Cleaning Out the Night-Stand Drawer

Spring has always been about working in the yard, doing some much needed house cleaning and taking or planning some long weekend trips with the family! At the same time all the local flowers shops start putting out their various displays, everyone begins ordering mulch or pine straw for their yards and you start seeing more advertisements for different ways to get your home organized. If you are like most families the Night-Stand Drawer beside your bed contains more documents and junk than all the other drawers in the house combined! Unfortunately, more times than not it is skipped over during spring cleaning.

Did you know it is usually the first drawer a family member goes to when a loved one dies? Over the years I have heard numerous stories of family members cleaning out the Night-Stand Drawer searching for the life insurance policy, only to find pictures and cards from birthdays and anniversaries past of the loved one they just lost! I am all about keeping your homes and yards looking great, but if your family has to put a “For Sale” sign in the front yard because the Night-Stand Drawer was empty and no life insurance policy was in place, then all that dusting, painting and planting was done for the new homeowner!

This spring take a few moments away from the home chores and the yard work and meet with an insurance agent to make certain that your family will continue to enjoy the memories you made in the place you made them, your home!
