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. (As an Amazon associate, I am compensated for qualifying purchases.)  

Loving Your Newborn Baby...

Never fear blog readers. I am writing Part II of "The Tales of Natural Childbirth". However, it is hard to find the time .

Babies can be Messy, Stinky and Time Consuming


My days are filled with diaper changes—the dirty, the messy, and the stinky. I also do a lot of breast feeding—the necessary, the wonderful, and the demanding. Then there’s the breast pumping.  It is tortuous, inconvenient, and time consuming. 
While less fun than the fist pumping done by "The Situation" and "Snooki" on the Jersey Shore, I often feel about as silly as they look when I do that particular deed.  In my spare time I wash clothes, cook and clean. I sleep when I can. On top of all of that I work outside of the home.  Then, every day, I wake up to do the same things again. Not to whine but, I could really use a clone.

I wonder if I’d already be done writing that natural childirth piece if I stopped the whining??? NAH!!!

Tell me about it! I have all these fabulous posts brewing and for some reason I whine about posting them more than actually writing!!!

Make the time now, because it does not get any easier as they get older!!!
