Spending time with my family is always my happy place! Experiencing anything together and making memories have been my focus as a mom, and now grandmother. We’ve always worked hard and played hard, seizing the moments in the day.

I’m finding life is short and am grateful I’m an “all in” type of person and made things happen whether we could afford it or not. Sometimes family members might have murmured and felt drug to the Grand Canyon, or pushed into a week at the beach, but in the end, grateful for the experience and memories of time spent together.

It is proven grandparents can have a positive influence on their grandchildren by staying involved in their lives, loving them unconditionally and passing down traditions. I am so grateful my children include us in their family’s lives and keep us in the loop of ways we can support our grandchildren. Hopefully it means a lot to the kids, and quite honestly, it means the world to us!

My vision in this blog is to document some of our adventures for my family, and encourage and inspire you to tweak our adventures and make your own memories.
