my gradsons are getting so big and handsome 💕

2025/2/20 Edited to

As my grandsons grow, I’m reminded of the precious moments we share. Beautiful memories are created in everyday activities, from their sweet smiles to their playful antics. I love capturing their smiles and watching them turn into little gentlemen. In today's fast-paced world, it's vital to cherish family moments. Engaging in activities that promote joy and connection strengthens our bonds. Whether it’s a casual day at the park or special family gatherings, these all contribute to a loving atmosphere where children thrive and feel cherished. As these boys grow, I look forward to watching them develop their unique personalities and talents. It’s heartwarming to see them embrace life with curiosity and joy, and I feel grateful to be part of their journey. Being a grandparent is a treasure; it’s a role filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

how I balance school & life in grad school

Grad school is tough for many different reasons, but I would say one of the biggest challenges that most grad students face is finding a work life balance. For me I found it’s even worse than undergrad because there’s less scheduled activities and there’s just a lot more work to do with higher stak
