A Fairy Birthday Party

Posted on: April 25th, 2011 by Grandma Kc 6 Comments

Amara had a wonderful birthday party. We had perfect weather again this year. It was a very mild but sunny 70 degrees; just the right temperature for a bunch of fairies to fly, bounce and be creative. And they did all that and more. The kids worked so hard to make this a great party [...]

We have a ritual for that!

We really do have a lot of rituals that we go through with Amara. I’ve told you about when I leave her house and head home to Grampy, she always has to send him home hugskisspoketicklespiderbites. And when her parents drop her off at our house, well we have a ritual for that, too. Since [...]

Amara was only 18 months old when Twursula went missing. Twurs is one of the cats that shares AmaraLand. She was gone for 2 of the l o n g e s t weeks ever. When Amara was a little older — maybe 2½ — I told her the Twursula story as a bedtime story since I knew she wouldn’t remember [...]

I know that as a Grandma I am immensely luckier than many other Grandmas. Amara only lives 1 short mile away. This lets Grandpa and I be involved in all sorts of things that we wouldn’t be involved in if she lived 100 miles or more away. Some of the best moments are the everyday [...]

Birthday Bash

It was a wonderful day for a birthday party and everything went perfectly. The weather man had predicted 72° with patchy clouds and it was exactly that – a perfect day for a bouncy house and 20+ kids to be in the backyard. Twiggy and Twursula could not have disagreed more. They really didn’t like [...]

Another one of the traditions that Amara is quickly outgrowing is Burrito Baby! Amara and I have always had a blast with bath time. This is another one of those things that parents often have to rush through because there are so many other things to be done. Grandma doesn’t usually have to rush and [...]
