I created Grands-Raising-Grands for those of us who are on this journey together. Those of us who are determined to keep our families together. Whether it’s temporary, I’ve been there, or permanent, and I’m here now. I have been blessed with 8 grandchildren, although sadly 3 of them are deceased. Both of my grown children have their own battles with addiction. I can’t write about something I haven’t experienced. I’ve been told many times that I should write a book on the ups and downs that I’ve faced with my children and grandchildren. I’m 53 years old with full custody of and raising an almost seven-year-old boy. A book? Heavens No. A blog? We shall see……
This blog was created to inspire, educate, and celebrate grandparents raising grandchildren. We’ve come to this point for different reasons, and I’d like you to share your experiences in the comments. We can all learn from each other. It is my hope we can support each other in our journeys of parenthood (again)…. I want to create discussions about everyday life for us. The good, bad, challenging, rewarding, hardships, celebrations, etc.
We’ll discuss everything from picky eaters and recipes, potty training, daycare, temper tantrums, toy and book reviews, chores, children’s fears, and so much more. We will discuss the situations and reasons that have brought us to this place in our lives. I also want to spend time focusing on our health and wellness and being successful in the circumstances life has given us. Please join me in this journey of Keeping Families Together and share my passion for making sure none of us feel alone in our battles. Together We can be the people in The Village that makes it all make sense. Blessings and Thank You to all of you!
