What ever happened to...

Crispy m&m's?.....You were my favorite chocolate treat for a long time and then you disappeared off the shelves....where are you? I think the last time I had one, was when I was in high school. Please come back!

Whats your favorite chocolate treats? Any suggestions? I'm in need of something different other than reese's peanut butter cups...although i love those. oh and i'm not a big fan of dark chocolate.

Count Your Blessings

I KNOW THIS IS LONG BUT PLEASE READ IT.
    On Thursday, Kaden was on his way home from work. It was snowing and the roads were really bad. In a 3 mile stretch, there were 11 accidents and car slide offs. 4 or 5 cars in front of Kaden, a car lost control and started to slide, the car behind it hit it, and the one behind that hit that one. Every one slammed on their breaks attempting to avoid another pile up. The car in front of him started to spin when it tried to break, leaving Kaden 2 choices, either hit that car and be sandwiched from the car behind him or try to bail and rear off the road into the center ditch with the barricades. He chose the barricades. He hit black ice while trying to move off the road and ended up hitting the cable barricades going 50 miles an hour...the driver side of his car was crushed. He had to climb out the passenger side....the car is ruined but I still have my husband...
     I'm writing this because we were very lucky and Kaden walked away without a scratch. I'm grateful that my husband works for a great insurance company and we have great coverage and life insurance. I am asking ALL of you who read this, because you are all my friends and family, and maybe some just checking out from another blog, if you don't have life insurance and you are single with debt, married, have kids, a house, cars or other valuable items...do yourself and your family a favor and get Life insurance and make sure you have the right amount of coverage.
    Kaden's company, Farm Bureau, offers free Consultations and will give you a FREE Quote. Kaden can work one on one with any of you. Not only for your Life Insurance but for your cars, house, 4 wheelers, boats, RV's, businesses...everything. I'm not trying to sell you anything, but this was not an accident that we were at fault for, yet we have to pay for the damages. Luckily we will pay little out of pocket, if any at all because we have the BEST insurance we possibly can. And had Kaden been permanently hurt or been killed, I would not have been left with the burden of a mortgage, car payments, my kids college education and plain just feeding my children. So please email Kaden at kaden.marble@fbfs.com. if you would like to see what other options you have. You ALL mean a lot to me whether we are friends, sisters, brothers, cousins, aunts or uncles or if you were Kaden's friends and I have no idea who you are. Even if we haven't talked in a long time or we were only friends in high school or college, send kaden an email with your name and phone number and say you read this and would like him to help you out. Even if you have coverage through another company, you may not have the right amount of coverage and or you may just be overpaying. I know money can be tight for a lot of us sometime or another and Kaden may be able to save you money. You'll never know unless you check into it. 
     I'm grateful my husband is okay. Cars and 'things' can be replaced but he cannot. I love all of you and I hope you all take advantage of this because you never know when something could happen. Don't put if off today because you may not have a chance tomorrow.

We are excited for the New Year! Our kids get smarter and bigger every day and sometimes it makes me sad how fast they grow up. But the older they get, the funner they are! Here's a great start to the New Year!

 I can't believe how big they are!
HAPPY 2011!
