How To Tell Loved Ones You Have Cancer

Grandma, What Do You Do All Day?

Welcome to my YouTube Channel, Youthful Aging for REAL Women. For a lot of us, one thing that helps us feel more youthful is grandchildren, but when we retire, they wonder what we do all day.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog. Have a beautiful day. Please find a little joy and sprinkle it everywhere!

Thinking of Starting a YouTube Channel? Or Designing Your Own Products to Sell?

Scary – really scary – I do NOT like being in front of a camera. I was raised during a time when nobody took selfies, when the word, selfies, didn't even exist in the dictionary. But when I started watching YouTube videos, I though maybe it was time to push myself out of my comfort zone and give being in front of the camera a shot – literally.

The first video I created was AWKWARD! I felt VERY uncomfortable, but I followed the advice of some YouTube content creators and made it anyway. I had to learn how to edit movies on iMovie, and I had to learn how to create a thumbnail. I had to learn how to convert pixels to inches so I could create banners and so much more. I spent MONTHS learning from some of the most educated and successful YouTubers and I did it! Here is my most recent YouTube creation (I'm a little more confident in this one than I was in the first video):

Hilarious Old People Embarrassing Senior Moments

When I felt fairly confident about continuing my YouTube channel, I discovered that I could make products to sell on that channel! I don't have enough views or subscribers yet, because I'm so new, but I investigated that prospect as well, and now I have a store  with HUNDREDS of items listed! Here are 4 of them:

If you're interested in starting your own YouTube channel, make sure you learn from Creator Academy, Sean Cannell, Sunny Lenarduzzi, Gillian Perkins, and Video Influencers. 

And if you're interested in selling items, such as t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, and totes, watch videos made by Greg Gottfried and Jason Gandy.

Dumb Ways to Die at a Park with Avery and Larissa

This video was created by one of my granddaughters and stars one of my other granddaughters and that granddaughter's best friend:

Oh NO! I Killed Buddy the Elf!

My youngest daughter and her husband asked me to watch their kids last weekend. They did NOT inform me of the Elf on the Shelf rules. So when I opened the refrigerator door and Buddy’s legs were in the way when I started to close the door, I moved his legs.

From behind me I heard the scream of my 7-year-old granddaughter. “NOOOO! You’re not supposed to touch Buddy!” 

Frightened, I backed away from the refrigerator as I went into all-out defense mode. “I wasn’t touching him.”

“YES YOU WERE! I SAW YOU!”

“No, I was just moving his leg so I wouldn’t smash it in the refrigerator door. Do you want to see him with a cast on his leg? I wasn’t hurting him. I was saving him.”

That seemed to work. She calmed down.

Until yesterday – when she woke up – and found him still on the refrigerator.  In my defense I was already home, so I take no responsibility for why he was still on the refrigerator.

“Grandma killed Buddy!” she sobbed to her parents when she discovered he hadn’t moved. Nothing her parents said appeased her and she spent the whole day thinking I had killed her beloved Buddy. 

I knew nothing about any of the happenings yesterday, but I got a call today informing me of the rules about Buddy. Rule one – you can NOT touch him; otherwise he might die. Rule two (I found this one by looking online) – Buddy does not speak or move while you are awake. 

Fortunately I have been forgiven, because as of this morning Buddy was alive and well. He had moved!

Lesson learned!
