As we adjust to all that 2020 has thrown at us, most of us are still figuring out what our “new normal” is going to look like. With everything being so uncertain, it’s easy to get wrapped up in thoughts of things we could have done differently. However, whether or not our regrets are founded,...
In this day and age we are inundated with ads from insurance companies telling us they’re going to get us the best deal. What they don’t tell you is that when you purchase insurance directly from them, they can’t take into account your unique circumstances. They only write insurance policies with one carrier—themselves. What works...
You’ve probably heard advice about updating your insurance periodically, but have you ever wondered why that’s so important? It’s not just about getting the best rate.

NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center is forecasting that this hurricane season will be heavier than average with 13-19 named storms, 6-10 of which will...
Like so many other things, Memorial Day isn’t going to be the same this year. Memorial Day, first and foremost, is a time to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in our armed forces. Memorial Day also marks the unofficial start of summer. Many of us look forward to big cookouts, going to the...
In North Carolina, we are entering Phase 1 of the reopening process. Now, more than ever, everyone is eager to get out, enjoy the beautiful weather, see their friends and socialize again. But with our bars, restaurants and entertainment venues remaining closed, we are restricted to small, outdoor gatherings. Luckily for us, North Carolina is...
One of the worst things this pandemic has done is separate us from our loved ones. Many of us are unable to visit our moms and are forced to rethink how we’re going to celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend. While there’s no substitute for the hugs we’re craving right now, there are ways we can...
Being cooped up during this pandemic, many of us are bingeing adorable animal videos to amuse and cheer us up. There’s nothing quite like a furry friend to brighten your day. Our office dog Molly, who you see pictured here getting some love from Colby, brings us so much joy! If all this time spent...
