A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: My Article on What to Expect Website

Like many of you, I believe that moms can change the world.  For that reason, when I first learned about the Ferguson tragedy, I wrote a piece that discussed what moms could do to change the world as we know it and make it a better, safer place for young Black men and to improve race relations in general.  A mommy friend of mine through Twitter, Heidi Murkoff, liked my piece and connected me with an editor who had me tweak it and published it on the What to Expect website, What Ferguson Can Teach Us About Parenting Our Kids.  I am honored that I was able to share my message with a larger audience and really hope that the piece makes a difference.  Also, because Heidi likes my writing I’ll be getting more opportunities to write for the site. I’m sharing this accomplishment with you because it supports another principle that I live by—your network is the key to your success. 

            I’ll be speaking at The Mom Con, which is occurring in Pittsburgh NOVEMBER 14-15, 2014.  My speaking topic is “Networking Your Way to Success”, specifically how to use your network to make One Million Dollars.  I hope to see you there!
