just as grandma's cookie jar should always be full of good things, this blog will be full of good ideas, information, activities and reviews of things to help grandma . . . and grandpa, mom and dad too . . . pass on a heritage of faith to the children in their lives!
For the past two and a half weeks I've been posting each day about one of the National Parks in Canada. I have enjoyed learning about all these amazing places - and some of them are more than amazing - some are the only places on Earth where you will be able to see or experience the things in those parks.
Today I am happy to let you know about another truly beautiful place - Jasper National Park in Alberta - if you enjoy majestic mountains, this is a place you will love!

My daughter loves games and she introduced us to the game - Abducktion - it is now a favorite game to play at my house! What is Abducktion, you ask? Well, the creators describe it as, "Abducktion started in a very simple way — we wanted to make a game for grownups (and smart kids) that took only 15-20 minutes to play, just two minutes to explain, but was still strategic and competitive enough to make beating your friends and family still feel really, really good.
Here's the premise: Players are all interns on an alien UFO, working for an intergalactic corporation which has one main function: abducting ducks. (For research purposes, duh). But, ducks need to be collected in specific formations, and you'll have to use spatial logic and cunning to rearrange your ducks before your opponents to win!"
Yes, this game has UFOs, ducks, and LOTS of family fun for sure!
Do you, or a dad you love, have trouble getting around? Have you noticed a decrease in your abilities due to medical challenges or age and see how this impacts your mobility? If so, have you been looking for things which will help you with your mobility challenges? If so, then I encourage you to take a good look at the Miracle Mobility 4N1!
If you are curious about discovering unique places in Yukon, then Ivvavik National Park needs to be on your "bucket list" as not only is it one of Canada's National Parks, but there is far more about this amazing place than snow and cold - which you might think about since it is in Yukon!
Children's Day is just over a week away - it is the second Sunday in June and yes, it is a real holiday - not one invented by me! If you are looking for a gift idea for the children you love, consider the following books . . .
My grands love popcorn - we typically have it when then are at our house for their weekly sleepover, so today I want to write about an amazing popcorn I received for review . . .
Today is NOT National Polka Dot Day, January 22nd, is actually this wonderful day, but since I enjoy wearing glasses with polka dots - they add such a fun touch to my glasses for sure (I'm wearing my Pride Party Dots topper and Holiday Bauble with Foil Crystal topper both from Pride Eyewear.) I thought it would be fun to celebrate Polka Dots again today - one day a year is clearly NOT enough!
I read about this "spotty" holiday and learned it is intended to celebrate Minnie Mouse - she does wear polka dots. But I think it is a day to enjoy these dots beyond the Mouse for sure! Here are a few ways to celebrate - even on a day which is not the technical "holiday".
I'm very happy to share a book with you which will make a difference in the lives of the children you love. Are you one of the grandmas (or grandpas) who are so blessed to have grown children who love and walk with God, and who are committed to hand down confident faith with you to the children you all love? Do your grandchildren want to go to church, want to talk about their walk with God, and embrace a confident faith of their own? Or, do you have grown children who, like so many their age, are no longer involved in church, who do not embrace a confident faith of their own, and/or grandchildren who tell you they are, "not into that church thing any more"?

Grandmas have many important things they do - the things which make them who they are. As you live out your life as grandma, focus upon living your love for God on purpose, so your grandchildren see Him in all you do and say.
Summer is upon us - this means the outside will become significantly more inviting, so if you - or someone you love - has mobility issues, then definitely consider getting a Centuro Mini and you will discover you (or they) are able to enjoy the outdoors and all Summer has to offer!
Yesterday I wrote about Gros Morne on the East Coast of Canada, and today I'm writing about Gulf Island National Park Reserve on the West Coast of Canada - two very beautiful and surprising National Parks in Canada!
