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.)  

Why Working Moms Need to Take Vacations

Many working moms work because they have to. Either they have to make ends meet. Or they need to maintain their lifestyles.  As a working mom, I know that working and balancing the checkbook can become all consuming.  We need to recognize that tendency and fight it.  

Family vacations are important.


Vacations are important.  Vacations give you the opportunity to re-connect with your family, do things that you don't normally do, and relax.
 I know that budgets are tight. Indeed, we currently have two mortgages and are in the middle of home renovations.  Some days it seems as if money is flying out of the window. That said, we will never get this time back.  So, it is important to pause and enjoy the families we hold so dear. We have yet to take a vacation this year, but we will get away if only for a few days because we understand that vacations pay for themselves in smiles.

Below is a video or a recent vacation we took to Virginia Beach.  Enjoy the video. I hope it inspires you to take a vacation of your own!

Virginia Beach is a great place to take a vacation
