For me, disaster is an “It’ll never happen to me” thing. Living in the prairies and far from fault lines, I feel fairly safe from hurricanes, earthquakes and the like. But natural disasters happen, and they can happen to anyone. As can break ins, fires and any number of other tragedies.

My goal is not to depress you or increase your anxiety, but to share an awesome product with you.

In the name of preparedness, T.O.P. favourite Buttoned Up has developed a great resource for recording all of your valuables room by room. Valuables.doc contains easy to follow forms to ensure you document the right information and capture critical policy details so you’ll be prepared should you ever need to file a claim. We hope you don’t, but should you ever be in a situation where you must, you’ll be glad you made the $25 investment in Valuables.doc.

Win one and protect yourself ~ email theopinionatedparent@gmail.com with VALUABLES in the subject line and tell us which of the five Buttoned Up products that we’ve featured over the past five weeks would be of the most use in your home. Contest closes Monday at midnight. Congratulations Kelsa!
