12 Best Grandparent Websites
E
ven though grandparent websites seem to be proliferating as fast as apps, each year we thrill and delight in choosing at
least twelve websites that we feel our readers and fellow grands will find informative, fascinating, insightful, resourceful, or
just lots of fun. We focus on those we feel offer something unique, informative, empowering, and inspiring.
Please note that we're not ranking the websites, as they're all first-place winners in our book. This year's winners (listed below, alphabetically) are officially receiving GRAND's "Best GRANDparent Website" of the year award to post on their websites.

Boomergrandparents.com

Maribeth (also known as Mimi and Chief Boomer)
launched BoomerGrandparents.com when her first
granddaughter was born in 2010. Now the proud
grand of three, Mimi challenges herself by taking
the thoughts swirling in her head regarding the dayto-day challenges and joys of being not only a Baby
Boomer, but a Boomer Grandparent in this digital
age, and assembling said challenges into some sort
of story. READ MORE

AskGranny.com

Launched in 2010 by Juliet Hambro, a grandmother living in Europe, Askgranny.com is
a unique website that researches information for grandparents and seniors regarding
all aspects of family life. All information on
www.askgranny.com is objectively assessed and

GagaSisterhood.com

Donne Davis founded the fabulously successful GaGa
Sisterhood in 2003, after she witnessed the birth of her first of
three granddaughters and "went completely GaGa." Today,
it's grown into a national social network where enthusiastic
grandmas come to bond, brag, and benefit from sisterhood.
Still at the helm, Donne holds bi-monthly meetings, sends out
monthly newsletters, and explores the many facets of modern
grandmotherhood on Gagasisterhood.com and the GaGa
Sisterhood Facebook page. READ MORE

features include quips and commentaries; profiles of grandmothers; travel pieces;
how-to articles; movie, book, auto, and product reviews; recipes and more. Lisa
