Do you remember your grandparents' house?
|
Dear Reader, What do you remember about your grandparents’ home? When I think back to my childhood, I remember the smells: eucalyptus trees, furniture polish, and my grandmother’s perfume. I remember the feeling of sinking into the down-filled cushions of the pink velvet couch. I remember the taste of vanilla yogurt and tea with honey. Their house wasn’t cozy, but it always felt like an adventure to be there. So many of our childhood memories revolve around the senses. Our grandchildren’s memories will be no different: they’ll remember how they felt when they were at our house. Not all of us have the picture-perfect cozy grandparent home—the one with the warm kitchen, fresh-baked cookies, and that special chair just for reading together. Maybe you live far away. Maybe you're in a small apartment. Maybe you're still working full-time and barely keeping up. But here's what I know: warmth and comfort aren't about the perfect setting. They're about the feeling you create when you're together. If you're craving more of that cozy, comfortable energy this fall, whether it's for your own well-being or to create for your family, I've got something to share. It's called the Candlelight & Comfort Bundle, and it's a collection of 15+ ebooks, printables, and seasonal living tools. Inside you'll find comforting recipes, cozy journals, herbal projects, and mindful rituals to help you embrace the slower pace of late fall. All of this—a $300+ value—is available for just $25, but only through November 8.
This is an affiliate offer (I'll earn a small commission if you purchase), and it's not my typical recommendation. But if you've been wanting to create more warmth in your own space or rituals, or find simple ways to share that cozy feeling with grandchildren, this might be just the thing. Warm regards, P.S. What do you think your grandchildren will remember about your home? Questions like this make great conversation starters! DeeDee Moore | Founder, More Than Grand LLC | morethangrand.com |

Hello, Reader! If you’ve been getting the Holiday Harmony Challenge emails, you read about the grandmother who spent way too much money on an elaborate gingerbread house kit, only to have her grandchildren lose interest after just a few minutes. I loved the lesson behind this story, because it’s something we too often forget when we are thinking of ways to delight our grandchildren. One grandmother responded to tell me that she’d spent a week thinking about a pumpkin-decorating activity with...

Dear Reader, I don’t have many bad dreams, but I do have a recurring Christmas nightmare. I have it every year without fail. In the dream, it’s late on Christmas Eve, and I suddenly realize I haven’t bought or wrapped any stocking stuffers. I race to the only open store, which is always the Sav-on Drugs of my childhood, and buy random items to fill stockings for all my children. I always wake up in a panic. And then, every year, I realize I still have plenty of time, and I start to get...
