Welcome to LifeLaurels

Bringing you the Best of Life: Pop Culture, Things We Like, Frugal Finds, Random Musings, Product Reviews, Movies and TV, and Words to Live By.

Welcome to our site! LifeLaurels is a lifestyle blog that aims to bring you the BEST of Life. We share all sorts of good finds, in the area of entertainment, pop culture, and living your best life. We'll write about stuff we watch, stuff we buy, stuff we covet, and stuff we enjoy. If it deserves Laurels, we'll talk about it here.

A laurel is a type of evergreen plant that was traditionally used to weave wreaths and crowns that were symbols of victory in Ancient Greece. Today, laurel is synonymous with achievement, and is used to denote honor or distinction. It is also the first name of this site's founder. Thus, instead of using stars, we rate in terms of laurels, with 5 laurels indicating something is fantastic, and one laurel meaning we did not like it so much.

We also have a Facebook Page where we share a LOT of motivating words and fun memes. And because everyone loves winning, we'll share links to contests and sweepstakes, where you can win fun prizes.

To find individual posts, please search the sidebar. Searching by "tags" can help you find what you seek. We also have various types of content sorted and linked on pages within this site. Use the nav bars to reach these pages.

I still like to use Screen Savers on my PCs. For years, I have used "the clock" Screen Saver on my own PC. But I decided I wanted something a little more inspirational.  So I created a few screen savers from LifeLaurels' series of Inspirational Quotes. 

We have 4 different Screen Savers available for download. Each comes in a zip file, containing the screen saver file (a .scr file,) as well as a PDF with instructions on how to install it.

Happy Fathers Day

 Happy Father's Day

To All Fathers, Grandfathers, Daughters, and Sons




Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all Fathers, Daughters, and Sons, as well as folks who have been there like a father should, for children who are not technically his own!

This will be my first Father's Day without a father to honor. So what follows is a tribute to my Dad, a man who I miss every day. I hope you enjoy reading about a man who touched many during his esteemed life.

My Father was a very special man.  When I was a little girl, my Daddy was my world. As I got older, we drifted apart. As a teenager, we were more distant, and I was sure he didn't understand me one bit. As an older teen, I thought he was stupid and out of touch. As a young adult, he seemed to be gradually getting smarter again. As an older adult, our relationship started to change. He became my dinner companion and my Drinking Buddy. He was my financial advisor and consultant when it came to things like investing and Real Estate. And our mutual respect grew with every passing year.

By the time I was 50, my Father had become one of my Best Friends. I was back to seeing him several times a week. As he aged, our relationship started shifting. He began to depend on me like I had depended on him when I was younger.
