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

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: Taking a Break at The Family House Polo Match (#FHPolo15)

At the Family House Polo Match
Generally my weekends are full of children and chores. However, on Saturday I actually made time to party with a purpose. I attended the Family House Polo Match (that provides a safe haven for families who have loved ones in the hospital) with my generous and chivalrous brother and we had a great time!


Sibling Time Rocks!

My brother scored the tickets because he is on the board with a very well connected Pittsburgher who also happens to work for my employer! Pittsburgh is the ultimate small world.) Having attended the event before, I was all about going again. Since Andre was working on the house, I arranged for a babysitter and I accompanied my brother to the event. 

I wasn't ready when he arrived,but he forgave me. I couldn't find my boots in my renovation half unpacked chaos, and I forgave myself. I vowed not to allow wearing sandals on a rainy overcast day ruin my parade and it didn't! 

I just decided to rock them like a boss, ignoring the fact that most of the other girls were practically dressed in their Hunter wellies.I even got a compliment for being stylish followed up by an invitation to judge a fashion show. Not bad for a second choice outfit, is it?!

My brother and I managed to attend the event, network with some of Pittsburgh's play makers (translation, I handed out some blog cards. You should hear my elevator pitch!) and have some good cocktails. All in all, it was a great event and we had a great time!
