Today, I am celebrating because TakingCareofGrandma has been live for TWO years!
During the entire month of May, we will be celebrating the TCG blogiversary and invading timelines and twitter feeds with real life experiences of family caregivers.
[Read more…]As I look forward to my blogiversary, I find myself thinking a lot about the day I became a caregiver and all of the crazy events that have transpired as we have stumbled and steadied ourselves along life’s path leading up to now.
My “caregiversary” is a date I will never forget.
Recently, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Beth Braverman at MemoryWell, who did a feature on millennial caregivers. When I read the article she wrote, tears came to my eyes. It beautifully captured exactly how I feel about caregiving for my grandma and how my life has changed since I took on this very important role.

If you are currently caring for a loved one, or caregiving has ended for you, I’d love to hear about your own caregiving experience and how you became a caregiver in the comments below 👇👇👇
Next month, right here at TakingCareofGrandma.com, I will be celebrating my second year of blogging with a month-long blog party with the goal of bringing to millennial caregiving.
We have some awesome celebrity guests who will be sharing their stories on my blogiversary! These caregiving all stars just happen to be millennials. I will introduce you to them over the coming weeks.
BUT WAIT, there’s more!
In addition to the motivating stories and free game from our millennial caregiving all stars, I have some great gifts for you to download, completely free, including:
In honor of the TCG Blogiversary, for the month of May ONLY, you can download Head Caregiver in Charge: The Complete Handbook COMPLETELY FREE and get your caregiving business in order so you can get back to your life.
The Handbook will include all the tools you need to hire and manage a team of caregivers to help you care for your loved one. Learn more at

One of my life mottos is When in doubt, make a spreadsheet.
I created this tool when I was thinking about hiring help and submitting our long term care insurance claim to see how much I could pay my grandma’s caregivers and how long it would be sustainable. I am offering this tool to you completely free during the month of May for my blogiversary.
PLUS
If you’re like me, music is your life source. During the month of my blogiversary, I will have very special playlists for you. The #ACTIVATED playlist will pump you up in the mornings or whenever you need a boost, and the chill TF out playlist will help you calm down when you’re having a meltdown or want to wind down after a long day.
No party would be complete without performances!!!
In concert (get it?! haha) with my blogiversary, we will have kick-ass #Tunesday peformances, including:
