My family is so very important to me, they are the world to
me. Growing up as a young girl I lived with my extended family in a small home,
that was filled with grandparents, cousins and aunts and uncles, just
overflowing with love. Today life is
quite different, my family is a small 3 person family free of the hustle and
bustle I grew up with. Sure it may be more quiet and less stressful at times
(having all of those family members in one home was a bit trying at times…) but
I miss the closeness we had in my family when I was little… We are still close,
but not as literally…
The Jimenez family is part of a larger family: The Jimenez
brothers are 4, 3 wives, 8 children and one grandmother. The three married
brothers live right next to each other with connecting backyards and the fourth
brother lives close by. The grandmother is right there with them, living in the
house with Juan and his family where she raised her children. This family is blessed
to be so close together, but not to have to live in the same home together..
Being in close proximity is such a great thing for the entire family.
Like the Jimenez Family we share special bond. We also have a commitment in
life is to pass on their traditional values and Hispanic roots in the younger
generation. With my family there was always someone to lean on, and depend on…
if you had to be picked up from school, and my mom was still at work, my uncle,
or aunt would happily help out. We always had big parties, and cook outs, just fun family times.
Sharing Mexican and Colombian backgrounds, Juan is always
making sure his children grow up learning and absorbing all the obtainable
knowledge from their mom and grandma, in order to make the right choices when
reaching their adult life, as well as keep taking care of each other as a
family.
Having family in Mexico, can be rough, like the Jiménez
family, we have assorted family in Mexico, some my daughter has never even met,
but we still try to stay as close as we can, with online video chats, and old fashioned
writing, sending pictures, and artwork a communication for me that will never
go out of style, and never change, just like the love for my large family.
Something else that will never change is the quality
products that Johnson & Johnson provides my family. We have been fans of the various
Johnson family products for many years. Our closets are filled with family
favorites that have been staples in our homes for many years, when our children
needed shampoo, Johnson's baby shampoo was always the choice. When my daughter
has a cut, from her baby years to her tween years today Neosporin was always a
must in our medicine cabinet.
Like
the Jiménez family soccer is very big with my daughter and this
brings on scrapes and scratches.. but no worry with Neosporin, it helps
heal wounds four days faster (than a bandage alone) the patented Technology helps
get results two days faster (than store
brands)* We know that Neosporin provides 24-Hour infection protection, and Minimizes
the appearance of scars that is why we
are such big fans of this quality product. Our family is a modern family, who may be a
little different than the family I grew up in, but we are still all so close,
and I want to keep it that way so my daughter will appreciate the closeness of
a loving family. I am so happy that the Jiménez family was chosen to be the Familia de Hoy to me they are what I see as the
perfect La Familia de Hoy.
What would you say it
takes to make a Modern Family today?

I think love makes a modern family.
I grew up i a large family. And we have cousins all very close to use. SO family get togethers for us; looked like everyone else's family reunions. Little did they know this was a "small" thing for us.
Now that we are all grown up; we have spread out a bit more. And it is rather sad. I miss the closeness we used to have.
We use a lot of modern technology to try to keep the closeness with family members that have moved the longest distance away.
I have a large family however we are all spread out which is incredibly depressing especially around the holidays.
LOVE! Really all you need is love.
I think modern families can be whatever love brings!
Love and acceptance!
What a beautiful family.
