My Role as Grandparent
I have searched through the Scriptures to see what the Bible has to say about the role of grandparent.

AhmoCoco – Almond & Coconut Milk
After my successful attempt at making a latte from homemade almond milk I knew that I wanted to try and thicken it with natural ingredients.

Becoming Grandparents
We recently became grandparents to three babies. All within three months! How did that happen? I’ve been busy helping when and where it is appropriate. I try not to overwhelm them with my thoughts, ideas and advice… they have enough of that already.

Stories or Opinions
