be plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy, including rock climbing, face painting, and many different inflatables.

St. Patrick’s Day has been officially celebrated since the 17th century as a way to honor St. Patrick, who was a patron of Ireland. Although St. Patrick was not Irish, he returned to the country after escaping the country from slavery to help spread the Christian religion. He is not credited with bringing the Christian religion to Ireland.

While St. Patrick’s Day is only celebrated on the 17th in America, the holiday is celebrated from March 15th through the 19th at the St. Patrick’s Day Festival in Dublin, which is the capital of Ireland. During the Festival, there is a carnival, parade, dances, and a treasure hunt.

All of us at Cappuccino Insurance Agency in Westlake Village, California would like to wish you and your family a fun and exciting St. Patrick’s Day.

Thanksgiving is just a couple of days away, so it is the perfect time to make your shopping list to be sure you have all the ingredients for your Thanksgiving feast. It is also the best time to ensure that you stay safe while in the kitchen. Keep these simple Thanksgiving safety tips in mind so that everyone has a safe and happy holiday.

  • Before you start cooking, thoroughly clean your oven and stove. Built up grease from past meals can easily start a fire.
  • Do not leave you house while you are cooking. If something is on the stove, do not leave the kitchen so that you can keep an eye on the food.
  • Do not allow children within three feet of the oven and stove since they can easily be burned from boiling water or splattering grease.
  • Keep you floor free from any obstacles, such as toys and bags. Keep your pets out of the kitchen so that you do not trip over them.
  • Keep any flammable objects, such as towels, potholders, plastic bags, and food containers away from the stove so that they do not catch fire.
  • Keep a fire extinguisher that is rated for grease fires in your kitchen. Make sure that multiple people in your house know how to use it.
  • Check all of the smoke alarms in your home to make sure that they are working properly. Replace any alarms that are outdated or broken.
  • Before you go to bed at the end of the day, double check to make sure that all appliances are turned off, especially the oven and stove.
