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 Bit of Trivia: Today is National Lemonade Day!

Today is "National Lemonade Day"! The tag line for National Lemonade Day is “Empowering Today’s Youth to Become Tomorrow’s Entrepreneurs.” So, the Day has more to do with entrepreneurship and empowerment than it does about perfecting the art of making lemonade. Still, as anyone who has studied marketing understands, “product” is one of the foundational principles. In this context it means that without tasty lemonade, a lemonade stand isn’t going to do too well.

(I’m ignoring the “cute factor” principle that says a cute kid can sell almost anything.)
