When I found out that my husband and I were going to become grandparents, I was elated!
I squealed with delight.
I jumped for joy.
I turned cartwheels. (Well, at least figuratively.)
Because I loved my grandmothers, I couldn’t wait until I became one myself.
Shortly afterwards, I booted up my computer and searched for ideas on the Internet of fun things that a grandmother could do with her grandchildren. Know how much I found? Zip. Nada. Nothing.
What I did find were post after post of women agonizing over what they wanted their grandchildren to call them. — Mimi, Oma, Nanna.
And posts agonizing how they felt too young to be a grandmother.
Really?
I was FAR more concerned about what my grandchildren and I would do together!
Being a lover of technology, I decided that I would remedy the situation and create a website that had lots of ideas of activities that grandmothers and grandchildren could do together that would strengthen their relationship.
I’m grateful that you are here. On my site. Reading about me.
I hope that you, Dear Reader, will be able to find some ideas here that appeal to you. That the activities you find — and do with your grandchildren — will develop a strong, loving bond. That your relationship with your grandchildren will be deep, enriching, satisfying, and rewarding. (I don’t ask much, now do I?)
With warmest regards,
Nina
