Win a copy of Grandma Bird to celebrate Grandparents Day *NOW CLOSED*

Everything is my favourite part of being a grandma, from the youngest beaming , holding her chubby little arms out and screaming grandma xx My older grandchildren confiding in me with things they won't discuss with their parents. Just the feeling of being so loved and special to them all.

Perfect stocking filler for my gorgeous grandson

Being able to love them then hand them back to their parents

My 14 month old granddaughter, Kairi has just started calling me Nana and I love it. Grandad is still Ya ya so I feel quite chuffed that there is no mistaking my name, although I must admit, that Ya ya is soooooooooo sweet!

One of many many delights, is when our granddaughters have a sleepover and they sneak into our bed for an early morning snuggle. Those sleepy warm and loving faces. priceless

The indescribable love

Smiles, cuddles and lots of love!

Being able to relax with them without the stress of being a new parent. And of course all the smiles and cuddles!

Morning snuggles in bed, even if it is 5am !

The wonderful bond between us!

How much joy and love they bring

How can I pick one thing? Love the cuddles and kisses, the smiles and laughter, seeing their delight when they discover new skills just love everything about them and love being their Nonna.

Being able to give them back at the end of the day.

The joy and laughter they bring us. Every day, they bring a smile to our faces.

Being able to spend time with the grandchildren and seeing the unconditional love in their eyes, oh yeah, and being able to give them back at the end of the day

I've recently moved near 2 of my gs. After only seeing them 2 or 3 times a year before, I love how they let themselves into my cottage and make themselves completely at home to the extent that they have pj's, onesies, slippers, toothbrushes and favourite teddies up in 'their' room for when they have sleepovers.

Warm hugs

smiles, chuckles, hugs and kisses

When my youngest grandson aged 3 says ‘ uv you nonna’ - my heart melts

I see my Grandsons all the time and having no sons myself they are the best ,one is at high school and the other will start next year, it's been a real pleasure watching them grow into who they are now.

My favourite thing about being a Grandparent is holding my grandchildrens hands as they wonder at the world around them and see new things for the first time from conkers to mountains!

Baking with the little one's

unconditional love

When we are on FaceTime and they say I want to go to Grandma Julie’s house.

I love hearing the grandchildren laughing and enjoying life!
