About This Blog
Welcome to Grand Life, the TulsaKids blog that explores the wonderful adventures of grandparenting! Join me and my grandchildren as we explore interesting activities and visit family friendly sites in Tulsa. This blog shares the joys and challenges of grandparenting as well as the various roles grandparents play in their grandchildren’s lives.
When I’m not doting on my grandchildren, I love to read, write, and compete in open water swims and triathlons.
I have published a memoir, The Long Road to Happy: A Sister's Journey Through Her Brother's Disabilities, through The RoadRunner Press. Please visit my author website for more information, dianemorrowkondos.com.
