Life is about choices. Whether it’s something as simple as what to make for
dinner or as complex as which type of chemotherapy will work best, we all have
decisions to make as well as adversities to overcome. How we choose to face
them determines which path in life we take. Every road has its bumps. The trick
is knowing how to successfully navigate around them.

I have a secret that I must share. I have rekindled an old relationship. As the
saying goes...it just happened. My discreet partner is thoughtful,
understanding,
and at times comforting on a cold, blustery day. When I need a moment of
silence on my way to carpool, I have it. When I need a friend to lean on after
a long day, I have one. Quite frankly, I never realized just how in tune Read More...
My friends are my lifeline. Let’s be honest, who else can you commiserate with
when you’re having a bad hair day? Husbands just don’t get it. Not to mention,
most of them are losing their hair anyway. All kidding aside, the special
moments shared with friends are what get us through the most difficult times in
life. Without them, we’d be lost.
Imagine then what it would be like if your Read More...
If you’ve never taken the family on a trip to Niagara Falls, you’re really
missing out. The sights and sounds of the roaring water majestically flowing
over the falls are like none other. Not to mention, crossing over the Canadian
Border is an adventure all in itself. We tend to forget about this natural
wonder which lies well within our reach.

Alcoholism is a disease that affects people from all walks of life. It’s hard
not to turn on the television these days without hearing about some celebrity
on his or her way to rehab. Even the radio plays its fair share of songs
lamenting the hardship of this addictive drug.

Family reunions can be exciting, stressful, and perhaps even life-changing
depending on the individual dynamics of your family. From the initial planning
stages to the execution of the big day, many factors contribute to its success.
Needless to say, some people wind up doing more than others, but the end result
is almost always worth the effort.

This time last month, we all were celebrating our country’s birthday. It’s
amazing how far we have come. From the Civil War to civil rights, we have made
great strides in history. Nowadays, our freedom seems to have become
commonplace. Quite frankly, it’s something we expect and rightfully so. Our
forefathers fought long and hard to make our nation what it is today. Yet many
countries around the globe do not have Read More...
Have you ever wondered what it would have been like growing up as a famous
child star? Take Miley Cyrus for instance. Thirty years from
now, will she still be remembered as the hit singing sensation and television
personality Hannah Montana? Or, will her greatest life achievement to
date simply be the role of a loving mother to her precious children?

Appearances can be deceiving. Just ask anyone like me who parks in a
handicapped spot. Sure, I may not look as if the space is warranted. The
doubtful glances make this apparent. But, the titanium parts along with the
aches and pains earn me the right to take a few less steps.

Imagine if you were related to some fascinating person in American history? How
cool would that be? If I were able to choose, I’d like to be related to Ben
Franklin or maybe even Thomas Jefferson. These scholarly men shaped the future
of our nation with their innovative ways of thinking. Then again, I wouldn’t
mind being a part of Martha Washington’s family either. So many excellent
choices!

Summertime is just about here. Warm weather filled with lazy days just hanging
out by the pool! And yes, in order to partake in all that fun a bathing suit is
most likely required! Quite frankly, that’s the one rite of summer most women
dread…trying to squeeze into a tiny bikini without spilling over.
Have no fear! This month’s Jen’s Jewels Read More...
Being the mother of two boys keeps me on my toes. From bullfrogs to mud pies,
there is never a dull moment. Despite the gender difference, we’ve come to an
understanding. Dirty socks, loud music, and sporting events are par for the
course. Neat rooms, manners, and a mutual respect for family members are non-
negotiable expectations in our home. Together, we have created a harmonious
family life.
