Karen’s Opinion

This week’s Four Foods on Friday question is to:

Name four things white or yellow things on the door of your refrigerator right now.

I had to look!
1. butter
2. mustard
3. Italian salad dressing bottle with a yellow label
4. package of chocolate chips

After 30+ years with a certain insurance company, we are contemplating making a change. We have 5 autos insured with this company yet they don’t feel we are worth giving a discount for our loyalty. Perhaps it is time to look elsewhere.

I just saw, on my friend Rebecca’s blog, that free auto insurance quotes are available at Premium Auto Insurance.net. That means it is easy to compare rates. Hallelujah! I was dreading the chore of calling individual insurance providers. It seems as if, once they get your name, they hound you to get you to buy. That reminds me of a car salesman. We always look at new cars on the lot, but, only on Sunday! muwahaha!

At PremiumAutoInsurance.net, it is simple to compare insurers in my neck of the woods. I simply enter my zip code to bring up available insurers in my area.

From there, I am able to compare types of coverage offered by multiple competing companies. I can make an informed decision and one that will save me money. So, not only do I save time but I save money too and it is all done online with the click of my mouse!

Because I like that cute Justin Case, the spokesman for Safe Auto, I compared rates at that company. I am pleased with the results when compared to the rates we have now. I also checked out other well known companies like Geiko and was amazed at the savings.

It looks like the time for a change has arrived. Check out Premium Auto Insurance.net and get the lowest rates on your auto insurance. We all need to save money!

I am way past the stage in my life where having babies is a possibility. I do enjoy sniffing the heads of new babies and I especially love to look at their pearl like toes. Babies are adorable.

I was curious about breast feeding after reading a Facebook entry from a friend’s daughter. She is in agony because she is breast feeding and her breasts hurt. I wondered why she doesn’t just give up. I did a search and put in the words “facts about breast feeding”. I learned more reasons why it is important to breast feed. I thought the nutritional value was the only value.

I think it is very important to breastfeed. However, it is not always possible to breastfeed. Many moms feed their babies by using formula. This is a good and healthy alternative. Did you know that there is no generic for baby formula? All formula must meet standards that are regulated by the FDA.

You can use the Parent’s Choice baby formula calculator to find out the real financial benefit of using Parent’s Choice Infant Formula. There is no nutritional reason to buy the much more expensive formulas! The Parent’s Choice website can help you decide what is best for your baby and save money while at it!

It all boils down to choosing the best for you and your family.

I can hardly believe it! After 4 years, my violet bloomed!
