I was raised by my great-grandmother until I was 8 and feel that it was such a huge blessing! I miss her terribly, she passed away a few days after I turned 18.

My daughter - 7 year old Annabelle Dixie - spends regular time in the care of her VERY active/capable 90 year old great-grandmother. I agree - it is SUCH a blessing our kids can build relationships and legacy with the great-grand generation ❤

I got 15 years with two of my great grandmas. I absolutely loved hanging with the old ladies! I learned how to cook and bake, play card games, read, and write in part thanks to them. It’s the best having close family. Makes me sad my family is far from my children now. They won’t get the same experience as me😞 Thank goodness for technology and Google duo.

Seeing your kids on the counter reminds me of a story my brother told about waking early Saturday morning to sounds from the kitchen. His triplet girls and their older sister (about a year older) were all sitting on the kitchen counter in their diapers making themselves cereal. I guess she was the ringleader.

It definitely is a blessing for kids to have any grandparents or great grandparents. 😊 The "great thing" was not an option for one side of the family here..... My son didn't have the privilege of meeting one of his Grandpas. My Dad went to heaven about a month after I got married, years before my son was born. Embrace the moments!!! 🤗

You should try making your own Play-doh! It's really easy and super cheap. There are plenty of recipes online and it just takes water, flour, salt, oil, cream of tartar and some food coloring. It works really great and keeps well. It makes great little party favors for kids and you can even add glitter or shimmer powder to make it extra fancy.
