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.)

A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Control Your Own Destiny

on



Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world.

We recently experienced the summer solstice and the official beginning of summer, I am reflecting on how I spent my Spring. And, it was magical! If I had a theme for Spring it was, “Just Say Yes”!  I have to tell you, I am so glad that I did. My Spring was — full of new opportunities, events, and activities that bring me joy. As someone who is going through a contentious divorce, I am grateful to be able to participate in things that inspire me, remind me of who I am and bring me joy. And as a mom, I am so very grateful that I am able to love my children in the midst of the conflict and to give them the gift of great memories. 

This Spring I was reminded that our hardships do not have to define us if we have the courage to combat the negativity with positivity. 

So, here’s to a great summer!
