Grandparents are the whipped cream and sprinkles of life. I am hoping to play that role within the next couple of years!

My grandparents were pure magic! I wish my children could know my mother. But the rest of my children's grandparents do a great job of cherishing, connecting, and celebrating. Sounds like a great book.

I'm feeling really bad for Heidi and grateful for my mama.

Love your review – we're expecting our first grandchild next June. I don't feel old! I think I better get the book 🙂

This makes me sad. My oldest was my in-laws first grandchild and the experience was not a good one. They called themselves "Mom" and "Dad" and were obsessive and possessive. Since he was MY parents 17th grandchild, not much fanfare or attention, there. I didn't have grandparents, (one set were run over by a train before I was born, the other set, grandpa died before I was born and Granny lived in Minnesota–like you!–and I saw her twice in my whole life since we were in California) and in a way, neither do my kids. My mother in law has died, my FIL has remarried twice and focuses on his wife rather than his kids and grandkids and my parents each have one foot in the grave and live with my sister and her six kids. Now THEY have grandparents. Okay, I'll stop venting now … it just touched a nerve, I guess. I'm glad YOU have such great grandparents for your kids. Hugs!

This looks great. I will have to check it out. As I am one of those grandparent types! I love my grandkids though, and the oldest one is only a couple of years younger than my youngest daughter.
