Chic Grandma

Hi! I am the mother of two grown sons and grandmother of a grandson and granddaughter, now 5.

I have written 7 books, the most recent for mothers and grandmothers, called "Who Gets to Name Grandma? The Wisdom of Mothers and Grandmothers." It is based on 40 interviews in which I asked, "What advice would you like to give the other generation?"

Proceeds of the books go to support a company I founded, Sky Blue Pharmaceuticals, LLC, to bring a cancer treatment to market. Enjoy getting to know what other mothers have to say about raising the next generation! When Mothers Talk - Cancer Walks! My blog is at  http://www.newgrandmas.com.
