A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

on
As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow.

More Sleep for Mommy!

on
A mommy friend on Facebook recently asked, “Is anyone else tired of being tired?” A lot of people agreed with her.  I think that her comment resonated with so many people because mothers struggle to find time of their own.

Granted, she has two children and her demands are more onerous than mine. Still, I understood her sentiment. This week I am committed to getting more rest. If you read my posts last week you know that I have been sleep deprived for the entire time I have been a mom (over 17 months).  This week though, I am committed to getting more.
I’m not going to set unattainable goals that leave me feeling like a failure when they are unachieved.  Instead, I have achievable goals. I’ve been averaging 6 hours a night most weeks. This week I am committed to averaging 6 hours and 20 minutes.  That might seem lame to you, but it seems like heaven to me. 

Off to sleep now. Sweet dreams!!!
