The July 4th holiday is just around the corner and that will bring many opportunities to watch fireworks with the grandkids!

Whether you’re Irish by heritage or simply Irish at heart, creating a festive St. Patrick's Day celebration can turn an ordinary afternoon into a memory they’ll talk about for years. After all, when you’re celebrating with grandkids, every day feels a little lucky.

Yeast, flour, water & salt. What's missing from a perfect loaf of bread? Grandkids. Pull up a chair and let the little ones dive in to help. Messy? Absolutely. Tasty? Always.

‘Tis the season for pumpkins! It is time to create some special decorations and treats with the grandkids to celebrate October.

Rustling leaves, winding trails, the Cuyahoga River — along with the rhythmic whistle of a train — all invite us to slow down and soak it all in.

For grandparents, it’s the perfect time to slow down and share a slice of nature and nostalgia with the younger generation. What better way to do that than a hike through the fall foliage, followed by hands-on fun with leaf crafts?
