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!

*****I do not recommend the sparkle Foamies**** they have a very strong chemical smell (mine are being returned)

I also got the little containers there for $1 each (reg price-in the main isle).Also you will need something to stick them on. Foam "boards" in a variety of colors are now $3.99 for 65 rectangles (other sizes available & on sale)

They also have foam "boards" with a peel off sticky back. Great if your kids are too young for glue.
Ally & Bri put pom-poms on theirs.

This is a pom-pom
