Have you read BBC's famous article Why Finnish Babies Sleep in Cardboard Boxes? If not, here's a brief summary: 
For 75 years, Finland's expectant mothers have been given a box by the government. The maternity package contains bodysuits, a sleeping bag, outdoor gear, baby bathing products, as well as diapers, bedding, and a small mattress. The cardboard box itself serves as baby's first bed and doubles as a crib. 

Did you know that all expectant and new parents with infants 3 months of age or younger in Texas are eligible to receive a free Baby Box? Read on for details.

Do you buy and sell items online on Facebook groups or sites like Craigslist, OfferUp or letgo? If so, have you ever heard or made use of "Safety Exchange Zones" many police stations have created to keep you safe during your transaction?

The idea of the "Safe Exchange Zone" is to provide a place where people can safely complete internet purchases and to cut down on potential fraud, theft, robberies, or violence that can be associated with these types of transactions.

Here's a list of Safety Exchange Zones in and around Austin.
