just as grandma's cookie jar should always be full of good things, this blog will be full of good ideas, information, activities and reviews of things to help grandma . . . and grandpa, mom and dad too . . . pass on a heritage of faith to the children in their lives!
I love peanut butter and think every month is a month to celebrate the tasty treat, but since November is apparently peanut butter lovers' month, it is a great time to share a simple way to turn a favorite recipe into an even better recipe . . . peanut butter toll house cookies!
Today I am happy to recommend a book written by a dear friend for you to consider adding to your own intentional grandparenting resource "tool kit" and for you to give as a gift for Christmas to the ones you love. Today's book, the single parent: confident and successful is written by Linda Ranson Jacobs and while it was specifically written for single parents/grandparents, it is filled with wisdom about handing down confident faith making the single parent: confident and successful a great gift for any and all parents and grandparents - single or not.
Christmas is less than two months away and many of us are thinking about the gifts we want to give to the ones we love. If you have someone on your list who due to health issues or age need a bit of help to get out and about with security and stability, then the Alevo Alu Rollator is the perfect gift to give them this Christmas!

Christmas is less than two months away, so today I am very happy to share with you a book which makes an excellent addition to your intentional grandparenting "tool box" as well as a great Christmas gift for the parents, grandparents and church leaders you know. Don't Worry; It is Impossible to Spoil Grandchildren is written by me, Lynda Freeman.
My grandsons enjoy cookies, but one of their favorites is chocolate chip, peanut butter cookies. When they were younger it was not unusual for them to go straight to the cookie jar when they arrived at my house - which was typically followed with very happy smiles on their faces!

Legacy. If we think about it, we are all likely to want to leave a positive and lasting legacy to the generations who come behind us. We likely want our legacy to be one upon which future generations are able to look back and see a life lived in a way which made a difference. A legacy of confident faith, which was faithfully handed from our generation to the following generations.
I LOVE the imagination of four year olds! I LOVE the way they see the world and how some things are just "obvious" . . . at least if you are four years old!
If you enjoy baking cookies with your grandchildren and want to try a recipe which you may not typically make, consider this recipe for Cherry Jam Thumbprint Cookies (I found it at this link and "tweaked" it just a bit) . . .
