15,000 people reading "Help! Everyone is Dying!" by GramaBarb

I wrote my story of the 1980's on Story of my Life and as of today I have had 15,000 views and counting. The title of the story is "Help! Everyone is Dying!" Please read it and leave your comment. I've linked to my Squidoo lens A Grandmother's Love and yes it is doing well too.

The special Featured Story written about me is doing phenomenal with over 130,000 views. The title of the story by Tamar Burris is "GramaBarb: A Grandmother for the 21st Century"

These stories are about me as a Grandmother and are validated through my passions of life on my 170 Squidoo lenses. I don't promote Squidoo on SOML but my life passions as they are featured on my lenses - they meld naturally together.

The point of this blog is? If you are not getting over 100,000 views maybe you need to take a step back and widen out your vision.

I have been Featured on Story of My Life


"GramaBarb: A Grandmother for the 21st Century"

is the title of the article that Story of My Life writer, Tamar Burris, used when she wrote this article about my life as a grandmother. The article highlights my passion for sharing family Genealogy with my grandchildren and the need for Grandparents to be active computer and internet users with their grandchildren. Plus we can share our creativity with our family through the use of Zazzle and Cafepress.

Thanks to Story of My Life for featuring my story.

Beyond the Politics - meet First Grandma

Jan. 20/09 - Beyond the politics of the day I was thrilled to see family working together by including extended family. It brought tears to my eyes when I heard the words "Grandma Marian Robinson will be moving into the White House with her family!" Just stop and reflect on the importance of that example to the world. Here is a family that practices what it preaches. Grass root values in action and 2 very happy granddaughters because they will not have a stranger looking after them when Dad and Mom are away but they will have their beloved Grandma with them. Watch this video I found about Grandma Marian Robinson. It will warm your heart that she is living in the White House. Please meet First Grandma Marian Robinson and listen to what she has to say.

Do All the Good You Can,

On the A Grandmother's Love lens there is a poster that has a wonderful quotation starting with the words "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can," - Isn't that a great theme for 2009?!

Are you a grandmother? I would love to hear from you. Tell us the good you do in your family and community.

Do you always make family and friends feel welcome? Do you always have time to listen? Does your door freely swing in?

Let's visit Grandma's Kitchen for some fresh baked bread and a warm visit often in 2009.

Reviews: Inflatable Kids Education Toys

Inflatable toys make a lot of sense when you have to live in a small space because you can fold them up and put them away.
Create an outer space theme party for the kids with inflatable toys.
