Ive been thinking a lotabout this lately. I met the

most beautiful woman Id

ever had the pleasure of laying

my eyes on in 1984, at 23 years

of age. Her name was Teresa

Faith, but her friends called her

Terry. We started working

together in 1984, which simul-

taneously led to a romance.

She accepted my proposal ofmarriage shortly after, making

it official on June 1, 1986.

If you think about it for a

moment, most husbands and

wives go their separate ways

each day for at least eight hours

of the working day. She to her

job and he to his. When chil-

dren enter the picture, she usu-

ally stays home and he usuallygoes to work, so they are still

separated those eight hours,

plus commuting time and over-

time. Weekends might allow

the spouses some time together,

unless there is another part-

time job for either one of them

or both. At the very least, the

kids extracurricular and sport-

ing activities challenge thattime as well, leaving them

apart for the majority of the

Saturdays and Sundays, for

nearly two decades. If one of

them bowls, plays golf reli-

giously or engages in a club

activity, that is even more time

they spend apart. Some married

couples spend time apart with

friends acquired during highschool or college fraternity or

sorority; others spend separate

time pursuing a hobby or

attending classes for self-

advancement. All wonderful

activities and opportunities.

But not me. No, my course was

a little different.

You see, Terry and I have

been doing everything together

24 hours a day for 29 years now.

Ever since we met, weve basi-cally spent everyday side-by-

side. We worked seven days a

week for the company that

brought us together for seven

years. Then we built a business

together. Diversified Financial

Services Group started in 1991

in Pompton Lakes and moved

to Wayne 10 years later. In

2006, that company morphed

into the first and foremost fran-

chise in the retirement andestate planning industry,

American Prosperity Group,

which now spans 10 states with

18 offices.

During the same time

and I give Terry all of the cred-

it we grew our family size

from a hard working dynamic

couple to a bustling family of

six! Terry brought Chelsie, our

first child, to the office every

day; when she became mobile;we expanded our office to

include a nursery for her and

her new brother, Zachary, near-

ly four years later. When Zac

grew a little lonely, Jack Benny

was born in 1998 and we added

an addition to our newly

acquired home so I could bring

the office into the house to

continue working with my wife

and life partner every day. Two

years later, Jack wanted a little

brother to play with, and

Sammy showed up to be his lit-

tle buddy!Terry and I continued to

work together every day, help-

ing the community with their

retirement and estate-planning

needs. We are proud that we

have been able to build our

family and family business

simultaneously over these past

29 years. I did the marriage cal-

culation to determine that

based on the comparison to

what Ill call normally mar-ried couples if you count up

all of the hours we have spent

together everyday, we have

been married about four times

longer than other couples of

the same vintage. 29 years

together, multiplied by four,

equals 116 years. So there you

have it folks, Ive been married

to the sexiest and most remark-

able woman in the world for

116 years! She has let me pur-sue my goals, dreams and ambi-

tions, and not only stood by my

side with constant and never-

ending support, but was an

active participant in all of them

with great expense to her indi-

vidual goals and dreams, as


Ive added it up: Im married 116 years! By Mark Charnet

well. I am convinced that the

greatest force in business is a

husband and wife working

together side-by-side with a

common goal and objective.They are powerful enough to

overcome a major recession,

the worst stock market crashes

in the nations history and the

worst real estate market

decline. Though President

Obama recently stated that we

didnt build our businesses our-

selves, I beg to differ! Not only

did we build it ourselves, but we

built it with American values,

American pride and Americaningenuity.

Im not afraid to say I

love my wife and I would be

here neither financially nor

physically if she were not by my

side every day especially

when I underwent heart-bypass

surgery and suffered 10 strokes

and other complications,

resulting in a 43-day hospital

stay.

Yes, there was a two-week

period of time when we werenot together every day. I con-

tracted an infection during my

hospital stay and she, being by

my side for 19 days straight,

caught the same infection,

resulting in hospitalization for

the next 14 days in a separate

hospital. Our daughter had to

be the advocate for two parents

in two different hospitals at the

same time, while in grad-school

and working two part-timejobs. She also had to be the sur-

rogate mom for her three

younger brothers. I guess its

true when they say the apple

doesnt fall far from the tree!

After completing her MS

in education, Chelsie is now

the director of Brainy-Acts, a

high-tech and progressive new

tutoring and educational cen-

ter, located adjacent to the

National Headquarters of

American Prosperity Group at901 Route 23 South in

Pompton Plains (just above the

Lakeland Bank).

Im reaching for 250 years

of marriage and growing our

retirement and estate-planning

firm across the nation.

Through our franchisee net-

work, we can reach as many

community members as possi-

ble, sharing the message of

responsible retirement andestate planning through the

Trinity Method of Investing

and the Seven Ps: Proper

Prior Planning Prevents Poor

Performance Period!

Terry and I continue to

work together every day, lov-

ing it and each other even

more. We hope you will take

advantage of the free informa-

tion found on our websites, as

well as our never-ending retire-

ment and estate-planningworkshops, which are present-

The days when single

income households

were the norm are long

gone, as nowadays both Mom

and Dad must work in order to

make ends meet. That reality

has left many women juggling

the obligations of motherhood

with the obligations of a suc-cessful career.

Such a juggling act is sel-

dom easy, and many mothers

find themselves neglecting one

obligation for the benefit of

another. The following are a

few tips to make balancing

work and family a little easier.

Share the responsibilities.

While the days of the single-

income household may be a

thing of the past, many of theconventions of those days

remain. Women may still feel

the responsibility to cook fami-

ly meals, clean up after the

children and make it to all of

their childrens sporting events

or other school-related events.

But those responsibilities

should be shared so women can

ensure theyre giving both their

careers and families the atten-

tion each deserves. Devise aschedule where both parents

tackle such responsibilities

equally so each parent knows

when they have some wiggle

room. For example, if your hus-

band routinely cooks on

Tuesdays, then you know you

wont need to rush home on

Tuesday night and you might

be able to stay at the office a lit-

tle later to work on a project or

catch up on work. Such sharingand scheduling can consider-

ably reduce the stress of jug-

gling a family and a career.

Exercise daily. Juggling a

family and a career is often

stressful, and stress can have a

very adverse effect on your

health. Women with high

stress levels are more likely tosuffer from depression, anxiety

and cardiovascular disease. But

the American Psychological

Association

notes the posi-

tive impact of

exercise as a means to

alleviating stress, citing studies

that have shown that physical-ly active people have lower

rates of anxiety and depression

than people who are sedentary.

Its easy to become irritable

when stressed, and no mother

wants to be irritable in the pres-

ence of her children.

Incorporating exercise into

your daily routine is

a great way to

a l l e v i a t e

the stressof jug-

gling a

family

and a

career,

and you

can even

incorporate

your family

into your exercise

routine, going for nightly walks

after dinner or playing withyour children in the yard.

Stay involved with your

childs school. Many mothers

find staying active with their

childrens school is a great

opportunity for them to bond

with their kids and keep abreast

of developments at their

school. Such involvement can

be minimal, such as attending a

monthly luncheon with kids or

agreeing to be a chaperone onone or two class trips per year.

Such events are typically

scheduled months in advance,

so you should have ample time

to arrange a break from the

office without neglecting your

professional responsibilities.

Take advantage of work-

from-home policies. As tech-

nology has advanced, many

companies have become much

more lenient with regard toemployees working from home.

If your company allows you to

Business fraud is every-

where. It can range

from employees pilfer-

ing small items from the

office to embezzling hundreds

of thousands of dollars. And

crimes may be committed by

anyone from the lowest-paid

clerk to a long-time officer.

All too often, business own-

ers are oblivious to wrongdo-

ings or they simply refuse to

acknowledge the possibilities

until its too late.

Dont make the same

mistakes as countless other

victims. Here are five practi-

cal suggestions for thwarting

workplace fraud.

1.Keep your eyes wide open.

View your operation like an

outsider and identify the

areas that appear ripe for

fraud. If a security problem

persists, dont ignore it and

simply hope it will vanish.

Confront the toughest issues

head-on.

2.Review and adjust internal

controls. Accountants often

pinpoint this area as a main

culprit. Install a system of

checks and balances and reg-

ularly monitor activities.

Note that employees may be

deterred from theft if the

process is well-documented.

Otherwise, they may think

they wont be caught.

3.Develop reporting and

investigation procedures.

Encourage your employees to

come forth about suspicious

activities, but keep matters

confidential. When its war-

ranted, respond promptly

and decisively. You will also

discourage fraud by showing

that actions have conse-

quences.

4.Dont become complacent.

Even if no fraud is detected

after an initial sweep, you

must remain vigilant.

Continue to adhere to the

procedures youve estab-

lished. Also, make sure that

you follow through on any

unresolved issues to their

completion.

5.Rely on your professional

advisors. For instance, an

attorneys services may be

required if you decide to seek

legal damages, while an

accountant can help imple-

Have you ever won-

dered why many of

the most beautiful

plants we see in New Jersey

only last a few weeks out of

the year? Why is it that cer-

tain garden vegetables are

only in season for a specific

part of the year? The reason

is that these plants are

annuals.

Strictly speaking, an

annual plant is one that com-

pletes its growing cycle in the

course of a single growing

season. The plant grows from

a seed, blooms and produces

seed all within one season. In

other words, annuals pack a

lot of living into a short span

of time! Some annual plant

life cycles may occur in as lit-

tle as one month, while some

species last through several

months.

With spring in full

swing, its time to begin

thinking about annual plant-

ing. Take advantage of this

time to grow an edible gar-

den! A large variety of food

plants are either annual

plants or grown in season,

including virtually all domes-

ticated grains. Corn, wheat,

rice, lettuce, peas, watermel-

on and beans are all examples

of annual food plants.

Additionally, the vast

majority of flowers are also

considered annual. They are

incredibly versatile plants

that are suitable for contain-

ers, window boxes, flower-

beds, and elsewhere. Dont

let the season pass you by

without having a set of beau-

tiful annual flowers to adorn

your home!

Gro Rite Garden Center

in Lincoln Park offers a wide

variety of annual seeds and

potted plants to make your

garden functional and your

yard beautiful. Experts are

always available to provide

advice. Visit them at 30

Acta Odontologica

Scandinvica indicates that

bleaching with large quantities

of hydrogen peroxide

between 35 and 38 percent,

the strength of in-office

whitening treatments can

change the makeup of enamel.

Dental products have recently

begun advertising that they

can help rebuild enamel and

whiten teeth using remineraliz-

ing agents. However, these

agents dont necessarily help

teeth recoup their enamel after

whitening procedures.

Researchers conducted an

experiment with bovine teeth

whitened by hydrogen perox-

ide with strength of 35 to 38

percent. The makeup of the

enamel was studied 24 hours

after treatment, and again after

two weeks. Half of the samples

were then exposed to a rem-

ineralizing agent.

Teeth exposed to the rem-

ineralizing agent showed the

highest microhardness after 24

hours. The microhardness

level, however, was not the

same after 14 days. Also, the

structure and makeup for all of

the samples after 14 days

showed many abnormalities.

The concept of such new

remineralizing agents being

added to toothpastes and rinses

is still controversial.

For 10 years, St. Michaels

Episcopal Church in

Wayne and its mission

team have sponsored an

orphanage in Kenya. To cele-

brate this anniversary, the

church will host a special pro-

gram called A Decade of

Dedication with music and

Kenyan food on Sunday, May

5 at 10am.

The Our Kids in Kenya

(OKIK) program supports

orphans whose parents died

of AIDS. The Upendo

Childrens Home in Kaka-

mega provides food, shelter,

medical care and education

until the youths complete

high school or turn 18.

Without St. Michaels

mission work, these children

would be living on the street,

said Patti Pfeiffer, mission team

chair. We pay to send the

youngsters through high

school, whereas many orphan-

ages dont send teens past

eighth grade.

Rev. David Esipila, a U.S.

citizen who grew up in

Kakamega and serves as associ-

ate priest at St. Michaels,

founded the orphanage in 2003

with parishioners from Wayne

and area towns. The founders

vision was to help orphans

whose extended families could-

nt raise them. As the children

matured, the team increased

services to address life skills and

career counseling. OKIK

recently bought a sewing

machine and started a chicken

coop project to help the young-

sters become more self-suffi-

cient.

Donations to the mission,

marked OKIK St. Michaels

Church, would be greatly

appreciated. Please send your

contributions at any time to: St.

Michaels Episcopal Church,

1219 Ratzer Road, Wayne, NJ

D

uring its first few hours

of life, your kitten

receives natural imm-

unity against most diseases

from its mothers first milk, the

colostrum. But eventually your

kittens immune system will

have to fend for itself.

Vaccinations provide your kit-

ten good protection against

some life-threatening diseases.

Heres an explanation of the

vaccines you need or may want

to consider, as recommended

by your veterinarian.

1. FVR-C-P. The upper respira-

tory infection seen in cats is a

complex clinical disease. FVR-

C-P protects your cat against

the two viruses most likely to

cause an upper respiratory

infection in your cat feline

rhinotracheitis (feline herpes

virus) and feline calicivirus.

Infections with these viruses

can cause discharge from the

nose or eye, respiratory prob-

lems, mouth sores, anorexia

and abortion. FVR-C-P also

protects against panleukope-

nia feline distemper an

acute gastrointestinal viral

infection associated with a

sudden onset, depression,

vomiting, diarrhea, dehydra-

tion and a high mortality rate.

These vaccines require boost-

ers two to four weeks apart;

the last dose is given at 12 to

16 weeks.

2. FeLV. Feline leukemia virus

vaccines are available for

interested cat owners. This

vaccine is recommended only

for those cats with high expo-

sure potential, such as outdoor

cats, show cats and those liv-

ing in multiple-cat households

(even if all are considered

indoor-only). Before trying

out the FeLV vaccine, have

your cat tested to see if it

already has the disease. Half of

all cats who get FeLV will die

from complications associated

with the disease. Consult with

your veterinarian if this vac-

cine is right for your cat.

3. FIP. Feline Infectious

Peritonitis, which is associated

with anorexia, weight loss,

growth stunting, gradually

developing potbelly and fever,

has a very high mortality rate.

A vaccine was developed six

years ago and can be given to

cats older than 16 weeks of age.

It requires two doses, three to

four weeks apart. The effective-

ness of this vaccine in prevent-

ing this fatal feline disease is

still being tested and is debat-

able; therefore, most veterinar-

ians do not recommend this

vaccine at this time.

4. Rabies. Most of us associate

rabies with the mad dog froth-

ing at the mouth, eager to bite

anything near it. Although this

is a common presentation in

countries where there is a very

high population of unvaccinat-

ed stray dogs, in the U.S., rabies

usually appears in wild animals.

Rabies vaccination is required

in New Jersey and can be

administered at greater than 12

weeks of age in felines. All

warm-blooded animals

including you can get rabies.

The prognosis, unfortunately, is

fatal.

Few medical procedures

are without risk. While trying

to prevent disease in your cat,

there is a small chance that

harm may be done. Veterinar-

ians have observed a chance

of developing a vaccine-asso-

ciated sarcoma at a rate of 20

per 100,000 cats. A veterinary

task force, the American

Veterinary Medical

Foundation, has been

assigned to this prob-

lem and makes the fol-

lowing statement on its

website: Disturbing as

this issue may be, there

is great concern that cat own-

ers, attempting to keep their

cats from harm, may forgo

vaccination entirely. The

result? Though well inten-

tioned, these owners may be

placing cats at far greater risk

of acquiring a fatal infection

than any risk the vaccine

poses. And in the case of

rabies, human health is at risk

as well.

After your vaccinations,

ask your veterinarian to point

out where the injections were

placed and then keep an eye on

those sites. If you notice a firm,

painless swelling located near a

previous vaccination site, con-

tacts your veterinarian.

Your local veterinarian

can provide more information

about vaccinations for your pet.

What is given often depends

on the risk of specific diseases

in your geographic area, your

pets lifestyle and state laws.

Protect your companion

animals and yourself by paying

a visit to your local veterinari-

an and following the suggested

vaccination protocol.

Receiving the Sacra-

ment of the Eucharist

is a momentous event

in a young Christ-ians life,

marking one of the first steps

he or she takes in individual

faith formation. Children

who receive the Eucharist are

further initiated into the

church and this enables them

to receive Communion at

each and every mass there-

after, provided they remain in

good standing with the

church.

Christian families place

great significance on the

Eucharist and most want to

commemorate the occasion

with a party. Some people

treat it as they would a wed-

ding or Sweet 16 party, invit-

ing friends and extended fam-

ily members. Others prefer to

keep the celebration a bit

more intimate. Regardless of

the size of the party, there are

some tips to make it a memo-

rable affair thats fun for

everyone.

Dont start planning

until you confirm the date of

the ceremony. Some church-

es have one date on which

they hold administer to all

candidates at a special mass.

Others may stagger the cere-

monies over the course of

several dates and may inter-

twine their Eucharist cere-

monies with the regular mass

schedule. Either way, parents

should confirm the date

months in advance so they

have ample time to schedule

parties and shop for appropri-

ate attire.

Reserve your date quick-

ly. Once you know the date of

the ceremony, do not delay if

you plan to hold a party at a

restaurant or intend to hire a

caterer for a party at home.

Not only will you be compet-

ing for dates with other par-

ents whose children will also

be receiving the sacrament,

but also you may be going up

against those planning April

or May weddings or gradua-

tion parties. If there is a par-

ticular restaurant or banquet

hall you have in mind,

reserve the date quickly and

leave a deposit to secure the

reservation.

Consider a catered affair.

Very often a Communion

reception takes place shortly

after the ceremony at church.

This means guests will go

directly from the church to

the party. Catering the party

will ensure food is ready as

your guests arrive. This also

cuts down on the amount of

preparatory work you will

have to do. Restaurants, delis,

fast-food establishments,

warehouse centers, and super-

markets are all viable cater-

ing options depending on the

scale of the party. To keep

costs down, buy frozen, pre-

made foods from the grocery

store, and then simply heat

them up for guests.

Hire entertainment. If

the party will be a larger affair

with a number of children in

attendance, it may pay to hire

an entertainer like a magi-

cian, balloon artist or deejay

to keep everyone entertained

and occupied. Again, since

many Communion cere-

monies take place in the

spring when wedding recep-

tions and graduation parties

also take place, reserve your

entertainers early on.

Remember to give the deejay

a play list that will include

music for all ages in atten-

dance.

A young person receiv-

ing the Sacrament of the

Eucharist is something worth

celebrating. Ensure your

party is a success by planning

out the details in advance

and hosting the best party

you can within your desired

budget.

Reality television has gar-

nered its share of devot-

ed viewers, many of

whom happen to be young

females. Statistics indicate the

number of tween and teenage

girls tuning into to see their

favorite reality TV is on the rise.

According to data from Ogilvy

Public Relations, roughly 43

percent of tween or teenage girls

are regular viewers of reality tel-

evision, while 30 percent tend

to watch sporadically. Some

may wonder how reality TV

affects the perceptions of young

women. According to a survey

conducted by the Girl Scout

Research Institute, girls who

routinely view reality TV are

more focused on physical

appearance, and more than one-

third think that a girls value is

based on how she looks. The

study also pointed out that girls

views on reality show behavior

tends to pit girls against one

another to make the show seem

more exciting. The research is

not all negative, however. Some

survey respondents said reality

TV made them feel more

empowered and that they can

achieve anything in life.

Others said the shows highlight-

ed the plights of teenagers and

young women, helping young

women realize there are other

young women in situations sim-

ilar to their own.

Spring has sprung formost areas of the coun-

try and the average

homeowners to-do list like-

ly has its share of outdoor

landscaping tasks that need to

be tackled. The right tools canmake easier work of outdoor

chores.

A report from the

Associated Landscape Con-

tractors of America titled

Economic Benefits ofLandscape states that land-

scaping can add as much as 14

percent to the resale value of a

building and speed its sale by

as much as 6 weeks.

Homeowners looking to sell

their home or just improve its

market value will want to

consider landscaping a viable

investment. A March 2003

article in Smart Money noted

that homeowners can expectto earn back 150 percent or

more of their landscape

investment through the value

it brings to a property.

Whatever the landscap-

ing project, the right tools will

make any task that much easi-

er. There are certain items

every homeowner should have

in his or her gardening arsenal.

Soil cultivator: A multi-

pronged tool that breaks up

clods of soil and grass to pro-vide easier planting.

Various garden hoes: Hoes

can be used for breaking up

soil, weeding, cultivating, aer-

ating, and many other purpos-

es.

Spading fork: Another tool

that loosens soil with straight

tines that dig through dense

soil.

Shovel: A multipurpose

shovel can dig through dirt,gravel and the like.

Rake: A steel-pronged rake

will till soil and spread out

mulch and other organic mat-

ter in planting beds. A flexible

rake is good for collecting

leaves and thatch.

Edger: Available as manual

or gas powered, an edger gives

planting beds and the edges of

lawns a clean look.

String trimmer: Weeds caneasily be trimmed with a

string trimmer that can work

around bushes and other hard-

to-reach areas.

Gloves: Avoid blisters and

insect bites with durable

gloves that protect the hands.

Lawn mower: To maintain a

healthy lawn it will have to be

trimmed to the correct height.

A manual or powered lawn

mower is the essential land-scapers tool.

Collection bags/bins: To

properly dispose of organic

matter like leaves and branch-

es, it pays to have recyclable

or reusable bags on hand for

transporting waste.

Hoses: Drip irrigation hoses

can deliver water right to

plants roots where they need

it most. A regular nozzle-pow-ered hose can be used for

cleaning and misting plants

and surrounding hardscapes.

Compost bin: Black gold is

the ideal landscaping supple-

ment. By creating compost

from discarded food, a home-

owner can generate the prime

fertilizer needed to keep

plants healthy.

Wheelbarrow: Transporting

gravel, rocks, mulch, shrub-bery, and many other garden

essentials is made easier with

the help of a wheelbarrow or a

garden cart.

Branch pruner: A durable

branch trimmer/pruner can

cut through thick or thin

branches and keep landscape

items tidy. Pruning also helps

promote growth of many flow-

ers and shrubs.Overhead pruner: Errant

branches in hard-to-reach

areas can be trimmed with an

overhead pruner with an

extendable arm.

Depending on specific

interests, homeowners can

stock up on trowels, bulb

planters, chain saws and other

items that will get jobs done

around the exterior of the

home.

division offers a vast selectionof trees and evergreens to help

residents build their land-

scapes. Theres even a full-

service floral department with

on-staff designers to assist

with bridal, corporate events

and special occasions. In an

effort to provide a full-service

experience, upon completion

of a landscape job, Gro-Rite

clients receive a floral

arrangement from the floral

department.

Ken Vande Vrede is pres-ident and son of founders

Dave and Gerda. Providing

the best-possible customer

experience is a key differentia-

tor at Gro-Rite, he said.

Customers repeatedly return

for the level of knowledge and

personal attention our staff

members provide.

What truly sets Gro-Rite

apart from other nurseries is a

commitment to innovationand new technology. Gro-Rite

has adopted state-of-the-art

hydroponic technology, which

allows large quantities of let-

tuces, herbs and vegetables to

grow in a clean, sustainable,

bacteria-free environment.

They utilize a natural growing

environment for pesticide-freeherbs and vegetables, and are

hoping to meet USDA organ-

ic standards soon.

Gro-Rites vision is pro-

viding customers with locally

grown, preservative-free foods

and using hydroponic tech-

nology will also allow them to

do that. Hydroponics is a soil-

less method of growing plants

that uses a combination of

mineral nutrient solutions andwater. Contrary to popular

belief, soil is not essential to

the growth of plants, but is

merely a holding area for

necessary mineral nutrients

that, when dissolved in water,

are absorbed by plant roots.

Through the use of less

water and space to produce

herbs and greens, hydroponic

farming is a 100 percent natu-

ral and sustainable growingmethod that dramatically

reduces our carbon footprint.

Through hydroponic

farming, Gro-Rite will be the

only greenhouse in 2013 that

provides year-round, pick-

your-own locally grown pro-

duce.

For nearly four decades,

the Vande Vrede family has

owned and operated Gro-Rite

Greenhouse and GardenCenter at 30 Hillview Road in

Lincoln Park. Gro-Rite is

opened 9am5pm Monday

through Saturday. For more

Whether shes stillhard at work rais-

ing children or her

kids have grown up and now

have children of their own,

Mom deserves our best efforts

come Mothers Day. And

while traditional gifts like

flowers and chocolate might

make for thoughtful Mothers

Day gifts, those who want to

go the extra mile for Mom this

year can consider the follow-ing unique gift ideas.

Concert tickets: Many

adults recall the days of their

youth when Mom would relax

while listening to some of her

favorite music on a lazy sum-

mer afternoon. Why not take

a stroll down Memory Lane

and take Mom to see one of

her favorite acts in concert?

Even if you have outgrown

Moms musical tastes, she willstill appreciate the chance to

spend an evening out on the

town with her kids and somegood music.

Theater tickets: If Mom

is a fan of live theater then

nothing will elicit a bigger

smile than tickets to a

Broadway show she has had

her eyes on. If Broadway is a

bit too far for you to travel, do

your homework and find a

traveling production of a for-

mer Broadway show. Such

productions often featuremany of the same actors who

made the play famous on

Broadway so youre still bound

to see an unforgettable show

Mom will love.

Parts unknown: Moms

who love to travel and experi-

ence other cultures would cer-

tainly appreciate a trip abroad

or a domestic getaway to a

region of the country they

have yet to explore. Beforebooking any such trips, speak

to your Mom and ask if theres

anywhere in particular shed

like to go. Such trips can be

expensive, so adults might

want to speak to their siblings

and finance such an excursion

together.Spa treatment: If Mom is

still as active as ever, then a

day of pampering at a nearby

spa is sure to please. Many

luxury spas offer packages,

especially around Mothers

Day, that make a full-on spa

treatment a more affordable

gift. Men and women can

even accompany Mom on her

trip and reap the rewards of

being such a thoughtful son ordaughter.

Fresh seafood, the finest quality meats, seasonal ingredients and a chefwho ensures every course is prepared to perfection. Thats our recipe for success.

work from home, even if its

only once per week, then takeadvantage of that offer. This

can provide more time with

your kids, it will likely save you

money on childcare, and you

are certain to appreciate the

opportunity to skip your daily

commute, even if it is only

once a week or a couple of

times per month.

Plan ahead. Looking

ahead is another way to make

juggling a family and a career

easier. Plan meals in advance to

cut down on preparation timewhen its your night to cook.

This can involve placing foods

in a slow cooker in the morning

or preparing part of the meal in

advance so its ready to go in

the oven the moment you

arrive home.

Another way to plan

ahead is to look at kids school

schedules and plan trips during

the school year when school

wont be in session. A three-

day weekend is a perfect oppor-

tunity to plan a getaway to anearby locale where the whole

family can relax and reconnect

without the pressures of daily

life.

Juggling a family and

career is not always easy, but

there are ways that todays

mothers can raise a happy fam-

ily and still have a successful

career.
