"The way I make the best choices for my family is simply by using two things: my heart and my head. The job of 'Mom' is the hardest job in the world but is definitely the most rewarding. My highest priority is making my children feel loved and supported yet independent enough to make their own decisions."

"I want my family to stay healthy, be problem solvers, think of others more than themselves, be diligent in their work, and communicate effectively with others. Teaching my children to choose good friends, to engage in productive activities, and to eat healthy food is very important to me. One day when they are out on their own, I want my children to make good choices for themselves."
- Deanna, East Hartford, CT

"When making choices that have an effect on my family, it is helpful for me to always remember our values, our goals, our health, and our happiness. When I am clear about those things, then I feel whatever choice I make will be the best one. It is important for me to set an example of choosing well, because actions really do speak louder than words."
