Family. My family is sooooo very important to me. I don’t know where in life I would be without them. I grew up in a very close knit home and have always known my extended relatives. Here we are when I was in my college days:
I love them all sooo, sooo, sooo much! Right now my family is experiencing a health crisis. Please keep my mom in your prayers.
It’s difficult when tragedy strikes. Life is precious and we never expect things to change from good to bad. When it does happen it really puts things into perspective and reminds me never to take anything for granted.
I also love my little family so very much. Here’s our most recent family picture:
Gotta get an update now that Ruby has joined us!
In terms of providing for our family the husband and I are major plan aheaders. For instance we drafted our Will prior to even having children. Provisions were made for any “future” children. Something that we have been talking about lately has been life insurance. My audiologist man hubs is the one who brought it up to me after having a discussion about it at work. I guess even though I do like to plan ahead the whole life insurance thing (at first) made me nervous. I thought that I would get all worried about death or something. But it doesn’t have to be like that. Planning ahead for my children’s future does involve life insurance. Plain and simple. I want them to be provided for. I don’t want them to have to worry about added expenses in the future, because I didn’t plan ahead now. So it’s good that my husband brought it up. It’s something that we need to look into and it doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact it can be quite easy, painless, and we can even get life insurance quotes online. No time like the present. It’s a new year and the perfect time to starting planning ahead.
I was compensated for this post by Aptus Insurance, but all opinions are 100% mine.

Hi! Ruth with http://shoppingtipsandtricks.com visiting you from the weekend blog hop!
You have such a cute family. Love the personalization.
Lovely family pictures! I also think family is very important and have many albums with pictures of my family. Sadly I have already lost 3 of my immediate family members – my father when I was 13, my twin sister in 2008 and my brother Sutcliffe last December 28. It has been a very difficult time but I am fighting on. Take care of your wonderful family. I will certainly pray for your mom. I am a new Follower of your Blog.
