Ive been thinking a lot

about 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 simultaneously led to a

romance. She accepted my

proposal of marriage 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 children enter the pic-

ture, she usually stays home

and he usually goes to work, so

they are still separated those

eight hours, plus commutingtime and overtime. 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 sporting

activities challenge that time

as well, leaving them apart for

the majority of the Saturdays

and Sundays, for nearly two

decades. If one of them bowls,plays golf religiously or

engages in a club activity, that

is even more time they spend

apart. Some married couples

spend time apart with friends

acquired during high school 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 dif-

ferent.

You see, Terry and I have

been doing everything togeth-

er 24 hours a day for 29 years

now. Ever since we met, wevebasically 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 com-

pany morphed into the first

and foremost franchise in theretirement and estate plan-

ning industry, American

Prosperity Group, which now

spans 10 states with 18 offices.

During the same time

and I give Terry all of the

credit we grew our family

size from a hard working

dynamic couple to a bustling

family of six! Terry brought

Anew study in the

medical journal

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 recentlybegun 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 aftertwo 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.

graduate of The University of

Pennsylvania and has been

Receiving the Sacra-

ment of the Eucharist is

a momentous event in

a young Christians life, mark-

ing one of the first steps he or

she takes in individual faith

formation. Children who

receive the Eucharist are fur-

ther initiated into the church

and this enables them to

receive Communion at each

and every mass thereafter, pro-

vided 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 wedding or

Sweet 16 party, inviting friends

and extended family members.

Others prefer to keep the cele-

bration a bit more intimate.

Regardless of the size of the

party, there are some tips to

make it a memorable affair

thats fun for everyone.

Dont start planning until

you confirm the date of the cer-

emony. Some churches have

one date on which they hold

administer to all candidates at a

special mass. Others may stag-

ger the ceremonies over the

course of several dates and may

intertwine 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 appropriate

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 reser-

vation.

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 supermarkets are

all viable catering options

depending on the scale of the

party. To keep costs down, buy

frozen, premade 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 atten-

dance, it may pay to hire an

entertainer like a magician,

balloon artist or deejay to keep

everyone entertained and

occupied. Again, since many

Communion ceremonies take

place in the spring when wed-

ding receptions 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 attendance.

A young person receivingthe 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

garnered its share of

devoted 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 view-

ers of reality television, while

30 percent tend to watch spo-

radically. Some may wonder

how reality TV affects the per-

ceptions of young women.

According to a survey con-

ducted 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 high-

lighted the plights of

teenagers and young women,

helping young women realize

there are other young women

in situations similar to their

own.

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 owners

are oblivious to wrongdoings

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. En-

courage your employees to

come forth about suspicious

activities, but keep matters

confidential. When its war-

ranted, respond promptly

Five steps to ward off business fraud By Robert Sokoloff, CPA



11/28

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 obliga-

tions of a successful 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 the

conventions 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 a

schedule 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

Tips for women juggling a family and a career



12/28

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-associat-

ed sarcoma at a rate of 20 per

100,000 cats. A veterinary task

force, the American Veterinary

Medical Foundation,

has been assigned to this

problem and makes the

following statement on

its website: Disturbing

as this issue may be,

there is great concern

that cat owners, 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 injec-

tions were placed and then

keep an eye on those sites. If

you notice a firm, painless

swelling located near a previ-

ous vaccination site, contacts

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 veterinar-

ian and following the suggest-

ed vaccination protocol.

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 sharing

and 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 to

suffer from depression, anxiety

and cardiovascular disease. But

the American Psychological

Association notes the positive

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 alleviate the stress of 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

with your

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

d e v e l o p -

ments at

their school.

Such involve-

ment can be

minimal, such as

attending a monthly

luncheon with kids or agreeing

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 pro-

duces 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 little

as one month, while some

species last through several

months.

With spring in full

swing, its time to begin

thinking about annual

planting. Take advantage

of this time to grow an

edible garden! A large

variety of food plants are

either annual plants or

grown in

season, including virtually all

domesticated grains. Corn,

wheat, rice, lettuce, peas,

watermelon and beans are all

examples of annual food

plants.

Additionally, the

vast majority of flow-

ers are also consid-

ered annual. They

are incredibly versa-

tile 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 beautiful annu-

al 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 gar-

den functional and your

yard beautiful. Experts are

always available to provide

advice. Visit them at 30

Hillview Road in Lincoln

Park. For more information,

Spring has sprung for most

areas of the country and

the average homeowners

to-do list likely has its share

of outdoor landscaping tasks

that need to be tackled. The

right tools can make easier

work of outdoor chores.

A report from the

Associated Landscape Con-

tractors of America titled

Economic Benefits of

Landscape 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 landscap-

ing a viable investment. A

March 2003 article in Smart

Money noted that homeowners

can expect to earn back 150

percent or more of their land-

scape 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, aerating,

and many other purposes.

Spading fork: Another tool

that loosens soil with straight

tines that dig through dense

soil.

Shovel: A multipurpose shov-

el 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 can

easily 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 trans-

porting waste.

Hoses: Drip irrigation hoses

can deliver water right to

plants roots where they need it

most. A regular nozzle-powered

hose can be used for cleaning

and misting plants and sur-

rounding hardscapes.

Compost bin: Black gold is

the ideal landscaping supple-

ment. By creating compost

from discarded food, a home-

ornamental fountains and

pond supplies. Gro-Rites

landscaping division offers a

vast selection of trees and

evergreens to help residents

build their landscapes.

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

president and son of founders

Dave and Gerda. Providing

the best-possible customer

experience is a key differen-

tiator 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 nurs-

eries is a commitment to

innovation and new technol-

ogy. Gro-Rite has adopted

state-of-the-art hydroponic

technology, which allows

large quantities of lettuces,

herbs and vegetables to grow

in a clean, sustainable, bacte-

ria-free environment. They

utilize a natural growing

environment for pesticide-

free herbs and vegetables,

and are hoping to meet

USDA organic standards

soon.

Gro-Rites vision is pro-

viding customers with locally

grown, preservative-free

foods and using hydroponic

technology will also allow

them to do that. Hydropo-

nics is a soil-less method of

growing plants that uses a

combination of mineral

nutrient solutions and water.

Contrary to popular belief,

soil is not essential to the

growth of plants, but is mere-

ly a holding area for neces-

sary 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 nat-

ural and sustainable growing

method 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 Garden

Center at 30 Hillview Road

in Lincoln Park. Gro-Rite is

opened 9am5pm Monday

through Saturday. For more

ite.com or call 973-694-

Whether shes still

hard 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 following 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 summer

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 will still

appreciate the chance to spend

an evening out on the town

with her kids and some

good music.

Theater tickets: If

Mom is a fan of live the-

ater 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 travel-

ing production of a former

Broadway show. Such produc-

tions often feature many of the

same actors who made the play

famous on Broadway so youre

still bound to see an unforget-

table 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. Before booking

any such trips, speak to your

Mom and ask if theres any-

where in particular shed like to

go. Such trips can be expen-

sive, 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 or daughter.

Unique gift ideas for Mothers Day

Breakfast in bed is one of

the staples of Mothers

Day celebrations.

Pancakes are an ideal break-

fast to serve Mom. Easily cre-

ated, pancakes can be made

with just a few ingredients

that are usually kitchen sta-

ples. Young children should be

supervised if helping with the

preparation of breakfast.

Easy Pancakes

112 cups all-purpose flour

312 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon white sugar

114 cups milk

1 egg

3 tablespoons butter, melted

Strawberries and powdered

sugar, for garnish

1. Sift dry ingredients togeth-

er then add the wet

ingredients. Mix un-

til just incorporated

and let stand 5 min-

utes.

2. Prepare a griddle or

flat skillet by heating

over medium-high

heat and greasing

with butter or non-

stick cooking spray.

3. Spoon about 1/4

cup of batter onto

griddle for each pan-

cake. Wait until bub-

bles form in the cen-

ter and then flip. Let cook on

other side until golden

brown, then remove.

4. Repeat until pancake bat-

ter is done.

5. Cut a small cleft into the

top of sliced strawberries to

make them look like hearts

and garnish the plate with

powdered sugar.

owner can generate the prime

fertilizer needed to keep plants

healthy.

Wheelbarrow: Transporting

gravel, rocks, mulch, shrubbery,and many other garden essen-

tials is made easier with the

help of a wheelbarrow or a gar-

den 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 flowers 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.

Question: Why doesone need life insur-ance and when is

best to invest in it?

Answer: Life insurance is a

vehicle that will aid in ensur-

ing that loved ones left behind

in the event of an untimely

death are able to continue

their financial lives and alsotakes care of final expenses for

the dearly departed.

Of all the insurance

products that are offered by

the multitude of insurance

companies in this country, life

insurance is the only product

that is not speculative. Auto,

homeowners, motorcycle,

business, flood and some other

types of insurance are all in

place just in case something

happens. Life insurance is the

only one that has a guarantee,

as there is one guarantee from

the day we are born. A whole

life policy is assurance that

expenses and loved ones willbe left financially whole.

As there are also term

policies that offer more afford-

able premiums, these policies

can be converted to whole life

at a later date, prior to policy

expiration, in case it appears

the owner will out-live a term.

It can be converted without

new medical exams or under-

writing. The whole policy

would simply be rated at the

current rate at the time of

conversion.

The best time to invest

in a whole life policy is in your

younger years, simply due to

the minimal risk youthfulnesspresents. Term policies are

best for those who arent yet

able to afford whole life pre-

miums, new homeowners for

the term of the mortgage, and

other debt that may have a

10-year range to be paid off,

like wedding expenses.

legacy you build is but a con-tact point away. Reach out to

and decisively. You will also

discourage fraud by showingthat 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 theircompletion.

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

implement and update

internal controls.

Of course, there are no

guarantees, but these fiveproactive steps should, at

the very least, minimize

risks to your company.

to be a chaperone on one or

two class trips per year. Suchevents are typically scheduled

months in advance, so you

should have ample time to

arrange a break from the office

without neglecting your profes-

sional responsibilities.

Take advantage of work-

from-home policies. As tech-

nology has advanced, many

companies have become

much more lenient with

regard to employees working

from home. If your companyallows you to work from

home, even if its only once

per week, then take advantage

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. Lookingahead is another way to make

juggling a family and a career

easier. Plan meals in advance

to cut down on preparation

time when its your night to

cook. This can involve plac-

ing 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 schoolschedules and plan trips dur-

ing the school year when

school wont be in session. A

three-day weekend is a perfect

opportunity to plan a getaway

to a nearby locale where the

whole family can relax and

reconnect without the pres-

sures of daily life.

Juggling a family and

career is not always easy, but

there are ways that todays

mothers can raise a happy

family and still have a success-

ful career.

Chelsie, our first child, to the

office every day; when shebecame mobile; we expanded

our office to include a nursery

for her and her new brother,

Zachary, nearly four years

later. When Zac grew a little

lonely, Jack Benny was born

in 1998 and we added an addi-

tion to our newly acquired

home so I could bring the

office into the house to con-

tinue working with my wifeand life partner every day. Two

years later, Jack wanted a little

brother to play with, and

Sammy showed up to be his

little buddy!

Terry and I continued to

work together every day, help-

ing the community with their

retirement and estate-plan-

ning needs. We are proud that

we have been able to build ourfamily and family business

simultaneously over these past

29 years. I did the marriage

calculation 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 cou-ples 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 remarkable woman

in the world for 116 years! She

has let me pursue my goals,

dreams and ambitions, and

not only stood by my side with

constant and never-endingsupport, but was an active par-

ticipant in all of them with

great expense to her individ-

ual goals and dreams, as well. I

am convinced that the great-

est force in business is a hus-

band 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 crashesin the nations history and the

worst real estate market

decline. Though President

Obama recently stated that

we didnt build our businesses

ourselves, I beg to differ! Not

only did we build it ourselves,

but we built it with American

values, American pride and

American ingenuity.

Im not afraid to say I

love my wife and I would behere neither financially nor

physically if she were not by

my side every day especial-

ly when I underwent heart-

bypass surgery and suffered 10

strokes and other complica-

tions, resulting in a 43-day

hospital stay.

Yes, there was a two-

week period of time when we

were not together every day. I

contracted an infection dur-ing my hospital stay and she,

being by my side for 19 days

straight, caught the same

infection, resulting in hospi-

talization for the next 14 days

in a separate hospital. Our

daughter had to be the advo-

cate for two parents in two dif-

ferent hospitals at the same

time, while in grad-school and

working two part-time jobs.

She also had to be the surro-gate 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 250years of marriage and growing

planning firm across the

nation. Through our fran-

chisee network, we can reach

sage of responsible retirement
