Counseling helps single mom become homeowner
Category: Lifestyle Written by Courier Newsroom
Five years ago, a young mother was struggling through a separation. Her work and family life suddenly revolved around legal custody disputes and support claims.
Like many others have before when such difficult court actions are finally resolved, Linda Peak found that bankruptcy was her only option to reach financial stability and keep her creditors at bay. She felt at that time, her finances were ruined beyond repair and owning a home would always be a dream.

Cuisine...Savor the flavors of the Mediterranean
Category: Lifestyle
Mediterranean cuisine, featuring abundant fruits and vegetables, and richly flavored with herbs and spices, is hailed by chefs, nutritionists and health-minded Americans as the “gold standard” of healthy eating. The Mediterranean lifestyle blends wholesome, naturally good-for-you foods with a liberal dose of exercise and eagerness to enjoy the pleasures of life with friends and family around the table.
Recently, the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid was updated to showcase the role of herbs and spices, placing them at the heart of every meal for the flavorful and health-promoting antioxidants they provide.

Powerless
Category: Lifestyle Written by Debbie Norrell
Forty-eight hours without power does something to you.
 |
Last weekend thousands in the surrounding areas suffered a power outage due to the snowstorm. When I went to bed on Friday night everything was fine. Early Saturday morning was a different story. I woke up early because I was so cold. A stop by the grocery store prepared me for the storm but I was not prepared for a weekend without power.
Now that I have an electric stove I wouldn’t be able to prepare any of the goodies I had purchased to get me through the weekend. No hot chocolate, no French bread pizza, no tomato soup and grilled cheese.
