Anyone who has had a baby knows that Gerber offers life insurance for infants and young children. What I bet you didn’t know is that they also offer term life insurance for adults. (Surprised? I sure was!)

If you are like me, you probably don’t know a lot about insurance, and wonder whether term or whole life coverage is the way to go? I actually found a great piece in Smart Money online that explains the difference between the two types of coverage, and why term is the better option for most people. (CNN Money also answered the term vs. whole life debate here.) In short, whole life is way more expensive because its like forced investing. True you can’t borrow against a term policy, but you are also paying so much less that you come out way ahead with a term plan.

If you are an adult between the ages of 18-60, Gerber offers term plans ranging from 10-30 years, and coverage between $25,000 to $150,000. You call for a term life insurance quote, lock in at a specific low rate during this period, and your premiums are guaranteed not to increase. Once you come to the end of the term, you will have the option to renew annually(no medical checkup is required), and rates are based on your age. Once you are signed up you have 30 days to review your policy, and you can cancel within that 30 days if you decide the plan is not right for you.

You can sign up online for free term life insurance quotes, or call 1-800-704-2180 and speak with a representative who can help you decide what kind of coverage is best for you and your family. The call costs you nothing, and the peace of mind from knowing your family is secure should the unexpected happen is priceless.

I’m used to getting out of the shower and finding the kids trying to watch me under the door. It was a whole new ballgame to open the door to find this-

Methinks Damian sent the poor lamb to do his dirty work

This weekend I ran across a bit on Google’s new MyBlogLog’esq service called Google Friend Connect. It’s in beta and not exactly open to the public yet, although you can sign up for the wait list. (Anyone else having Gmail flashbacks?)

As I was signing up I thought about it and realized I haven’t touched MyBlogLog in oh, roughly forever.  It was the coolest thing since Akismet when I first got on, but these days I don’t think too many people are using it to bloghop the way we used to.

So you tell me, is MyBlogLog still hot, or has it gone the way of those horrid discoball purses of last summer?
