Christmas Gift Guide I used to love watching Oprah give away her favorite things on her show. I mean, how cool would it be to be able to give so many people great gifts? I’m not Oprah and I can’t give you gifts, but I can help you with your holiday shopping by sharing NanaHood’s…
The Opioid Crisis As many of you know I have a book coming out early next year specifically for grandmothers. This post isn’t a promotional piece about my book (although you can read about and pre-order it by clicking here). This post is about what I learned while working on the book concerning opioid crisis. One of…
The Pinnacles A few weeks ago we went to Berea and on the way home we stopped at the Pinnacles. We weren’t prepared to go hiking but it was a pretty day and we didn’t know when we would ever get back there so we picked the shortest trail and set off. I won’t go…
We don’t need a dog “We don’t need a dog. We can’t manage the responsibility.” What happened yesterday? My words from the last three years became trash, and we adopted a dog. I know, I really worked those stern mom moments. She’s pretty cute though. Her name is Lola, and, I think, she is now…

Faith Seeds Today is Sunday. Ever since I was a little girl Sunday was a day for church and family. Momma’s favorite meal to cook on Sundays was roast, potatoes and carrots, with whatever vegetables she might have fresh from the garden. She also made homemade biscuits almost every single meal. Sometimes we had jellies…
My friend found a batch of letters I wrote to her in 1974 when I was 18. I decided I needed to write that girl and give her a few pointers. What advice would you give yourself at that age? Read my thoughts on NanaHood.com
Doggie Love At Our House It’s no secret that we love dogs. I thought it would be fun to share with you some of my most recent dog photos. This is my husband and our son’s girlfriend’s dog. Kash is a miniature Golden Doodle and we baby-sit frequently. He loves snuggling and is one of…
Cute Things Grandchildren Say My three year old grandson calls blueberries “Bwewberries.” I can’t make myself correct him because it sounds so sweet. When our twins were very young they referred to golf clubs as “golf plugs” and when they wanted a tissue for their nose they asked for a “tennis shoe.” This stage doesn’t…
We went to Woodstock, Georgia this weekend for a wedding. I had ever even heard of Woodstock, except the rock festival in the 60s. It was a beautiful weekend filled with friends, food and laughter. I won’t share all 10,000 of my photos with you but I have to share a few! Adventure in Woodstock…
When my daughter, Rachel, was young I took her to see Little Mermaid and it’s always been one of our favorite Disney movies. This weekend Rachel’s daughter, Kennedy, turned 5 years old and they celebrated with a Little Mermaid birthday party. Today I’m sharing the highlights with you through pictures. Her birthday was on Friday…
Remember the movie Viva Las Vegas that Elvis Presley starred in with Ann Margret? I must have seen it at least one hundred times. Come to think of it, I saw all his movies that many times. So last week when I went to Vegas I have to admit that in the back of mind…
