Do you have a special song you sing to your grandchildren - especially as a lullaby? I sing, You are My Sunshine to my grandsons . . . or at least my version of the song! I've changed it a bit . . . "♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ You are my sunshine, my little sunshine. ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ You make me happy, all the day! ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ I love you forever and for always! ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ You are my sunshine today! ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪"

crafting with grandma - My Crocheted Pocket Purse!
I was browsing on Pinterest and found a pattern for a three pocket purse! I love to crochet purses, so this is one I went ahead and made. I love the design with three pockets . . . so I thought I'd show you a photo and tell you the few things I did to "tweak" the pattern! I made a few "tweeks" . . . I made it with two pouches instead of three, added a small pocket inside for ID and crocheted a handle. I like this pattern as it is quick and easy to make and you can use most any yarn you want - whatever colors you want for a look all your own.

Make Your Summer Count - Get the little answer book & the little answer book for children
Summer is almost here and it is a time when we typically are able to spend time with the ones we love and build memories as we do things we may not typically do throughout the year - such as have the grandchildren over for extra sleepovers, go on family vacations, try new things, bike, camp, swim, gather to celebrate special times, go on picnics, etc. All of these things are excellent things to do in the summer and help build strong ties with our family. They are able to help make a difference as you build strong relationships with your family.

illustrate my own - Check Out this Series
Bible people. I was motivated to do so because when you see books about Bible people, they are usually about just a few Bible people and there are so many more people in the Bible with fantastic accounts of how they were able to know and walk with God. I enjoyed writing the Bible stories, but am not an artist, so I thought maybe it would be fun to write a series of books with an "illustrate my own" "twist" - the children - and/or families - could illustrate their own books!
