  1. Hello Beth,

    I wanted to ask you something and also to say thank you. I know you don’t know me and I’m quite new to your web page but my granddaughter and I are having a great time with printing your free printables and doing the other fun activities. However, I would like to know if you have anything for Nanas and granddaughters for mother’s day. It’s just her and I, maybe a Happy Nana’s Day activity to print out?

    Thank you again for a fabulous website as I have told many others about you and your fun program.
    Leigh-Anne
