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 Mommy Blogger: Speaking at Parents Palooza


This past weekend I spoke at Parents Palooza in Atlanta, Georgia, an extravaganza for parents and children. Being in Atlanta was a great treat. I was able to spend time with my sister who is a fantastic friend and a wonderful aunt to my daughter. She’s also a marketing genius who helped whip my Power Point into shape!
The title of my presentation was “How to Live Your Dream Life While Waiting for Your Dream Job”. My goal was to inspire the participants and change lives. So many speakers encourage people to achieve their dreams, but few tell them what to do in the meantime.  I answered that question. “Work to achieve your dreams, but commit to being happy now.”
I was pleased that my speeches were well received. You can find videos of the speeches on this site and on YouTube soon. In the meantime, enjoy these photos from Parents Palooza.
