  • Kissing can reduce blood pressure by helping to dilate blood vessels
  • Because it dilates blood vessels, kissing can alleviate headache and menstrual cramps
  • You can burn a few calories ~ up to 16
  • It boosts your mood by releasing oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine, our body’s feel good chemicals
  • Some serious tongue action can help tone your facial muscles

Plus, it often leads to sex which has even more health benefits!

“Happiness is like a kiss. You must share it to enjoy it” ~Bernard Meltzer

Happy Mother’s Day! ?

“Children are the anchors of a mother’s life” ~Sophocles

My why. My Boys ?

My why. My Boys ?

How lucky am I to be their mommy?! I am in awe of how much God must love me to bring these two boys into my life. I am blessed beyond measure ? Jackson and Joey enrich my life everyday… the lessons motherhood has taught me are more valuable than any other.

The loves of my life ♡

The loves of my life ♡

 

I read somewhere that being a mother means that your heart is no longer yours; it wanders wherever your children do… so very true for me. 

 

May all of you loving, hardworking moms have a day filled with love, laughter & what we all REALLY want for Mother’s Day ~ rest, relaxation & harmony! NO cooking, cleaning, running around or fulfilling requests!!! 

“No language can express the power, and beauty, and heroism, and majesty of a mother’s love. It shrinks not where man cowers, and grows stronger where man faints, and over wastes of worldly fortunes sends the radiance of its quenchless fidelity like a star” ~Edwin Hubbell Chapin

5 Reasons Sex Is Fabulous For Your Health

The most pleasurable activity on earth is also a vital component to a healthy lifestyle

Sex Is Good For Your Heart Studies show that this incredibly fun way to raise our heart rate cuts risk of heart attack and stroke by 50% when we get busy at least twice a week. Sex also helps balance testosterone and estrogen levels. Low levels of these hormones lead to health issues including heart disease and osteoporosis

Sex Relieves Stress & Anxiety This is an obvious one, we’re all familiar with that euphoric feeling good sex leaves us with. It does more than just make us feel good, our circulatory, respiratory and nervous systems relax right after sex. Even hugging and touching release our body’s feel good hormones

Tangling The Sheets Lowers Blood Pressure Studies reveal that sexual intercourse lowers both diastolic and systolic blood pressure

Suffer From Back Pain, Headaches, PMS? Get Busy. Oxytocin levels spike just before orgasm is reached which releases pain relieving endorphins. That will put an end to that age old excuse, “not tonight honey, I have a headache”

Sexual Activity Boosts Your Immune System Knocking boots 1 – 2 times a week is shown to increase the antibody immunoglobin by 30%

I will miss his adorable face & gentle spirit

An old soul

An old soul

Our hearts are heavy this weekend. We said farewell to our sweet doggie, Luigi.  This was one very special little boy. An old soul with a gentle spirit.

Born to cuddle

Born to cuddle

 

His absence in our home is a strange and unwelcomed void. He was my constant companion for 17 1/2 years. We are very blessed to have had him in our lives for so long but incredibly sad that he is gone.

 

 

I am convinced that dogs have a special connection to God. They are innocent, loyal beings that love without condition.

His adorable face and loving way brought me joy every single day. We miss him so much. I take solace in knowing he is up in heaven playing with his brother & best buddy, Gino.

In Loving Memory Of My Wonderful Father

The last few weeks have been quite emotional. My witty, warm hearted, charismatic Dad passed away. I’ve always felt lucky to have such an open, loving and warm father. Generous in spirit with a passion for life he was a great man in that ‘greatest generation.’

2013-08-08 Dad 003

Jake Harper
March 10, 1923 – July 10, 2013

Psalm 42:7 says, “…the best response is a heart overflowing with gratitude,” this was my dad. He was truly grateful for the many blessings in his life. Even during the tough times he remained grateful, kept a positive outlook and persevered. As my brother said in his beautiful eulogy, my dad was genuine. I am blessed to be his daughter and miss him dearly. Losing a parent is a difficult rite of passage and now I’ve lost both of mine.

2013-08-08 Summer 2013 005My father was a true American hero who served in World War II, receiving 3 Bronze Stars and a special medal for D-day.  He was in the 121st Engineer Combat Battalion of the United States Army and battled in 3 major special series campaigns including D-Day where he was in the 2nd wave of American units to storm the beaches in Normandy. He married his high school sweetheart and love of his life 3 weeks after returning from duty.

Jake was a real man… loved baseball, horse racing & scotch! A true blue Dodger fan who watched every game he could. He was even a bat boy for the 1930s Yankee farm team where he met greats including Joe DiMaggio and Lou Gehrig. He was a fine baseball player himself and might have played professionally if he hadn’t enlisted.

He worked in the car business most of his life and owned his own business where he had a large celebrity clientele but his true passion was entertainment. He was a great song and dance man. His talent, humor and great looks won him roles in plays, musicals and commercials. His resemblance to Jack Lemmon was uncanny and he had fun with it (so did we!) People didn’t just think he looked like Jack Lemmon, they often thought he was Jack Lemmon!

1148891_10151655865519209_1587187097_nMy parents had me later in life, they had three teenagers, and then had to do it all over again with me. They called me their ‘little surprise,’ as I got older I realized what that meant! They never made me feel as though I was an accident or that they had to make sacrifices to raise me. In fact, they told me that having a baby at that point brought the family closer together. He sure loved his family and we all felt that love.

 

Forever the optimist, my dad’s love for life was infectious. He was a master story teller and his great sense of humor stayed with him until the end. The outpouring of the fondness and affection for him from friends and family has been touching. He put people at ease, made them laugh and brought smiles to their faces, as did the clever nicknames he gave. I truly enjoyed his company, his presence was dynamic. He was fun and young for his years, he drew people in with his likable character. Kind and generous with, as my niece, Janessa, says, “… a whole lot of class and swag!”

I will greatly miss his quick wit, eager smile and loving way

♥♥♥

In Loving Memory

Jacob Clifford Harper

March 10, 1923 – July 10, 2013

God saw you getting weary.

He did what He thought best.

He put his arms around you

and said, Come and rest.

He opened up His golden gates

on that heartbreaking day,

and with His arms around you,

you gently slipped,away.

It broke our hearts to lose you.

You did not go alone.

A part of us went with you,

the day God called you home.

Happy Birthday My Wonderful Boy

20130612_201806 - Copy

Happy 11th Birthday Joey!

Motherhood has changed my life in fantastic and magical ways and has taught me more than I could imagine. It all started the day this sweet boy came into the world.

I am in awe of what a remarkable young man Joey is… kind, fun, funny, extremely thoughtful and easy to be around. He is also generous of spirit and very much in love with life and that love is contagious. He is a fine athlete and very bright straight A student! Since it’s his birthday I can gush a little, right?!

Joey exudes a positive energy that breathes life into the world and has a happy affect on those around him. I hear time and again from others what a kind, polite and engaging boy he is.

♥ I am truly proud & blessed to be his mom ♥

2010-04-25 2011-08-12 001 004He owned his own business while I was growing up but he’s always been a song and dance man!
