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 Working Mom Weekend: A trip to Galleria Mall (Part I)

Like most working moms I try to make the most of my weekends.  I try to make my kids realize that all mommies are engaged, whether they work outside the home or not.

The only problem with that is it puts a lot of pressure on me to make the weekends special.  As I plan, I sometimes forget that special to my kids may mean something different.

Today,  special to them meant sleeping in the car...


We were headed to Winter Picnic & Kids Expo at Galleria Mall. I made a wrong turn though. So it took a long time to get there.  By the time we arrived, both kids were asleep. So, "special" became me working on a book chapter and them sleeping in the back seat. I had to make the most of it!
