Four Steps to Making Great Memories with Grandchildren!
One of my favorite devotions from the Grandmother's Biblewas written by Bobbie Wolgemuth and is entitled, "I Will . . I Will . . ." She says, "Psalm 9 contains a great 'I Will' activity list to remember when you spend time with your grandchild. First, start with an attitude of praise. Tell the Lord what you are thankful for. Count your blessings, name them. It will be easy to have a heart full of thankfulness after you've named even a few. Your heart will be full and running over with the kind of attitude which pleases God and spills over on the young ones with the love of the Savior.

Make the Most of Being a Mom or Grandma with The DNA of Grandparents & Parents Who Hand Down Confident Faith
If you are looking for a book to help a mom or grandma you love make the most of handing down confident faith, consider this book - The DNA of Grandparents & Parents Who Hand Down Confident Faith.
In this book I look at how our physical DNA is a truly amazing and essential part of who we are, as it holds the "code" or instructions for the things which make us unique as well as for the things we share. It connects us with the generations who came before us; as well as with those who come behind. It is the core of who we are physically.

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.

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.
