Children and DivorceWritten by Karen Zastudil
Continued from page 1
As you begin uncovering new you, it's not wrong to make time for yourself, but when it seems appropriate, include your children. You are a mom first, and you would not want to sacrifice needs of your children. Maintain moments of "single" freeness to time with your friends and not in front of your children. As you begin dating again, feeling silly, giddy and young, do it in a way that doesn't affect them. Introducing a lot of casual dates into your children's lives can cause anxiety and confusion. Reassure them that your date is not a replacement for "dad" or them. You would not want your children to feel they are being abandoned. Your children still need to know that you are parent and that they can depend on you to provide love and emotional stability they need.

| | Using Silk Flowers - Should I?Written by Ginger Ruoff
Continued from page 1
Finally, in terms of wedding budget, a silk flower wedding can be more economical than fresh cut flowers. The flowers you like are always "in season." Prices are not bumped by seasonal changes. Also, because you will be able to order at a time that you wish to, you can pay for flower expense months ahead of other expenses that will necessarily come right before wedding. Whatever choices you make about your wedding flowers - silk flower or fresh cut - a good wedding flower designer will help you create beauty in your wedding bouquet.
