We all need a some humor in our lives…it helps to keep us feeling younger…why not some grandparent humor?  My gift to you is a clip of Bill Crosby sharing stories about his parents. There are some things about parents that just don’t change over the generations, LOL!  Enjoy…

Grandparents, have you recently become a new grandparent? How exciting! Here is an idea I wish I had thought of when my grandchildren were born, but I may just do it for them on their next birthdays. When your new grandchild is born, write a letter expressing your joy, love, and hopes for your new grandchild. You can also include some family history and photos of ancestors. Don’t forget to label those photos! I have many old family photos without names. I’d love to know who they are. My grandparents passed away when …

How Do You Get From Here to There?
How do you get from here to there?
Well, you first must believe you can
Let no one tell you differently~
It’s your life and it’s in your hands.
Then turn your dreams into your goals
And see what you need now
To satisfy the requirements:
The why, the where and how.
At first you’re overwhelmed, of course;
There’s so much for you to know.
But keep your faith, be strong and sure,
For you do have a way to go.
Take careful steps and do them right,
Take pride in each thing done.
Don’t look too …

We celebrate our GrandMothers on Mother’s Day in May and GrandFathers on Father’s Day in June. Words alone cannot express our love and respect for our grandparents. We should also express our feelings through the way we treat those we love, often – not just a few times a year. Set an example for your children and grandchildren ~ give something of yourself by helping your loved one, an elder neighbor, or friend with chores, shopping, or paperwork on a schedule they can count on. And, when you have time, take them out for …

Grandparents, remember reading those everlasting classic poems and tales to your children? Now you can enjoy them again! Grandparents and grandchildren reading together during quiet time helps create a closer bond, especially when they are shared favorite poems and stories. The children’s classic poems that I have chosen to share with grandparents and their grandchildren here at Nana’s Corner are ones that have been popular with young children through their span of over 150 years. They are fun and easy for children to visualize as they are read. We’ve read them to our children, …

I’ve been searching for more gifts for grandchildren to make for grandmother, grandma, nana, gammy, gamma, mema…or anyone thought of as “grandmother.”  A gift made with love and kisses from grandchildren is the best present for a grandmother. The following homemade gifts are ones that I, personally, would love to receive (hint, hint): Decorated Keepsake Box filled with Homemade Truffles and a Matching Flower Pot filled with a Flowering Plant.

Grandchildren grow so fast, where does the time go? Grandchildren start out so helpless, so dependent on those who love them…grandparents more so than ever before. There’s nothing in this world that compares to being a grandparent…no words can express the emotions that grow from the first moment grandparents learn that a grandchild will soon be part of their loving family. The following poems express some of those feelings and remind us just how fast our grandchildren do grow before our very eyes.
Print Fingerprints and place your grandchild’s handprint on the paper, then frame …
