Description
Nobody warned you about this part.
They told you about the labor. The sleepless years. The science projects and the teenager who stopped speaking to you in complete sentences for about eighteen months. They prepared you for all of that.
Nobody prepared you for the moment someone handed you a baby and said, "This is your grandchild," and your entire chest rearranged itself.
Being a grandma is the role you did not audition for and somehow got the lead. You have all the love of parenthood, approximately none of the discipline obligations, and a completely new ability to sit on the floor for twenty minutes making car noises without checking your phone.
This book is for you if:
You have cried in a parking lot because the visit was too short. You keep toys at your house for a child who visits once a month, and those toys have better real estate than your own belongings. You have said "just one more" about cookies, stories, and trips to the park with the consistency of someone who has learned absolutely nothing from raising her own children.
Whether you are a brand-new grandma still deciding what to be called, or a seasoned pro whose purse doubles as a mobile pantry, this book will make you laugh out loud, tear up in the best way, and feel completely seen.
Inside you will find:
101 numbered celebrations of the funny, messy, emotional, and wonderful parts of grandma life, from buying outfits that cost more than anything in your own closet to learning cartoon character names you will never fully remember. Every entry includes a "Try This" prompt you can use right away.
A "You Know You're a Grandma When... " quiz with A/B/C scoring and three result tiers that will have you texting screenshots to every grandma you know
Three illustrated Grandma Bingo cards including "The Things We Don't Admit Out Loud," "The Moments That Matter Most," and a Grandma Bucket List Bingo, perfect for book clubs, lunch with friends, or the group chat
Original illustrations throughout that capture the warmth, humor, and tiny perfect moments of this stage of life
This is not a parenting book. It is not advice. It is 114 pages of proof that being a grandmother might be the single greatest thing you have ever done.
Written for women in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who already know that grandma rules are different, and that is exactly the point.
Part of the 101 Things to Love series from Sage Lifestyle Press.
Pick it up for yourself. Gift it to the grandma who has earned it. Either way, it belongs on the nightstand.
