Why This Blog

I’ve been a grandmother since 1998. It’s been a wonderful experience and it has given me an opportunity to use my imagination to create what I like to think of as magical experiences for my grandchildren. One of my friends, an elementary school counselor, told me that when the kids talk about their grandparents, it’s always about what they DO with their grandparents, not about things their grandparents buy for them. So this blog is meant to share some of the things I have come up with that they seem to enjoy, whether it be homemade toys, things we do together, costumes, or other creative ideas. And you don’t have to be a grandparent---some of the things I made were done years ago for my son, nieces and other children. Enjoy!
