Mardi Gras is in FULL SWING!
The beads are flying, the music is bumpin’, and the parades are rolling! As your friendly neighborhood insurance agent, we want you to “have all the fun” and make it home safely to tell the stories.
A few quick safety tips while you laissez les bons temps rouler:
* Mind your belongings– Crowds are prime time for lost phones and wallets. Keep valuables zipped up and close.
* Wear smart shoes– Cute is great, but comfy and sturdy wins when you’re standing (and dancing) for hours.
* Plan your ride– If you’re drinking, don’t drive. Use a rideshare, designated driver, or public transportation.
* Watch the floats & ladders– Keep a safe distance and keep an eye on kids climbing for throws.
Know the forecast– Rain or shine, be prepared so weather doesn’t ruin your good time.
Mardi Gras memories should be fun ones, not insurance claims. If you have questions about protecting your car, home, or yourself during parade season, we are always here.
Stay safe, catch all the beads, and Happy Mardi Gras!

Super Bowl Sunday = Friends, Food & Football!
Hosting friends at your place for the big game? Love it. As your friendly insurance agent, here’s a quick reminder to keep the fun stress free:
* Make sure guests have a safe ride home if drinks are involved
* Keep walkways clear and food coming (no one makes good decisions hungry)
* Accidents happen; homeowners or renters’ insurance may help if a guest gets hurt.
A little planning goes a long way so you can focus on the game, the commercials, and the wings.
If you have questions about your coverage or want extra peace of mind, I’m always happy to help. Have a great Super Bowl Sunday!

Auto insurance has come a long way since cars first hit the road in the late 1800s.
The first known auto liability policy in the U.S. was written for Gilbert J. Loomis in 1897, protecting him if his car injured someone or damaged property. As cars became more common and crashes more costly, states began stepping in, with Massachusetts becoming the first state to require car insurance in the 1920s. From simple liability coverage to today’s comprehensive, customizable policies, auto insurance has evolved to keep up with technology, traffic, and the way we live on the road.
