The #GrandmaProject, Reading
The #GrandmaProject was amazing. So far, July is my favorite month of this year. When I told people hubs and I were going to have the grandkids for two weeks, by ourselves, everyone said some version of its too long and you’ll be so tired. Here’s the thing. Tired doesn’t kill you. And time with…

I Was a VR Taco…
It’s true. It’s one of those mom/grandma/taco moments. Though I usually prefer my tacos on a plate. So my taco adventure began when my son asked me to meet him and the grandkids in a virtual reality chat room—a private one, of course. I managed to navigate the sign-on process pretty well—I thought. I think…

A #GrandmaProject Tale
When I was a little girl, I would go to visit my Grandma, who lived a few blocks away. In my mind, I can still see her smile of delight when I would burst through her door. As we both got older, I can remember opening the door and if she wasn’t in her chair,…

Things that go Bump in the Forest
I had a hard time coming up with a blog topic for today. I’ve been hip deep in the #GrandmaProject, which tends to shrink my world down to four dear, little faces. So, when I get stuck I browse the hub’s Flickr feed for inspiration. I’m not quite sure how it works, but the “idea”…

“Spring” and the #GrandmaProject
This is a picture that the hubs took last year during our winter of endless snow (okay, it wasn’t endless, but it felt endless when it kept piling up!). This year, Mother Nature has been doling out the snow a little at a time. It snows. It warms up and melts the snow. It warms…

Revisiting Why Veronica Scott Wrote WRECK OF THE NEBULA DREAM
I’m seriously engaged in the #GrandmaProject, so I thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of my “Why I Wrote” guest posts, and what could be better than my first! I had this crazy idea of asking authors to come and answer the question of whey they wrote [fill in…

The #Grandma Who Lived
The Grandma not only lived, she loved every moment of her holiday #GrandmaProject. Now the aftermath? Being left in an empty house? That is not so great. But it is part of the Circle of Life, so I will be brave (mostly). One of my kids asked me what I was going to do when…

#GrandmaProject- The Adventure Continues
I’m getting ready to embark on a #GrandmaProject #Adventure and I’ll have to admit, it’s hard to think anything but, ‘YAY!” So I thought I’d dive into the archives of this blog (I have over 700 blog posts! Gulp!) and share some oldies, and I hope, goodies. At least you know they are oldies. LOL…

#GrandmaProject Rocks My World
My life has been filled with many adventures. (I define an adventure as a life experience that takes me somewhere new and is a) wonderful, b) hard/uncomfortable, c) taught me something even if it took me a while to figure out what.) Obviously any Big Life Change is an adventure (and sometimes a NUD-venture). Going…
