Three's a Crowd
I am not happy about the dynamic my fiancé has created between me and his ex-wife regarding their teenage children. I've become the bad cop, although I am doing all I can not to interfere with their parenting. I would like for all of us to speak to a counselor together. This is not a conversation I look forward to having, and I would like to come prepared with a short list of professionals who can get our new family on the right track. If you have a therapist who you highly recommend, I'd love to hear from you.

Hedge Your Bet
We need to replace the hedges in our backyard with something tall, dense and relatively fast growing. We like the look of bamboo. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy bamboo and tips on the specific varieties? Are the "clumping" bamboos easy to maintain or do they also spread? Suggestions on other types of tall hedges are welcome as well!

Flood Insurance Changes Rolling In From Ashley Cusack: REPLY  In case you haven't heard about this yet, I wanted to alert you to an insurance change that will likely affect many of us in Miami-Dade County. Effective October 1, the federal government is beginning to phase out subsidized flood insurance policies in order to make the National Flood Insurance Program financially solvent. With the devastation from Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, the program is in major debt and in need of change. The program covers about 5.5 million homes nationally and almost 1.1 million of those are subsidized. So what does this mean for you? In some cases, flood insurance rates could increase by as much as 25%. However, not everyone will have such dramatic changes. Most policies will see at least a 5% increase though with further increases possible as the effects of this change take place. Touch base with your insurance provider to find out how this will affect you. Click HERE to learn more about the real estate market.* |

It's Never Too Late to Impact a Child's Life
For teens in foster care, an 18th birthday can be a scary, rather than celebratory time and it means growing up fast. The lack of guidance and presence of a stable positive role model in their life can leave them unprepared to handle the responsibilities that come with adulthood. That is why it's never too late to step in and be that guiding force that will make the difference between heading out into the world with confidence or beginning a new life with anguish over the unknown. Click HERE or visit us on Facebook to find out more about Our Kids and its teen foster care program.*
