ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

A special thank you to my husband and daughters. I appreciate the sacrifices you made so I could write this book. I love you more than words can express.

To my book writing cheerleading team: Jodi Helmer, Leanne Farrell, Bonnie Shelton, Jennifer Osuch, Jane Baldwin, Lesslie B., Bob Wray, and my parents. I’m sincerely grateful for your support and for believing in me even when I didn’t. And thank you Andre at nextlevelreadiness.com for inspiring the family emergency plan template design.

A big shout out to my editor, Paul Kennedy. Thank you for your time, expert guidance and especially for the laughter. This book wouldn’t be as good without you.

Thanks to Jackie Musser, Patty Dunning, and all the folks at F+W who had a hand in this project and to Angela Paskett, without you, the project may never have happened.

Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to the readers at HomeReadyHome.com for continuing to stop by with advice, tips, and humor.
