Little Moments. Big Smiles.
My boys have loved Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish® crackers ever since they could wrap their chubby little hands around them.
And even now, we still keep a bag on hand for long waits at our after-school appointments, or just as a snack while playing our favorite board games or watching TV. For us, Goldfish crackers have been sort of a constant.
And through the years, I’ve shared them in creative ways to keep the boys entertained. Looking back, those everyday moments are now the ones I most treasure.
Once buried beneath the busyness of young motherhood and preschool playtime, the little moments of shared laughs and big smiles now shine brighter.
And now, as my boys approach their teens, those little moments have become far greater connections to strengthen our relationships through the memories we’ve shared. It’s amazing how the simplest of occasions create the most memorable moments.
Just as we enjoy a handful of Goldfish crackers to share a few laughs or create playful memories, it’s within the simple everyday experiences we connect with our children. And one by one, as we make those connections, we each learn and grow to become better people to make connections with everyone else.
Share the Love

christina paris says
Oh My Goodness!! My son has also eaten goldfish crackers ever since he could wrap his adorable fingers around the biggest handful that he could muster, which of course was only 3 or 4! 🙂 he would try so hard to get all of them to his sweet & tiny mouth, dropping all but one to reach his tongue. he would say…mmmmm..mmmmmmmm each time, and as he grew, he’d say “mo shishies pwease, mama…. in the car, in the cart at the store, dr. appointments etc….baggie here, baggie there… all the way to today!! he will be 13 in two weeks and still says..hey mom, don’t forget to get the goldfish please before my trip to the store ! 🙂 we have a baggie of goldfish waiting for him after track practice, percussion, and it is always his first choice for after school snack. 🙂 needless to say, we buy fishies on a weekly basis in the family size carton of 30 oz.! 🙂 they’ve been a constant in our family and i also love the sweet,sweet memories!!
