I’m not crying, you’re crying!! Oh geeze!! What wonderful news!! You will just love spoiling that little boy. How special that your daughter and son-in -law chose to keep your son’s namesake strong. I love the colorful spread!!❤❤
So exciting for your family! No wonder you've been mentioning 'eventual grandchildren' so much lately! 😍I don't have any kids but I have tons of nieces and nephews and every new baby seems like another excuse to give so much more love than you ever thought you could.
Oh Mary Ellen! What a beautiful tribute to your son. ❤ You are going to love being a grandma so much! My heart is so full of happiness for you and your family.
CONGRATULATIONS MARY ELLEN!! The Grandma club is awesome! Our 2nd grandbaby was born on Tuesday. I am so happy and so proud of you and how you are taking care of you. You are worth it! I've been with you for many, many years now and am just happy for you. ❤ This spread was FABULOUS! I loved everything about it from decorating to what's going on. I also hate the peeing all the time. LOL Take care of you! I just ❤ you! Thank you for being you and being real!
Being a grandmother brings pre joy! I lost my 4 year old boy Jacob suddenly in an accident in our home. It’s been 33 years: Jake’s little brother was 2 years old when he died. Jordan now is in his mid 30’s - he had a baby a couple months ago and gave his son his brother’s first name for his baby’s middle name. It feels so wonderful that he chose to honor his brother this way. I’m so happy for you to have this sweet baby coming in to your life! We think we love our children- but the love we feel for our grandchildren - there are no words!
Congratulations on the upcoming birth of your first grandchild. There is truly nothing like it. My granddaughters bring me so much joy! Enjoy your new role, Mimi!
I never thought I could ever love someone else's child as much as my own...until I became a grandmother. It's a different kind of love, but just as strong. The best part is you can love them and not worry about the discipline part. And when you get tired, you can send them home! LOL! Seriously, though, it's the best feeling in the world. Congrats!
Mary Ellen, congratulations to you and your family! I hope that your new grandchild brings you so much joy and peace. You have inspired so many people and you deserve to be HAPPY!
Don't apologize for crying... honestly, I started crying before you did! 🤣 I am so happy for you and your family!!! Babies bring so much joy and you and your family deserve some happiness. Congratulations Mimi!!!
Congratulations and welcome to the grandparent club. I became one for the first time in February 2023 and we are welcoming another one in September of this year. So happy for you and your family.
Congratulations MaryEllen! Being a Grandma is the absolute BEST! You are going to have the best time spoiling your grandson! The joy grandchildren bring into your life in unmatched!!! The best advice I can give is to love unconditionally and teach him to be a kind and loving human!!
Aww ❤ Mary Ellen! I am sending you all the virtual hugs. Congratulations on your first grandchild! I know how emotional and special it is for him to share the name of your son! I lost my father one week after I found out I was pregnant with my first child. I had a boy and he is named after my father!
Congratulations. I totally understand your joy. We currently have 11 grandsons and 8 grand daughters. I was just as excited with the 19th that I was with the 1st. It never gets old. Be prepared to lose a piece of your heart ....they each have mine and it is an unsurpassable joy
Congratulations on becoming a grandma. I became one 2 years ago, and my grandson, whose name is Jasper, has been the greatest joy of my life. I went with being called grammie. ❤
How wonderful you’re becoming a Grandma for the first time! It’s such a fabulous time the pride you have is like no other. I am about to become a Grandma (due in a week) to my second granddaughter and my feelings of excitement are like a kid in a candy store! My first granddaughter is going to be an amazing big sister (she’s 8) you’ll be an awesome Grandma so enjoy every moment xxx💕
Congratulations!!!!! Being a grandparent is amazing! I've been keeping a journal of my favorite quotes and little life lessons I've experienced as well as notes to my granddaughter of the fun moments I spend with her and watching her grow. I'm hoping to give it to her when she's much older. She’s 3 right now.
Love the fun colors but I am so excited for you becoming a grandparent! There is nothing like it and it will fill your heart with so much love! And who doesn’t need love, right? Thrilled for all of you!
CONGRATULATIONS YOUR GRANDSON!!! How exciting and so much fun. I love being a MiMI to my little guy. It's so much fun. I am so glad she chose Michaels name to carry it on. How sweet. At the 2:04 minute mark I knew you were gonna sing that LOL. It was in my head as well. lol. Good for you for taking a break and taking it easy. Sometimes you need that.
Congrats on the new baby!! ❤ My niece is named after my mom and the feelings that I know my mom is smiling and that it fills our hearts with joy even in the mist of loss. Your heart will fill with joy especially when you hear your name Me me?? ❤❤
I’m so excited for you! When I read the comments about you becoming a grandmother before you announced it in the video, I hoped they would give a nod to your late son! Congrats!
I have ADHD too, and it really is a cycle of letting the clutter pile up and then do a big clean, and then you make promises to yourself, and then it happens again and again again. For me, I just have to do things differently than everyone else and give yourself grace. Just accept its going to be a part of your life and that makes it easier 😌
The love you feel for a grandchild is not even something that can be put into words. It is just indescribable. My best advice is to spend as much time as you can with him and set little traditions that you do together. For instance, my grandson and I will sit and eat ice cream and look out the window when it’s raining just a little thing but that something that we both enjoy and look forward to, also when he was little I would take him to the grocery store and go up and down the produce aisles and touch and smell and name all of the fruits and vegetables. He’s 11 now but he still remembers and we talk about how he learned all the vegetables and fruits , silly little things that make a lasting impression. You will be a wonderful Mimi! ❤️ My grandson’s middle name is Michael as well. ❤️
Congratulations Mimi (? Spelling). Being a grandma is just an amazing time. I have a 3 yo granddaughter and she’s the apple of my life. Your daughter honouring her brother by adding his name to the baby’s got me in the feels. So you go ahead and cry whenever you want. ❤️ I can’t wait to see the future baby spreads to come. Such happy news.
I am the same way with my house. I have piles everywhere, and I do feel better when it’s clean. But then when I’m looking at the piles it’s overwhelming.😂. You are not alone.
🥹🫶🏽congratulations grandma! My mom says that being a grandma is better than being a mom cuz the baby is a mini version of you(me) and she loves them that much more! Hope that made sense!🙏🏽 Prayers for a good pregnancy, labor and delivery. Bless you and your family!
oh congratulations! It is such a different experience and one you will love.. Babies are so special! I'm also a "Mimi".. So happy for you and your famiy.
Hi from one Mimi to another! I love the name Mimi and I know you will too. Words cannot describe the joy this grandson will bring into your life. You have the absolute best days ever to look forward to.
This is the first time I have seen anyone use lined paper in a Happy Planner (or any other planner or journal)! Getting lines for lists, notes, etc. in my spreads is one of my biggest challenges! I've used my happy planner stencils to draw them in, but do not like that look, (unless I do that on top of a sticker lol!). I'm running out of stickers with lines, bullet points, dot lines, etc., AND blank ones I can add lines to, so your method is a game changer for me!
watching this video right now.. CONGRATULATIONS!!! so exciting💙🙏🏽 thank you for sharing with us, sooooo cool on the name💙 to be blessed with his Uncle's name...BIG HUGS Mary Ellen❤️😘
We have so much in common with our life experiences and trauma. I cried when you did...for similar reasons. I lost my daughter; I'm a grandma who goes by Mimi; I'm in travel status as of late as well. Drink water 1st thing in the morning. Juice your fruit to enjoy staying hydrated during the day. My fave is watermelon 🍉 strawberry 🍓 and 🍋 with a sprig of mint. I make it by the pitcher.
Like you, I am living on my own for the first time in my life and learning how to navigate everything by myself after losing my daughter and my husband. It is an adjustment to say the least. Congratulations on your first grandbaby!! I have 13 and they are the reasons that I keep going! I always say that the parents job is to worry about money and drs and such - our job as a grandparent is just to love them! And it is the best thing ever ❤
Maryellen... I am so happy for you! I am a Mimi too. My Grandson is named after his Grandfather and Great Grandfather, who are both in heaven. It's touching! Your spread is fun! I love the Bright colors. Hugs❤
I love your spread! So beautiful and colorful! I’m so excited for your news about being a grandmother. It’s the greatest thing on earth. We’ll be praying for you while you heal. Lots of Love! ❤
I'm crying right along with you at your happy news!! My Mimi was my best friend - no one loved me more than she did - and I know you'll be the same with this precious baby! I am just elated for you and for your family! My heart is so full for you all!! ♥ (Edited to add Celtic Sea Salt may help with your water absorbtion; I switched and it helped me a lot! AND I love your Currently page - bright spreads are my favorite!)
Congratulations Mimi!! What a blessing for you, Kaylie and Aaron! Michael as a middle name is perfect and honors the memory of your son. Very cute and bright currently page.
What a beautiful spread!! Love it when the squeaky toys make it into the videos!! And congrats on becoming a glam-ma!
