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.)

A Note to My Daughter on Her Seventh Birthday


Seven years ago you made me a mom and my world has been forever brighter.

Each year you have taught me more about myself and have made my burdens lighter.

This past year, you learned to perform a cartwheel, make salad, and get yourself ready for the day.

Your favorite things to do are to sing Decendants 2 songs, talk with your aunt JT and play.

 You continue to learn, grow, love, and improve how you read.

My hopes and expectations, you continue to exceed.

Your greatest joy is to cuddle and to get a long hug.

The purity of your emotions has taught me so much about how to love.

Every day my world is made better by your smile.

You have taught me to test my own limitations and go the extra mile.

Since the beginning, we have been on this journey together.

And in this coming year, I know that both of us will continue to get better.

Happy birthday, little girl!


You are going to conquer the world!!!
