Triangle Family Featured on TLC’s Home Made Simple

A local mother living with multiple sclerosis will be featured in an upcoming nationally-broadcasted episode of Home Made Simple. The popular TLC program gives simple and easy solutions to everyday domestic challenges. In addition to juggling the schedule of three busy boys, Jennifer Froning of Fuquay-Varina manages a variety of MS symptoms on a daily basis. During the episode, set to air November 7 at noon, the Froning family gets organized and helps raise awareness about multiple sclerosis.

Froning applied for the show to make her home less cluttered and more inviting. “Just as I hope my spirit reveals warmth, I want my home to reflect warmth,” she said. “I try to create a space that makes my friends and family feel welcome and special.” Froning lives with her husband and three sons.

The TLC crew came to Fuquay-Varina to help Froning reorganize her laundry room, simplify her kitchen and find space for everything from sports equipment to school supplies. The crew was especially eager to help someone who faces organizational challenges as a result of multiple sclerosis.

“Being on the program was truly an unforgettable experience,” said Froning, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis shortly after her youngest son was born. “For those unfamiliar with MS, I hope I was able to shed some light on the disease and the effects it has on so many. I hope I can offer a message of hope. There is still life to live and joy to be had.”

Froning plays an active role in the Eastern North Carolina Chapter of the National MS Society by participating in local events. In 2009, she raised over $2,000 for Bike MS and has set a goal of $10,000 for Walk MS.
