Give the Gift of "Why" for Mother's Day
Mother's Day is just a few days away, so if you are looking for a gift to give a mom you know, consider giving them the gift of "why" with the new book - the little answer book. This little book will give them "whys" to share with the ones they love - to equip them to have a confident faith, and to have important conversations with the ones they love who have turned away from their faith.
Today is National Washington State Day
Yes, today is the day to celebrate Washington State, so we will once again look at some of their silly laws and some interesting facts about this State. My grandsons enjoy the silly laws, so this is the reason I share them with you. Did you know . . .

Make the Most of Being a Grandparent - Don't Worry: It Is Impossible to Spoil Grandchildren - Great Mother's Day Gift
I've been writing for several years about how important it is for us, as grandparents to hand down a heritage of confident faith. One way I do this is to let you know about resources to help you as you do this.
Today I'm letting you know about a book I wrote . . . Don't Worry: It Is Impossible to Spoil Grandchildren In this book, along with sharing some of my "cute-grandson stories", I talk about important things for grandparents to think about and keep in mind as they focus on handing down a heritage of confident faith to their grandchildren. I talk about -crafting with grandma - You Are My Sunshine Hand-Print Art for Mother's Day
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! ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪"

grandma's cookbook - Spritz Cookies
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.

So, let's look at some of the benefits of reading books with children and then I'll share a couple children's books you might get for the children you love.

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.
