for what it's worth: My Grandma Handbook

for what it's worth: Grandma Handbook:They call me Nini.

  I've talked about my "Grandmother Handbook" during lunch at work several times.  I explained that I started...

Babysitting a toddler chart

With the next room ready to transform I needed to make storage space in the garage available.  So a spot near the door was cleared and the boxes of "sell or give away" started filling up.  We also were successful in filling severl boxes for storage that will go with us in the move.  With the temperature rising over the 100 degree mark before noon, that project was replaced with another cooler, inside one.  Keeping with my goal of cleaning or clearing at least one shelf/closet/drawer or cabinet a day, I tackled the area under the kitchen sink.  With that done I sat down to do some fun planning.

During the month of July I get to baby sit the great grand while everyone else goes to work.  Ahhhh, this is what I retired for!  With my obsessive organization habits in full force, I put together a plan for the first week.  Pinterest and I got real close today.  There are so many talented people out there, I had a blast.  Here is what week 1 plan looks like for the 2 year old:
