My Grand New Days Begin

in Blog, Grand Family on 26/03/05

Mr. B and Me

SaveSave

I feel like I’m beginning part II of my life or maybe it’s part III.  The first chapters of my life would be growing up and leaving home.  Not only would that not be  interesting but it would be a little sad.  I didn’t have much of a home life and spent most of my childhood figuring things out for myself.  It made me the person I am today, the good and the bad. The next chapter was getting married young and having five children.  I loved being a mom, even if I didn’t know what I didn’t know.  I also wasn’t sure about how to do  all the “mommy” things.  I loved exposing my children to lots of activities including museums, theater and the arts. Seeing how my children turned out I think I did a pretty good job.    If blogging was big then I would have blogged about creating a home, taking mommy field trips, making and sewing all things creative, and challenging my children to be the best they could be. My marriage to their father fell apart.  I was married but realized I was doing everything on my own.  When my last child was ready to graduate from high school I began my next chapter.  I wasn’t alone for long and found a great man to share part III of my life.  It was the  beginning of my GRAND Life.  My children are still adding GRANDchildren to our lives.  Mr. B. and I go on GRAND adventures all over the world.  I am able to design and create GRAND homes.  Instead of using my artistic skills to support a family I now can create for fun.   This blog is for me, and the empty nester who enjoyed the nest they built but are ready for a GRAND NEW DAY.

Oh, hi there!

I like to describe myself as a woman of leisure but in reality I’m Mr. B’s project manager. It’s not a bad gig and it does come with many benefits. I plan our trips, as we travel the world. I'm kept busy creating and designing our beautiful homes. The best perk is I usually chose the movie we see every Friday. I’m a part-time artist, with aspirations of becoming a full-time artist. Painting, photography and all types of crafting are my true loves. I like to say I’m an artist of many mediums and master of none.
My finest creations would be my five children. I’ve also allow them to parent my thirteen amazing grandchildren. My grandchildren are all brilliant, beautiful, spirited and take after me – their Mimi.

Stay updated!
