Best of Baby Boomer Blogs: Memorial Day Weekend Reflections

by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 3 Comments

Memorial Day

It’s Memorial Day Weekend 2025, and a time to remember all who were lost in wars and conflicts past and present in the United States. It’s also a weekend of picnics, family time, and entertainment.

It has noise suppression so whenever you feel the urge, you can SCREAM … [Read more...]

Your Birthday is a Major Holiday so Celebrate it! 

by Tamar Hurwitz-Fleming Leave a Comment

Have a Happy Birthday

Birthdays are supposed to be happy yet often aren’t – especially for aging women. In our youth-obsessed culture, aging has become a four-letter word, and many women over 50 feel there is nothing to celebrate as they turn a year older. So, they self-sabotage their birthday joy, turn it into the birthday blues, and shrug it off saying “It’s just another day.” Does that sound … [Read more...]
