Sometimes in order to be the ‘grand’parents that we are (!), we may go a bit overboard with many things. Oh, come on admit it – we all do! It’s been a rough road over the last couple of years, and now, as we move forward we hopefully can spend more time in each other’s company. Most importantly, let’s make one point loud and clear: PUT DOWN THE DEVICES AND ENGAGE WITH YOUR GRANDCHILDREN ☺

The foods were simplistic and easy, and while today they might not graze the top of the ‘cool‘ list, they certainly have value and are not outdated for your nutritional needs.

Grandparenting is all about contributing to the evolution of relationships.
