WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF GRANDMA'S ATTIC!

     Don't we all wish we would have had some practical and fun ideas to do with our children and grandchildren.  Well now you have it.  I will be giving some fun suggestions for not only creating fun family time or much needed one on one time with that special little one.  But also some simple ways to help them to create the land of make believe and adventure.  The best part about it is that they will be getting the education they need to begin that magic time in their lives..... SCHOOL!


     After spending time with my GRANDMA TERI'S PRESCHOOL, for several years.  I decided to get involved in the school system, being a para professional aide,  Substituting in Head Start, Elementary, Middle  and High Schools,  I was also involved in the After School Program.  I have enjoyed every moment of my time.  But I soon realized that many of these wonderful institutes and programs lacked some huge factors.  WHERE DID THE MAKE BELIEVE COME INTO PLAY?  WHAT HAPPENED TO SPENDING ONE ON ONE TIME WITH A CHILD?

     I remember very well such a profound statement that my Father told me about his mother and his childhood.  I would love to share it with all of you.

     " Teri, my childhood home was tidy, and picked up.  But my wonderful, loving mother believed that us children would NEVER remember how well the house was kept but WE WOULD REMEMBER all the times that she PLAYED WITH US!!!!!"  My Father went on to tell me the COUNTLESS HOURS that his mother spent outside high jumping with them, playing basketball and softball with them.  He can remember all the songs and stories and poems and nursery rhymes that all her children knew and had memorized.  The many summers they spent CAMPING. 

     So with this NEW BLOG..... I hope to in steal the sense for each and everyone of us to put away all OUR DISTRACTIONS in life and just simply SPEND TIME with those we love especially THE LITTLE ONES, WE ALL ADORE!!!!!!

     So LET'S GET STARTED, IT'S TIME TO BECOME A LITTLE CHILD AGAIN AND TO SIMPLY THINK LIKE THEM!
                                    OH, and be sure and keep some
                                    of those grandma cookies handy!
