Customer Reviews

Nice gift for a spiritual Grandmother

My mother-in-law loved this book. But it is very religiously themed, so make sure you're ordering it for someone who will appreciate that. It has names for Grandmothers in different languages (which I thought was neat) and lots of places to write. But it does have some weird items in it.

Perfect for Grandmas

I bought one for my mother-in-law and one for my mom. This is going to be a wonderful memory book for my young sons. As I read through a completed journal, I learned so much about my MIL! What an amazing woman!

What a treasure!

My mother is a very good writer and she loves to do it. This is the perfect way for her to record her stories that we heard when we were children, for her grandchildren. The text is wonderful, prompting thoughtful and interesting ideas to expound upon, with wonderful illustrations and quotations inserted. This will be a real treasure for her and for the receiving grandchild.

Always available reminder to grandchildren they are loved

I have been writing in this book off and on for the last few years. My eldest granddaughter is turning 13 and I want her to have this now. This is not the usual family history story. It requires openness on the part of the grandmother as well as a LOT of thought into the answers to the questions. You are telling your own story to your grandchild - not just the funny stuff or the historical facts, but how you came to faith, what is important to you, mistakes you have made, good things you have done, times you asked another person for forgiveness, and so much more. It also includes great pages to include those funny times and times of joy. The thing I like best is that in this book, I have recorded forever how very much I love this child and she can open it and remember on good days and on bad ones. She is going into those teen-aged years with all of their angst and I am three states away. Perhaps on just one of those days that she feels that the world just doesn't make sense, she will open this book and remember that God has given me such a tremendous love for her and that will help. I watched my mother and father pour out love on my kids and I saw my children encouraged by that love (although when the boys were 15-16, I wasn't sure how lovable they were, but my folks continued pouring out that unconditional love and promised me that "this too shall pass:) and I cannot think of a more important heritage than faith, love, and laughter. Highest recommendation.

Grandmother's Wonderful Wisdom

This book is a wonderful way to record your advice to grandchildren without being too "preachy". It guides you through each page with appropriate quotes, names for grandmothers from all over the world, and space to record your experiences and advice. It is a treasure not only for the grandchild, but also a stroll down memory lane for the grandmother, mimi, nanny, oma, or whatever your special name is as a grandmother. It is a joy to experience!
