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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: Dating the new parent way!

on
Andre and I had the best date today.  It started in the morning and we picked it back up in the afternoon.

He followed me to the car dealer this morning so that I can get my trunk fixed before our vacation.  I guess it got overused because I had a little too much junk back there. (Yes, the double entendre was intentional! :-)) We dropped my car off and he took me to work. As luck would have it, we lost power in our building and we got to go home early.  Since I was carless, Andre had to come get me.  He took me to his office where I  acted as his secretary for a bit.  Then, we went to the grocery store to shop for the dinner we're preparing for his aunt who's in town.  We had a long wait in traffic and were able to chat in a way that we hadn't in a while.

When we got home, I felt refreshed and renewed.  I love the baby, but it was good for us to be how we used to be for a little while.  I know this sounds lame, but I think that I now love car trouble! :-) (Note to the universe, don't take it literally!!!)

I am a huge fan of one-on-one grown up time! It doesn't happen too often for hubby and I, but when it does I always feel refreshed too. :) Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! Following you on GFC and Twitter. Have a great day!

As parents we take what we can get!! Sometimes just doing stuff together without the kids is relaxing. ;)
