This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Scotts® for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Flooding does much more than dump tons of water on your property, I have found out.

Man, our health insurance is expensive. I can’t believe how expensive insurance, in general, is! It seems that most premiums are becoming out of reach of the average large family. The Hubs and I have been hashing through some of our expenses, trying to slash this or that. Insurance is where we are doing most […]
