Guess what? I’m finally able to share all about my book I’ve mentioned a time or two since I began working on it in the early months of summer (and Covid!). The publisher had asked that I keep details on it under wraps until close to publication date and now that publication date is near, the wraps are off!

Yes, after a LOT of hard work behind the scenes for the past several months, I'm excited to finally announce that The First-Time Grandmother's Journal: Inspiring Prompts to Celebrate Your Experience with a New Grandchild publishes February 4, 2021. That’s mere weeks away!

The First-Time Grandmother’s Journal is, well, a journal for those embarking on the grandmother journey for the very first time. As the listing on Amazon.com says (written by the publisher):

The arrival of a new baby is an exciting time for grandparents-to-be, and you’ll want to write down and reminisce about every magical moment of the journey. This exquisite guided grandmother’s journal is brimming with heartwarming prompts and moving quotes to help you preserve every thought, feeling, event, and experience you have as a first-time grandmother.
Prepare for your new role with exercises that will show you how to form an eternal bond with your grandchild. You’ll reflect on the hopes and dreams you have for their future and record the lessons you want to pass on for generations to come.

Here’s a sneak peek to show the journal has not only prompts followed by fill-in-the-blank spots as most journals do but also features various Q&A sorts of stuff and guidance for grandmas-to-be in their exciting new role.

I’ll share more here in the weeks to come.

I know the majority of Grandma’s Briefs readers are already grandmothers so my book may not be something you’d purchase for yourself. But The First-Time Grandmother’s Journal makes an especially thoughtful gift for the soon-to-be grandmothers in your circle of family and friends, so do keep it in mind for those who may appreciate the keepsake for recording the many initial moments and memories of this life-changing time.
