What are we losing that once made our society great? Let’s talk about doing 5 things the way Grandma did. 

Talk to the Neighbors

The age of communicating with neighbors is all but dead in America. We rush home from work and hide in our homes in front of Netflix.

There was a time when people spent their evenings together. The time has long passed for this and it would seem that we are headed towards a dark time of isolation. 

Mom had it right! 

Cook from Scratch

Grandma made it all from scratch from pies to dumplings and no one made it better! This from-scratch cooking skill was born of necessity. Because of convenience, we have lost this skill though it is the key to good health. 

Keep a Paper Calendar

A paper calendar and to-do list are crucial to your success in day to day life. Have something you can hold and check off on as tasks are completed.

Send Letters 

An all but dead art is that of sending letters. How special a day can be when you receive a handwritten letter from someone you love. 

Keep a Photo Album
