Being a grandma is one of the biggest joys of my life! We have four special grandsons ranging in age from five-and-a-half to six months, two curly-top blondes with blue eyes and two dark-haired brown-eyed blessings. Presently ‘MuMu and Bobo’ are loving-on two of them.  

If you are a grandparent, you will enjoy these random quotes that express a grandparent's sentiments exactly:

I absolutely loved this quote but the picture tells half the story. A little girl is holding her puppy and says, “I’m going to smooch on you just like my grandma smooches on me.” Who doesn’t love to smooch their grandkids?  

“Mess with my grandkids and I’ll go fifty shades of crazy on you!”    

“Even when my grandkids are not in my arms, on my lap, or in my home, they are in my heart and will stay there forever.”

“A grandma is a hug waiting to happen!”    

“Grandma doesn’t babysit, she has play-dates!”

“My greatest wish is that my grandkids know how much I love them and they walk through the rest of their lives knowing that…I’ll always be there for them whenever they need me!”

“Nana’s House Rules:  LOVE; the answer is always YES; expect to be spoiled; bedtime is negotiable; lots of hugs; what happens here stays here; laugh, be silly and have fun; eat whatever you want – Open 24 Hours; Grandchildren Welcome Anytime – Parents by Appointment.”

“Blessed are those who spoil and snuggle, hug and hope, pray and pamper, for they shall be called grandparents.”

“The most amazing thing about getting to be a grandparent is that the very kids you made so many mistakes on (may-have could-have damaged them irreparably) grow up and honour you by trusting you with their babies.  Could there be a greater grace?”
