What Is A Grandma Challenge?
A Grandma Challenge is where the rubber meets the road! A Grandma Challenge is when I am actively trying to implement (or live out) a specific action or attitude in the spirit of how my grandparents would have done it.
My ideal is to try to maintain each challenge until my year of living like Grandma comes to an end. However, if a particular challenge is too difficult, I may have to step back and try it again at a later date. Please see 5 Important Questions for more on how I will work through each Grandma Challenge.
You are welcome to participate in any of the challenges. Please drop me a note at april@mygrandmawasgreen.com and let me know if you choose to do a Grandma Challenge!
April, I forgot about your Grandma project until right now. Jason is home sick, both of my girls have colds, and I”m rounding the corner on my cold. I took some time to sit and check out your site while all is quiet. It’s a luxury to sit and surf the net, check emails, and read blogs. As I sit and read all of your archived entries, I really enjoyed myself and found myself on the verge of wanting to challenge myself in similar ways as you are doing. And yet, I’m pregnant. I can imagine doing all of what you’re doing now, let alone when I”m not pregnant! I do want to encourage you in your new courageous ways of life, and tell you to press on. After watching your green bean video, I actually had to fast-forward the 4 minute clip to see if there was anythign else that would happen at the end. This is how I tend to rush things, and forget to rest and enjoy life. I suffer from hurrying and multi-tasking. After reading your posts, I also had to confront a fair amount of selfishness in my life. Thanks for helping me to journey through that. Thanks to for the laughs, at your expense, with the diaper changing routine. Wow.
Can’t wait to hear more from you. Take care friend,
Becky
A very good post.
