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!
Do you have any flowers growing in your yard which give you a sense of happiness to see them in bloom? I live just 30 minutes from Holland, MI - home of the Tulip festival, and as you might imagine, tulips are a big deal in this area. Pretty much everyone around here has tulips which bloom in their flower gardens - even people like me who have the "black thumb of death" when it comes to growing plants!
Mother's Day is just a few weeks away, so if you are looking for a gift to give a mom you know, consider giving them the gift of "why" with the new book - the little answer book. This little book will give them "whys" to share with the ones they love - to equip them to have a confident faith, and to have important conversations with the ones they love who have turned away from their faith.

I've been sharing some Mom "trivia" I found on-line before Mother's Day, so I thought today it would be fun to share some animal mom fun facts! Did you know . . .
Praying for our grandchildren (and children) is something we all know we need to do, but it is also something with which many of us struggle. We may feel like our prayers do not even make it through the ceiling above us and do not know what to say or how to pray. Our lives are busy, so finding the time to pray can be a challenge which we may not overcome and then days go by without us spending time in prayer.

Now this has to be a great gift idea for mom . . . Chocolate Chip Lip Balm . . . and, it is one you could help your grandchildren make for their mom!!! I found the recipe on Pinterest and most of the ingredients are pretty simple items you may already have at your house . . . and you can likely find the beeswax at a local craft store!
Mother's Day will be here in a few weeks, if you are looking for a great gift idea for the moms/grandmas in your life, consider giving them this book.
Have you ever wondered, or been concerned, if you might be spoiling your grandchildren? Well, worry no longer, because it is impossible to spoil your grandchildren! If they were truly, "spoiled" we would have to throw them away, and of course we would never do such a thing! It is, however; possible, and highly likely, you will "well-love" them. Take heart! God sets the example for us of what it looks like to do this, because He absolutely well-loves us! When we follow God's example, we will understand both the joys and responsibilities of handing down a heritage of faith to our grandchildren.

I just realized April 11th, was Pet Day! I can't believe I missed writing about it, but if you have a pet, you know every day is "Pet Day", so I'm writing about it today. Most of us have, or have had, a pet and consider them to be part of our family. When my husband Dave and I were first married, we had a Basset Hound; we named her Mindy. When we had children, Mindy was a "mother hen" to them! She was definitely a part of our family for a long time!
