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.

Working Mom Pick Me Up #MondayMotivation

On top of the world!

Even though we celebrate our working mom journeys, sometimes we need a little inspiration. We often need that inspiration on Monday mornings when we may be ambivalent about returning to our workweek routines after the weekend. 

The photo above gave me inspiration this morning. It was taken while my daughter and I were on top of the highest building between New York and Chicago on one "Take Your Child to Work Day". It reminds me that work is not an inconvenience.

Working Moms Need to Remember that Our Work Makes Our Families Better


Rather, it is something that provides for our bills, gives me the chance to use my skills and training, and also opens doors for my kids to have some awesome opportunities. In a word, I work where I do, doing what I do because my family is better for it, even with all of the sacrifices. Still, on Mondays, I often need a reminder and inspiration.

Below is a link to some quotes from some working moms about their journeys. It reminds me that we are all in this together! 

ENJOY!!!

Leave it to these badass working moms to keep it real
