Cyndi at Layers Upon Layers no longer has grandparents, and hasn’t had any for a long time.  Although she loved her grandparents deeply, she says she never really thought that much about what their feelings were towards her…until she had her own first grandbaby and felt the overwhelming love just flow out to continue the cycle of life through the generations.

Katelyn from Simply Thrifty is glad her great-grandma passed thriftiness down to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Susan at PlayLibrary shares suggestions for several books for grandparents including activity books for grandparents and grandchildren to enjoy together and memory books for grandparents to give to their grandchildren, which are sure to become family treasures handed down from generation to generation.

Chloe from Tangled Thread along with her mom, created a series of memorial church textiles to celebrate her grandmother’s life.

And at MomGadget, I remember the influence and memories with my grandparents that help mold the person I am today.
