GORGEOUS GRANDMA DAY

July 23rd is Gorgeous Grandma Day and we are recognizing all the women who embrace the age of a grandma, whether they are grandmothers or not! Gorgeous Grandma Day embraces and encourages all women to flaunt their granny attitudes with purpose and style.

#GorgeousGrandmaDay

Not all women become grandmothers. Those who do, don't necessarily fit the traditional mold any longer. Others still reach a point where many assume grandmother status, even though no grandchildren are around. While some grandmas fit the traditional mold with gray hair and cookie-baking, home-making, hug-giving, child-spoiling energy to spare, many grannies sport a whole new role. Many take on the part of grandma to the children in their lives.

No matter the type of grandmother they are, they're all different. Some play the hippest games, wear the latest styles, and know how to find the best deals on technology. Even the grandkids can't keep up! Funny, sassy, and energetic grandmas, rebel grannies and smart grannies make the grade, too.

In many scenarios, grandmother-types step into the role where no grandmother remains. These women lend ears, laps, and hugs, much like the nanas of memory. Of course, they build foundations and set young men and women on their path.

Nearly all of these fantastic women pass down family traditions while teaching children to stand on their own. Full of wisdom and wit, what would anyone do without their nanas? They go by many names, but they're all gorgeous in their own way.

On Gorgeous Grandma Day, let the grandmothers in your life know how much they mean to you.
