Grandma Has Taken on a New Meaning
My husband and I recently became grandparents. At 41. I really didn’t see that coming down the pike! I suppose technically I’m a “stepgrandma” but that’s quite a mouthful. I’m fine with grandma, or whatever cute little way our grandson says it.

Feeding the Kids While Mom and Dad are Away
It hit me yesterday that someone is going to have to feed the kids while hubby and I are in Phoenix. Normally, that wouldn’t concern me too much (the grandparents have been warned not to feed Mister anything with MSG in it…if they do, well, it’s their own fault.) because my parents and my in-laws are well experienced in feeding children. But, when you throw in Special Dietary Needs, well… Continue Reading
