    How Children Perceive Their Grandparents

    / No Comments

    Have you ever wondered about how your grandchildren perceive you, their grandparents? Perhaps just asking that question got your brain spinning about it. Have a look at the stories below and it may give you a better understanding or at least a good laugh. How Children Perceive Their Grandparents I was in the bathroom, putting on my makeup, under the watchful eyes of my young granddaughter, as I’d done many times before. After I applied my lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, “But Grandma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper goodbye!” I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper…

    A Valentine’s Day Fairytale About Adoption

    / 4 Comments

    A Valentine’s Day Fairytale – A Story About Adoption (My adoption) Once upon a time, a long long time ago (1966 to be exact) in a land far far away (Alamaba) lived Marilou and Dick. They had so much love to give and wanted to share that love with a child. As sometimes happens, things did not work out exactly as planned, so they decided to adopt a baby. They went to the Nuns at Catholic Charities to start the process. They explained to the Nuns that they were wanting a healthy, infant that was a boy and they were going to name him Brett… They went back home and waited…. and…

    The 25 Books Of Christmas

    / No Comments

    The 25 Books Of Christmas I am always looking for new, fun ideas for Christmas. This year, my daughter and grandson are in North Carolina so my mind has been working overtime to make this the best Christmas ever. My grandson, Brandon, is going to be 8 in December. He loves cars, trucks, and trains just like most little boys. Something else that he finds joy in books! He and I would get in our jammies after his bath, pop a bowl of popcorn and cuddle up under a blanket in the recliner with a good book. Sometimes I would have to read it more than once (ok, sometimes 3…

    Homemade Hand Sanitizer

    / 14 Comments

    We will show you how to make your own homemade hand sanitizer that works just as well as the store-bought types. With it being cold and flu season, many people add hand sanitizer to their shopping lists. Older adults, children and people with compromised immune systems are the ones that are at the greatest risk of not being able to fight off colds, and flu (if they became infected). The best thing we can all do is make sure to wash our hands often! Very Very Often! Sometimes washing our hands just isn’t an option though. So what do we do then? We use hand sanitizer!

    On Santa’s Team

    / 6 Comments

    On Santa’s Team is about a lesson taught by one Grandmother to her Grandson on the true meaning of Christmas and Santa Clause. My grandma taught me everything about Christmas. I was just a kid. I remember tearing across town on my bike to visit her on the day my big sister dropped the bomb: “There is no Santa Claus,” jeered my sister. “Even dummies know that!” My grandma was not the gushy kind, never had been. I fled to her that day because I knew she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told the truth, and I knew that the truth always went down a whole…

    The White Envelope

    / 34 Comments

    The White Envelope is a touching story about how a new family Christmas tradition began. In 2016 this post literally went viral and broke our website. The White Envelope is brilliant! I think we will be adopting this tradition. Christmas Story:For the Man Who Hated ChristmasBy Nancy W. Gavin It’s just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name, no identification, no inscription. It has peeked through the branches of our tree for the past ten years. It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas. Oh, not the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial aspects of it—overspending and the frantic running around…
