Grandma Rules

I was about 11 or 12, (please don’t make me do the math) when my older sisters started getting married and having their own families. My dad, if I remember the story right, copied his dad and had “grandpa rules”. He would always pick up the check at a restaurant. If you tried to pay, he would play the “grandpa rules” card. 



I know that life coaching isn’t about advice and rules, but as I have thought about what to put on social media, I thought some “grandma, mom and life rules” would be fun. 

P. S. and dad, you haven’t played the “grandpa rules” card for a while. Let’s go out to lunch!!!  Who else wants to go???

Ok. Here goes nothing!!!






 Alright, I am ready!!  Who has some tough choices to make? Parenting issues? Marriage problems? Or goals to make?  I am officially open for business. Feel free to contact me by phone or email.

Making Better Memories - A new beginning




We haven’t posted on this site for years. My friend, my partner in this site, this idea, this mission... passed away. It has been years now but the pain doesn’t dull. I have been trying to decide what to do with this group, this site, Making Better Memories. I decided to use it for life coaching. Kim and I would talk for hours everyday... about our dreams, parenting, marriages, adoption and just life in general.

I would like to use my degree to help people and carry on our idea to help Make Better Memories. I have an associates in social work and a bachelors in marriage and family studies.
I was talking to Kim’s daughter, as we played around in the local pool (something I did with Kim every summer). I was listing jobs I could do with my degree and life coach was one of them. After that conversation, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I think I need to turn our idea to helping families succeed instead of just sharing stories.
So? What do you think? What’s your opinion? I would love to know😘
