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. (As an Amazon associate, I am compensated for qualifying purchases.)

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: Maternity Leave

on
My son is 8.5 weeks old. And I have been on maternity leave as many weeks. I have been spending my days cuddling with him and staring at him.



In my heart I'm a Stay-at-Home mom, but in my reality I'm a corporate attorney.  So, I appreciate the blessing of my maternity leave and I am reveling in it. Some may say that I should lean in to my maternity leave, but I prefer to recline and enjoy my son.

Often I feel guilty for not being more productive.  My house isn't cleaner (unless we're showing it to potential buyers.  A topic for another post). My hair isn't nicer and I don't always have dinner on the table. But I am in love and enjoying getting to know the new man in my life.

I know me. In order for me to be focused on work when I return I need to be focused on the baby now. Work will survive as will my husband.  After all I'll be back full time soon enough. And when I am they'll have my complete attention!
