Do What Truly Matters With Your Grandchildren

Invest in your grandchildren. Focus upon handing down the faith - these are things you will never regret doing and things which truly matter!
2017 Christmas Gift Review & Giveaway - November 28, 2017 - Folkmanis Donald Duck Puppet
So far in my 2017 Christmas Gift Review & Giveaway, I've reviewed the new Folkmanis Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Puppets. They are both beautiful and big - making a wonderful gift for the child you know who is a fan of Mickey and Minnie! Today I'm happy to let you know about two more puppets in this new Disney line from Folkmanis - and announce a giveaway for one of them.
Two days ago a large box arrived at my house while my youngest grandson was here. Inside we found one Donald Duck Puppet and one Pluto Puppet. He immediately started hugging Pluto and told me he "loves" Pluto. He played with the puppet for hours and when he returned the following morning, he continued to play with Pluto for about four more hours. He laughed at how when you squeeze Pluto's front legs, his ears go up and is very happy Pluto is big enough to hug and snuggle with on the sofa. Clearly, Pluto has to stay at grandma's house for the grandsons to enjoy. (I'd let them take it home, but their dogs Gimli and Roxie have been known to chew up toys. We decided Pluto was "safer" at grandma's house, for now.)
So, today I'm very happy to let you know about the Donald Duck Puppet- and announce another giveaway for this beautiful, big puppet!

Grandmas with Heart - Please Check Us Out!

posting about items I received for my yearly Christmas review & giveaway. It is a fun month, followed by a month packed with even more fun when I give away the things I wrote about in October!

Do the children you love think dinosaurs are cool?
My grandsons are great fans of dinos - especially my six-year-old grandson! So, when I learned Jurassic Quest was coming to Grand Rapids, MI, I had to find out if it was possible to review it. I'm so happy to say not only are they allowing a review, but are providing one family 4-pack of tickets for me to give away (for use in Grand Rapids, MI only - November 3-5, 2017)
If you have not heard yet about Jurassic Quest, you may be wondering what it is, so please allow me to introduce you to an opportunity for your family to create amazing memories . . . with dinosaurs!

Please Share Your Favorite Cookie Recipe & Applesauce Cookies
It is my firm belief most, if not all, of the people who read grandma's cookie jar are people who bake cookies - at least from time to time. So, I thought it would be fun to have a favorite cookie recipe contest . . . and arranged for a special prize for the person who shared the winning recipe.
But, with only today and tomorrow to go, for submitting a recipe, only four people have shared a favorite cookie recipe.
If you have been planning to share your favorite cookie recipe, and I hope you have, but just have not done so yet, you only have today - October 17, 2017 and tomorrow - October 18, 2017 to share your recipe.
