A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

on
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.)

Wordless Wednesday: Why I Work

on
Child on the Pittsburgh North Shore
Yesterday on my Facebook Page I was seeking motivation. I had been thinking about the challenges that people, in particular working moms, have during the workweek. So, I decided to probe my Facebook friends about how they made it through the week. I will share their responses with you because I think you'll find them worthwhile. Of course their responses stimulated my mind as well. I've been working for most of my life and have been a full time working mom for the duration.

I have not paused. I have not fainted. And I have not given up. 

So, I asked myself the question. One thing I realize is that my Wordless Wednesday post is not just a way to fill up space on my blog. The photos are a reminder about why I work. I primarily work to provide for my family and to make them smile. Since we celebrated my son's third birthday last week, I decided to feature him in this post. Even with the challenges, I am grateful to be a working mom every day. And these photos encourage me when I need a reminder of that!
