I LOVE being a Grandma! My grandboys are giving me the opportunity to be the
Mother I "would have been" if I could do it all over again with more
money, more time and more experience. I recently had two of my grandboys for an entire week while their parents were off having a rest and it was NOTHING like back when I was raising my own children! I had more patience and I had More Fun! I didn't sweat the small stuff - and let's be honest, since I knew that they were eventually going home, it was a LOT easier to be patient!
Today I wanted to share with you this layout of Grandson #1 all fresh and new, ready to start grade two...sigh. He's going to be NINE in a few short weeks and it has just FLOWN by! So I wanted to pass on this very important piece of advice to all you future Grandmas out there "DON'T WASTE A SINGLE MINUTE!!!" you have a very small window before hanging with Grandma isn't "cool" anymore so get in every single experience you can... it is so very, very SWEET!

ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet and your right on every count. I think it'll be alot easier being a grandma than a mother. Gorgeous layout and I love that string.
