You’re Invited to the TCG Blogiversary Party!

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:

HEAD CAREGIVER IN CHARGE complete handbook

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

TakingCareofGrandma.com presents The Long Term Care Calculator

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.

  • rachelh15.sg-host.com ACTIVATED Playlist
  • rachelh15.sg-host.com Chill TF Out Playlist

No party would be complete without performances!!!

In concert (get it?! haha) with my blogiversary, we will have kick-ass #Tunesday peformances, including:

  • Barbara & Rachel singing Keep on the Sunny Side
  • The long-awaited Taking Care of Grandma RAP
  • And a very special Car Karaoke session with mystery guests (TBA).

TCG BLOGIVERSARY: ADVICE

Words of Wisdom

Everyone is quick to give caregivers advice.

Sometimes advice is helpful. Especially when it comes from people who have ‘been there.’

Hear from our featured guests on what they wish they would have known looking back.

Your Take

What advice do you have for someone who sees caregiving in their future or is currently in the throes of caregiving? We want to hear from you! Drop your words of wisdom in the comments below!

Thank you for joining the TCG Blogiversary! I hope you enjoyed the videos and learned as much as I did!

TCG Blogiversary: Meet Lora

Young Carer Turned Millennial Caregiver

Next up at the TCG Blogiversary Party is Lora Williams, who began her caregiving journey in elementary school as a young carer and is now balancing a millennial caregiving sandwich.

Lora is the long-time girlfriend of a friend of mine, but I never met her in real life until a couple months ago when we attended the WordCamp KC conference. Her story knocked my socks off!

Her story struck a chord with me, because as she was telling me about her life, I remembered doing a lot of the same things for my own mom when I was in elementary school and she was struggling with Congestive Heart Failure.

In this video, Lora shares who she is, who she cares for, and what her family dynamics look like.

I hope you enjoy getting to know Lora as much as I did.

 

Is your experience similar to Lora’s? We’d love to hear from you. Drop a line in the comments!

Next Up

Next, I will introduce you to Debra Hallisey, a family caregiver from New Jersey and solopreneur. Stick with us for the TCG Blogiversary!

TCG Blogiversary: Welcome to the Party!

All month long we’ve been celebrating TakingCareofGrandma.com’s one year anniversary, or BLOGIVERSARY!! We’ve already had a great month so far. I rolled out a blog redesign and looked back on the past year of caregiving and blogging.

Today (the day I refer to as my ‘caregiversary,’) the festivities have culminated into a crash course in caregiving. I am celebrating my caregiving journey by sharing the stories of other caregivers, all of whom have very unique perspectives and insights into the world.

I hope you will join us throughout the day, when we will release videos from these special guests. There is a great lineup!

Thanks so much for logging on to TakingCareofGrandma.com. Party on!

The first round of videos will introduce you to our featured party guests. I hope you learn as much from them as I did!
