When I first began writing and publishing articles, it was in 2010. My grands, the ones I still live with, were all under five. As their grandma, I wanted to find ways to play and connect. I'm not a board game person! Tea parties and dress up are not on my list of fun things! The truth is, I like learning. I always have. I thought a lot about how I could ‘play’ with my grands and make it work for all of us. What I came up with was learning for fun.

I’ve been moving articles from my old site to this new home for nine years, come May 2025. Why has it taken so long? Well, I always have new experiences and lessons to share. And I had over 600 articles on the old site. That’s a lot of rewriting. : ) There are still fun things on that old site, especially when it comes to learning with kids and making it fun.

So, over the summer, I'm going to share many of the cool lessons I taught my grands and the tools I used to do it.

LET’S BEGIN WITH COWS

Your love of learning and growing is a legacy you leave for your children. But how can you find the time to read, study, or write while raising a family? It can be a challenge, but I know it can be done becuase I am doing it now, amid the chaos of a four-generation home, caregiving, and a busy life. This is something we can all do.

Join me as I share an example of the importance of giving your children an example of learning and growth. This can be done by anyone, no matter your circumstances. Let me show you how!

I've written many articles on the importance of making sure the story we tell ourselves is helpful to our sense of well-being, relationships, and happiness. How we perceive something matters.

Last week I shared one of two experiences that cemented what I have learned in over a decade and a half of taking control of how I 'see' what is happening in my life. Today I share the second. As with the first, it is powerful.
