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.)

Working mom, you deserve to enjoy your lunch!

Working mom's lunch

  • Being a working mom is hard work. So, we have to find daily treats wherever we can...

As moms, we are constantly trying to make sure that we meet the needs of others. And nothing punctuates that point more than meals.
Indeed trying to strike the right balance of healthy meals that are also enjoyed by young children and a husband can be exhausting. My children's taste run from the expensive and exotic--my daughter is all like, "Mommy why can't we have lobster everyday."--to the inexpensive and ordinary--my son is all like, "Mommy is macaroni and cheese its own food group and can I have it for breakfast lunch and dinner? No? Well how about hot dogs?

Lunchtime is a daily retreat for working moms.


One of the positive things about returning to work is that I get to eat what I want, when I want, for lunch. I don't have to collaborate, poll others, or even attempt to gain consensus. And although unhealthy, I could even have candy as a main meal without having to justify it to anyone. Sometimes, I even enjoy lunch with other grown ups and discuss sex, religion and politics. I am rogue like that. In a word, during lunch, I am unequivocally my own woman!!!
