National Grandparents Day

Today is National Grandparents Day and as a Nonnie I want to celebrate my Grandbabes.

This is Trentati and Landon, my two oldest grandbabes, on their first day of school this year.  I can not believe that they are old enough for BOTH of them to be going.  I love how they have grown to love Coppie and I.  It is so exciting to see them tearing up our front walk yelling for us when they arrive.  These two are what has made me a happy Nonnie for they named me.  (Well Trentati did!)

Here is our youngest grandbabe, Scotty.  He is now just over a year old and developing into quite the lil fellow.  His personality is coming out more and more.  I have never seen him that he does not have a quick smile on his face.  I can not wait for him to learn how loved he is by everyone.

The Legacy Project at www.legacyproject.org has plenty of free online family activities to help celebrate National Grandparents Day, September 9. The Legacy Project is a big-picture learning project for all ages. The Legacy Project has also partnered with Generations United in Washington, DC for their Do Something Grand! campaign designed to encourage intergenerational social action. You can download a Take Action Guide.  For more information, the free online activities and complete Listen to a Life Contest details, visit www.legacyproject.org.

Let's Sing with the Snowman

Today I was able to share The Snowman's Song: A Christmas Story with my children that we help take care of. And it was amazing to see the faces light up as we read the story. But one of the things I liked next was that I did not have to read it a second time. Of course they asked. And then I popped in the CD of The Snowman's Song: A Christmas Story for them to listen to. So we cuddled up to the stereo and heard the story again. Boy did that ever save my voice.
The story tells the tale of a little snowman who wishes with all his heart for a voice so he can sing the Christmas carols just like the children do.

There is little chance that he will have a voice, because the snow world is quiet.
Everyone knows that snow people communicate by sensing thoughts and feelings. A beautiful red cardinal helps and a kind young girl gives him hope, then a Christmas miracle happens.

I do have to thank Leaping Antelope Productions for sending me this wonderful holiday story. She shared with me that every book purchased of The Snowman's Song: A Christmas Story will then provide another book for a needy child. What a blessing that is. You can share this story for the holidays and also make sure another child has a new book too! And we can do one more than that too!

Yes, we plan on sharing in a giveaway of The Snowman's Song: A Christmas Story. All you need to do is visit The Snowman's Song and come back and share something you found of interest there. (This is mandatory to enter.) You can also have extra entries too. Additional entries can all be done with a separate comment for each for following, having my button, twittering, links on face book, sending others to the giveaway (they have to credit you) and blogging about this great giveaway. Make sure that I can contact you some how in order to let you know if your the winner.

Win a Magical Photo

I have a friend over at Jayde's Little Corner and she has a fantastic giveaway going on.

Is it a new car? Or a house all redone for one lucky winner? How about your bills paid for a year?

Would be amazing, but alas she is not that rich or magical. But she can do something I find fantastic. She can alter photos to make the neatest looks ever. And she is going to do that for one lucky winner. (Maybe me?) Well, ok you can go and enter to win too.

But, first let me share just a lil about Jayde. She is a mom to two teen/tweens. A beauty of a blond headed girl who has eyes just like her mom. And a tow head boy who still remembers that the imagination is the greatest toy! Jayde also has a sexy as heck boyfriend. Why do I say that? Well, because he makes me laugh...and that is the best sex appeal I know of. They have a hoard of pets (dog, cats and snakes). Jayde works as a manager of a convenience store and knows how hard it is to keep business up during such hard times. But she stays positive and has great customer appeal.

And now off to show you a little of her work. Jayde hope you don't mind me showing off for you!
And don't forget to go and enter so you can have an original to give or receive as a Christmas Present. And remember all of these photos belong to Jayde. But the one she makes for the winner is all theirs to do with as they wish.
