You paid for insurance – use it!

Let’s delve into an uncomfortable topic for many adults these days – performance anxiety.  Sit tight, because no I am not talking about in the bedroom (unless you had an accident that involved coverage).  Today I want to speak specifically regarding the anxiety a growing number of insured persons have in filing a claim with […]

Parenting Plans – a different approach
