Taking Care Of The 'Just In Case'

As a mom of two kids - my husband and I felt it was necessary to have a few things done right away... Get a will set up.... Pick guardians that love our kids... and get life insurance so our children would never be without... When we first started this process we had no idea where to begin....

Getting an estate planner to handle the will was pretty basic... But life insurance - not so easy to figure out... When we first started investigating what life insurance was... there were many decisions to make... such as... Did we want term life or whole life...? How much did we want to spend... for how much coverage... What companies were reputable. We had so many questions...

The first thing we had to do was start at the beginning... How do we find life insurance quotes? Quotes for Term life... Quotes for whole life... We needed to find a way to educate ourselves about life insurance so that we can make the right decision. After we determined what direction we wanted to go we needed to get life insurance quote comparisons.. Again - that is a difficult thing to do if you did not know where to go....

We were lucky to find http://www.lifeinsurancequotes.net - it took the hassle of going through the many search engines - trying to find a few good companies.. then having to talk to salespeople who wanted our business but would take too much time away from my day.... I am not the most patient person - so getting life insurance quotes at my finger tips was more my style....

If you are in the market for affordable life insurance - check them out.... I am glad we did... I think it is so important to be prepared for the "Just in Case" things that can happen but pray that they don't... I can tell you from personal experience - knowing that all of this stuff is done - it takes a worry out of traveling...a worry out of just in case something happens to us - I know my kids are covered at least financially and are with people who love them...

Well, When I Was A Kid....

Today I realized that I say the dreaded phrase that I promised myself as a young child that I would never ever no matter what say..... You know that one phrase that always got us kids groaning... Rolling our eyes (behind the grown ups back of course) The Phrase..."Well, when I was a kid...." Yep, I have become a grown up... a bore... a "well I had it harder when I was kid" kind of mom.... Oh no...... The truth has become apparent .....

I've Become My Mother.....

Phrases I am guilty of saying......

When I was a kid.... I never was allowed to have attitude with my parents or I would be in trouble.

When I was a kid.... I took the city bus to and from school - you have it easy, kid....

When I was a kid.... I NEVER talked back to my parents...

When I was a kid.... I ALWAYS NOT dressed appropriately....

When I was a kid.... My parents always knew where I was except the times I would sneak out my window

When I was a kid.... I waited until I met your dad before I had my first kiss.. try saying that with a straight face

When I was a kid.... I was making dinner for the family before the age of 10! okay, this never really actually happened.. but I did set the table!

I can't use the die hard phrase my mom would always use - Well, when I was a kid - I had to walk ten (10) miles in the snow.. up hill.... in a dress to school everyday.. But I still have a feeling... my kids are groaning and rolling their eyes behind my back... What do you think?
