My kids

I have four children and 1 step-daughter. My ex-husband calls her my ex-stepdaughter. (How can he say that!!) God blessed me with three sons, one daughter and one step-daughter.

My oldest is my son Brian. He is an awesome salesperson and I've known him the longest....he has been with me since I was 21 years old. Way too young to be a mother, right? Well, back then it was just the right timing. Brian has been married to his beautiful bride Esther for a little over a year.

Next is my son Brodie. Brodie has a intelligent, financial mind and is perfect for creating a budget. He has done so for me! Brodie works full time in a bank and goes to college full time. Brodie and his fiance Sara have been together for a long time. They are great together!

Randy Luke lives too far away from me and I miss him so much. Randy is smart, funny, successful, and an old soul. Randy has a sensitive heart and people really gravitate toward him. He is tall dark and handsome and he lives with his partner Rich in the Philly area. Randy Luke and I laugh at the same, stupid jokes. I adore him. Randy works in a bank as a financial specialist.

I'm going to skip over my daughter Rachael for a minute and talk about my step-daughter Loni. When my husband divorced me, he moved to another state and took his daughter with him. I consider Loni as my own, because I helped raise her for many years. Loni is a pretty girl with beautiful white blonde hair. Loni has a great heart and loves animals. I miss her terribly and hope that one day she will be allowed to visit me. Loni is now 14 and I believe that when Loni turns 18 she will come and look for me and I will be waiting for her.

Last but not least is my baby girl Rachael. Rachael entered this world 21 years ago, my first girl after having 3 boys. She was so very wanted! Rachael is gorgeous, headstrong, dynamic, funny and witty. I just found out a short time ago that my baby Rachael is having a baby. Rachael and her boyfriend of 3 years Aaron are tickled pink. To be honest I was very surprised, but also I feel very blessed. My very first grandchild!

I thank God every day for putting these wonderful children in my life. They happen to be the #1 most important people in my life.

I would love to hear about your families, too! Drop me a note at barbara@bestlifebarb.com and tell me about them! We may feature your story on an upcoming Best Life Barb show.
