It has been months since I gave an update on raising our 2 oldest granddaughters.
I will start with a quick recap of how we got to this point in life. About 8 years ago, our oldest daughter started her fight with addiction and she brought her girls to live with their Papa and I. If you would like to know the beginning of that story, I have put a link to that blog post here
It seems as though my home is full of hormones and teenage drama. I love having the girls here, but wow! Teenage girls can really test your patience!

I realized the other day that I have been blogging for 7 years as of December of this year, 2021. It really doesn’t seem as though it has been that long. As the saying goes, where has the time gone? The funny part about blogging , at least my blog, is that it began with me doing one thing and then within a year or so of that, morphed into something else. I started out reviewing products for some sellers that I was working with directly and as the years went by, it has become a blog about me raising my grandchildren and all things related to parenting and/or grandparenting. I tend to do a lot of giveaways on my blog, simple because I enjoy giving out free stuff to my followers!

Recently I have realized how much games in general have a huge part in our day to day lives. I came to this conclusion the other day as I looked around the room and both of my teenage granddaughters, my husband and myself all had a phone in our hands. When I asked them what they were doing on their phones they each answered individually that they were playing a game. (side note, I had also been playing a game on my phone prior to looking up at everybody else)
I have 2 teenagers in my home (my granddaughters I am raising) and anybody that has teenagers in their lives knows how hard it can be to get them to communicate with you. When I noticed my teenagers playing their games on their phones, all I could think was how hard it is to get the girls to communicate with me. When I asked them about the games they were playing it gave me a way to get them to talk to me. Anybody that has teenagers will appreciate that it can be difficult to find a way “into” your kids’ lives.

It has been months since I wrote a heartfelt blog post. I find myself feeling all kinds of crazy emotions lately, so I figured now was a great time to start getting back to what I originally created this blog around. I am a grandparent raising grandchildren. The crazy part of that statement is that I am only one of 2.7 million grandparents that are currently raising grandchildren!
Just to give a quick update. I am married to an incredible husband and we are getting ready to celebrate 25 years of marriage in a couple of months. About 6 years ago our 2 oldest granddaughters came to live with us. Our oldest daughter, their mom, has addiction issues in addition to some mental health things going on. She has always been a great mom and so when she felt herself making some bad choices and running from some things that had happened in her adult life, she brought the girls to her dad and I. I have always respected her for that choice, as she never drug her kids through the ugliness.
