Over the years, I’ve realized that there are certain plans we establish in life to protect ourselves from unfortunate—yet often inevitable—events. These plans are known as insurance policies, and we take them on with the intent of safeguarding our lives, our loved ones, and our assets. Take homeowners insurance, for example. A home is likely the biggest investment many of us will make. Naturally, we want to protect it. So we pay into a policy that gives us peace of mind—just in case disaster strikes. But here’s the thing: after each year, your coverage ends. You renew, pay again, and continue the cycle. When IRead More →

When I was a little girl, my parents always seemed to be thinking ahead. They worked hard to prepare for the unexpected—whether it was job loss, rising costs, or difficult times. I remember sleeping on a bed made of boxes. At the time, I didn’t think much of it. I thought it was just practical—why waste money on a bed frame when you can use storage boxes? But as I grew older, I realized something deeper was happening. The height of my bed would slowly shrink over time… because we were using the food stored in those boxes. My parents were wise. They had stockedRead More →

My Journey With Thrive Life Thrive Life has changed my life in many ways. My husband and myself have been consultants since 2012. I love the food and so the food was why I was interested. I had never seen anything like it. I shared it with my husband, the skeptical type. I made him a salad with Thrive chicken on it and he was blown away. It was fresh, it was tender, it was juicy – his words – and he was sold from that point on. Before long I thought, I can’t keep this to myself! So I started sharing it with other peopleRead More →

Autumn Home Decor I’ve always decorated for the seasons. There’s something about walking into someone’s home and seeing it all dressed up in the oranges and browns, pumpkins and scarecrows that gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling that Fall brings! I never grew up with our house decked out for the seasons and I knew that was something I really wanted to do for my family. Like I said, it brings a feeling like no other. I like to decorate every room so that when my kids come home from school they really had the feeling of the holiday.  There is a few traditions thatRead More →

Emergency Preparedness My husband and I have never been over-the-top “Doomsday Preppers” but we certainly have invested time and resources to be prepared. After all my husband Dave was a Scout leader for over 35 years and like their motto says…”Be Prepared”! I really think this is great advice for everyone. Disasters come in all forms and sizes from being laid off from your job, health problems that prevent you from working, trucking strike, fuel shortage…to the natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, ice-storms, and the list goes on. Everyone should have a 72 hour emergency kit but in reality something like being laidRead More →
