Books About Grandparents

There are so many great children's books out there and though my boys are starting to get a bit too old for many of the picture books I have so many fond memories of reading to them.

    Grandpa Bud is a picture book that I enjoyed as a child, and my kids love it too.

    I think I'm still amazed that I am a grandmother! That was always somebody else, somebody much older then me, but now it is me! lol. And it is the most wonderful love I've ever experienced toward my precious granddaughter.

    Thanks for sharing all these great books about grandparents! :-)

    Lots of lovely books here. My kids doesn't have their Thai grands here with them. So this is such a nice reminder of them. Thank you for linking up with us on #FabFridayPost

      Mine are quickly getting there! They'll allow me to read picture books about science, history and geography but even with those I have to be careful they're not to young looking.

Share 4 Somethings in April, 2026

Image
Tomorrow is the last Saturday of the month and time for Share 4 Somethings with Jenn. This year we're sharing something we loved, something that sustained us, something we're carrying forward, and something we're making space for each month.    Something I loved: Our new patio-- Ian (and myself, Evan, and my husband) worked on putting in a small patio for our generator and Ian's new fuel tank/pump to sit on. We sanded and painted our generator to match and while I can't say it looks lovely it looks so much better than it used to .   My time in Nashville with all these wonderful ladies:     Touring the Biltmore!  Touring Kingscote with Evan: Breakfast with Alec-- not only was the food incredible but the company was really nice too.   Something that sustained me:  I feel like I ate so good this month (and by that I mean more that the food tasted amazing rather than it was incredibly healthy)... but I still managed to maintain my weight s...

15 Family Restaurant Games

Image
When my boys were little and we'd take them out to eat I kept a small bag of toys in the car to grab on our way into any restaurant.  That way they would be entertained and a bit quieter while we enjoyed our meal. Now that the boys are older we don't keep a bag of toys handy but we do have few games we use to keep the boys occupied if they start getting bored or squirmy while we're waiting for our food or our check. While there are many phone apps, portable gaming systems and electronic games that could occupy my kids we prefer to use the time together at restaurants to connect with one another and so we tend to play games like: Hangman--   any restaurant that has paper place mats works well for this.  We take turns picking  a word and drawing our hangman stand then take turns calling out letters and seeing if we can solve the puzzle.   Tic Tac Toe-- This works best with pen on paper place mats but we have played making a grid with butter knives ...

Hodgepodge Wednesdays: Earth Day Edition

Image
 It's Wednesday and that means Hodgepodge with Joyce!  1. April 22nd is Earth Day...what's the most 'out of this world' place on earth you've ever visited? Tell us something about it.  The most "out of this world" place I've visited so far is Haleakala on the island of Maui. We truly felt like we had walked out onto a different planet. You can't see it much in the photos but we could see a whole rainbow of photos in the various sand colors. Though volcanoes national park was a close second- that cracked lava black ground hardly looks real and we happened to catch the park on a day the volcano was erupting too.  2. A favorite quote, verse, or song lyric with the word earth in it?  copied from OneTreePlanted (here) - they have some neat quotes about Earth/nature! 3. What's the most trivial thing about which you have a strong opinion?  This is actually quite a list-- but probably the most trivial is... squeezing the toothpaste tube from the botto...

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Newport Mansion: Kingscote

Image
So far I've toured The Elms, The Breakers (a few times), Rosecliff, & The Marble House  out of the 9 Newport Rhode Island mansions. Last Tuesday, Evan and I added one more to our list. We toured Kingscote. So I am officially over 1/2 way there in seeing them all.  Kingscote is the smallest of all the mansions we toured so far but it is considered the first house in the start of the "cottage boom" that Newport is known for (because yes, these mansions were built as summer cottages/getaways). Built in 1839 & 1841 for George Nobel Jones, a southern plantation owner.   Built in the gothic style it's a bit darker than the other mansions and since it's much smaller it only took us about 45 minutes to tour.   Much of what is known about the house is from 1864 on when the King family took it over, they made their money as China Trade merchants and David King Jr and his wife enlarged, redecorated, and renamed the house "Kingscote" in the 1880's. ...
