Hi Friends!
My name is Elaine, but five of my favorite people call me Gramma Mac!
An award-winning writer, author, blogger, and columnist, I love to celebrate grandparenting, and have been doing so since my my first grandchild – now a teenager – was born. To read more of my “back story,” click here.
I am passionate about discovering and sharing resources with other grandparents, empowering them to intentionally create memories and build relationships with their grands.
Please share your comments, questions, and favorite grandparenting ideas. Let’s build a community.
Follow me on social media. Suggest topics for future newsletter articles. Subscribers receive my blog posts, as well as weekly tips and a quarterly newsletter. It’s my goal to provide the best resources and be a “go-to” site for all things grandparenting.
Remember, you’re not alone in this journey. There are more than a billion grandparents worldwide, so guess what? You’re ONE IN A BILLION.
Thanks for stopping by for a chat, and I hope you Celebrate Grandparenting…today!

Celebrate Grandparenting equips grandparents to be significant influencers whether their grandchildren live under the same roof, down the street or around the world.

Elaine has written one of the truly creative idea books for grandparents… A must have addition to your grandparenting toolbox.

When God Says “I’ve Got This!”
God puts us in situations to prove we need ONLY Him. I shared this meme on Facebook last Friday. It intrigued me. Worth pondering, for sure. I try to live my life - no matter what - through a lens of “What are you teaching me through this, God?” When great times come our way it’s easy....
Boundaries
I'm learning. Still learning. And, one of the things I'm learning about is boundaries. Boundaries exist no matter where we are. There are boundaries on the streets and highways we drive. Curbs. Shoulders. Islands between lanes of traffic. Barriers of concrete or cables draped between steel...
