WELCOME

You know the saying

"It takes a village to raise a child."

My son and his wife decided after their children


were born, that they wanted my husband and

I to be live-in-grandparents.

We live under the same roof with our son,

his lovely wife and our two adorable grandchildren.


WE ARE THE DAILY GRANDPARENTS!

Cooking Up Sweet Memories

Tip # 2-Bake with your grandchildren when they are little and cook with them as they get older. Even a 2 year old can sit beside a mixing bowl and pour ingredients into the bowl.If you tell them what you are adding to the recipe each time you are increasing language. If you talk about amounts as you measure out ingredients you are developing math skills. And knowing how to make something you can eat is just plain cool! Even if you resort to slice and bake cookies that have preprinted decorations for different holidays, you are still doing something together that they will always remember. Scarlet made cookies with grandpa today. Brother wasn't interested in the baking part, just the eating part!
