Colour me Grandchild

What a gift! The gift of being a grandparent. And if your grandchild is as beautiful and warm-hearted as mine, it makes it all the better.

What does being a grandmother really entail? Spoiling them with gifts, smothering them with hugs and kisses, praying till your knees give in… Sometimes the world makes us doubt ourselves and question whether or not we have something to give, teach or be to a child. Something that connects us in a special bond. I wondered about these doubts and my own relationship with my granddaughter, until I realised I don’t have to be like anyone else, I just have to be the best grandmother I can be. And the best granny I can be is – me!

I stated teaching my granddaughter about painting. Providing her with the necessary items to start her own painting collection and showing her how to make a simple picture come to life. By spending these precious moments with her I equip her with skills, not only for painting, but to open her mind to the colourful possibilities and powerful fire she has within her.

And making Granny proud in the process.
