A grand time...



A website I enjoy as  both a non-traditionally aged parent and a senior interested in remaining savvy and social is “Grandparents.com.” The site maintains that “our goal is to connect and inspire today's families. As the Trusted Resource for Grandparents, we strengthen the ties between family members, promoting well-being and giving timely information and expert advice on what really matters to you, from health and money, to travel and retirement. Our stories and videos celebrate the role of grandparents, and encourage you to tell your story, passing on a meaningful legacy to your children and grandchildren,” and they do a comprehensive job.

I first logged on when seeking resources for an inquiry into volunteering opportunities for Baby Boomers and discovered their initiative to engage seniors via their “Grand Corps,” an internet clearinghouse of volunteer opportunities across the nation. Once on the site, I stayed to explore the more than 50 resource portals that encompass information about grand kids, family and relationships, work and money, food and leisure, health, marketplace deals, games, advice and much more! The contests and give-ways section is always fun to share one's dreams with, and “5 Things I Learned This Week” covers random, but always provocative topics I look forward to browsing.

So sign on and take a look. The Community section has some good conversation this morning!
