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!

Autism has risen to an alarming 1 in 150 children!

I find this terrifying!

Please read up on how Autism is affecting so many precious & once "perfectly normal" children.
While it may be true that what causes Autism is unknown & open to much debate & speculation
if you have children you absolutely must have an open mind & be vigilant on what your child
eats & breaths in on a daily basis.

What is causing the increase in Autism? Nobody seems to know for sure...I certainly don't...but what I do firmly believe is has a direct effect on the health of our children and future generations is today's lifestyle.

As parents/grandparents our daily & seemingly mundane day to day choices determine the
quality of life our children will have and that is indeed a unbelievably awesome responsibility & priviledge.
And while some days may seem to drag on forever we have a minute time frame to do it in.

No matter what your child's age, habits, likes dislikes it is not to late to give them the ultimate gift that keeps on giving...
a sound mind & a healthy body. As overwhelming & daunting as that task may sound to be ,it is actually quite easy to achieve.
Just say no...no!...no!....NO!

The more you say it, the easier it gets.
No!
The more you say it, the less often you'll need to.
Soon it will become second nature to you & your entire family
..and you'll feel so darned proud of yourself.

Say NO!..
.............no more processed food full of sodium, unnatural colors & unpronounceable chemicals.

I know... that's a pretty all encompassing and admittedly rather unrealistic "no" and seeing that I too, live in the real world, admit that not everything I purchase/serve is 100% pure, unprocessed, organic or grown in my own backyard.
I open cans, nuke frozen blocks of "entrees", peel plastic off of "cheese",rip open candy wrappers and...shhhh...once or twice a year treat myself to a..gasp...a double whopper with cheese.

However.....

This truly is not the norm.
And it isn't hard to to either.

Stop buying in to gimmicks, so called convenience & in your face advertising by a bunch of profit seeking corporations whose only interest in your child is as a cash cow not a living, breathing, growing, amazing human being.

Read, research & be pro-active on what exactly is in your child's food, medications & vaccinations and
let the "powers the think they be" know you have a vested & vocal interest.

Be mindful
Be aware
Be strong
and be the foundation your child deserves to have

...after all their life does depend upon it.

While I have no direct contact or involvement with any one Autistic I am deeply disturbed & concerned with it's alarming rate of increase. I will continue to add any sites & information I feel may bring about awareness to the possible causes, concerns & treatments of Autism and I encourage everyone who reads them to pass them on.

Here is a good place to start.....

Do they have the answers? Many will dispute them and it's definitely not for me to say but hopefully they will leave you with many questions.
