Warmer weather means you and your family are outside a lot more. Trips to the park, walks for ice cream and long chats with your neighbors are a given. This means you'll be heading home a little later than usual, so it's important to keep your walkway safe, and we've found the best idea yet to help you do so.

To prevent your children, or yourself, from stumbling around and getting hurt in the dark, invest in these little glow-in-the-dark pebbles ($14, amazon.com). All day long, they absorb light from the sun. Then, once the sun sets, they give off the most magical glow for the following two to three hours. It's that simple. If you have a long driveway in front of your house, you can just sprinkle the stones on the ground as you please.

Or, you can simply line the pebbles on the sides of your sidewalk, so people can follow along without accidentally stepping on these round accessories (kind of like this walkway in Poland).

Another option: create big, graphic statement pathways. These diamond designs add an art deco moment to an otherwise dark and unnoticed area.

If you have a big, expansive backyard, you can even use these pebbles ($18, amazon.com) to mark your property. That way, when you have kids over for playdates with your children, it's easy to set boundaries for how far they can explore and when they need to turn around and head back to the house.

Clearly, there are tons of ways you can use these little guys to keep your home safe and beautiful.
