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 Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: Katy Perry Inspires Me and My Toddler

Truthfully, I have weakness for pop music.  As my brother says if it's a song that's popular on the radio, I like it.  That's probably why I buy the "NOW This is Music CDs".  NOW This is Music 48 include Katy Perry's "Roar" as the Number One song.  That decision changed my life, literally.

One day, I was in the car with my kids and played the CD. My kids are 3 and 4 months.  So, it can be challenging to find something we all enjoy.  To be fair, the baby is fairly easy to please.  But the toddler is a different story! Roar gave us something to enjoy together.  She calls it "Oh, Oh, Oh"! 

While I was on maternity leave I was able to take my daughter to camp and pick her up. I enjoyed this immensely and we started a new routine.  We would sing "our song", "Roar" on the way there and on the way home. I wish I had the camera that seems to follow the Kardashians everywhere so that you could fully appreciate the experience. However, since I don't, I simply encourage you to imagine those in the photo below belting out these lyrics,

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You’re gonna hear me roar
