Welcome!

I'm Gran'mare and those two fabulous faces above are my grand-daughters.."The Girls"...Beanz & Bou and these pages are all about our days together. You see, I am privileged enough to spend more time than the average G'mom with "The Girls" (2 in '08).

We have a funtabulous time together and hope you enjoy visiting us. Hopefully along the way you'll laugh a little, cry a little and learn a few things from a well seasoned G'mom & mother of 3.

I had hoped to start this shortly after their arrival mostly as a journal for myself but............
I will backtrack (as memory allows) to the beginning when Aunt Tissa & I hovered over Mama Baby and together we heard their heartbeats for the very first time...talk about slap happy!

Super Simple Meal



Serve just these or add whatever is in the fridge
ground meat, diced ham, leftover chicken, chunks of cheese, canned tomatoes)




I've added Parmesan cheese (you could also add some sliced cheese for mac & cheese)
Another option is to simmer for a few minutes in Evaporated Milk...I always have this on hand.




Perfect seasoning for kids..No Salt.
Get them use to spices/flavorings early and they will not be so picky later on.

Power Lunch

 

Bite size is better. Look for loaves of "mini slices" by the deli counter. It's a great way to get the kids to try something different. Above is Rye but there is also Honey Wheat & Pumpernickle.
