All of us know what it’s like to be sick! It’s pretty crummy. A sick kid isn’t able to tell their parents exactly what’s wrong when they are little and that’s pretty crummy too! I remember when my daughter and second child was diagnosed with RSV and it was horrible. I could feel the misery just seeping out of her and, as you can see, she looked the part too. Sick just got real for me a second time around because there was no way I could have prevented this unless I kept her in a plastic bubble.

We don’t have to tell you that mommy-hood is life’s greatest balancing act (you live it!). Between over-packed schedules and playdates, sticky messes and scraped knees, late nights and early morning wakeup calls, you’ve been through it all. Somedays it may seem the minute you even start thinking about a little “me” time, disaster strikes, and that’s only when everyone in the household is healthy! Add a sick little one to the mix and nothing else seems to matter.

I have noticed that of all different types of insurance, health care insurance is the most debatable because of the turmoil between the insurance plan company’s obligation to remain making money and the customer’s need to have insurance policy. Insurance companies’ earnings on health plans are incredibly low, hence some firms struggle to earn profits. Thanks for the strategies you write about through your blog.|
