For me, it was pan-fried steak. Grandma always had dinner going at 3:30pm sharp, and on steak night it sizzled until it was complete leather. But man, did it smell good! Maybe yours smelled like coffee, or even mothballs 😂 And it’s never just the smell, is it? It’s the card games at the kitchen table. The candy dish you’d steal from. The porch swing in the evenings. The way they said your first AND middle name! Those are the kinds of memories 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮 helps grandparents create with their grandkids inside 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿. The problem many of today’s grandparents face is trying to make those memories from three states away, over FaceTime, with toddlers who wander off mid-call and teenagers who have more important things to do. That’s when the miles between you start to feel like a different kind of distance. Maybe you’re the one sending birthday gifts and never hearing back. Or watching the calls get shorter as they get older. Or wondering if you’re doing enough, or doing it right. You’re not the only one. Not even close! If you’re craving more closeness with your grandchildren, 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 is where grandparents swap ideas that close the gap, whether your grands are in diapers or driving. Whether you’re nearby or miles away, Anna helps you find a way 👉 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆. It’s free. But before you go, what’s your fondest memory with your grandparents? Or what’s the most fun memory you’ve made with your grandkids so far? @Anna Murrietta

A big round of applause for @Donna Thornton, who took home last weekend's Red Light, Green Light win! 🏆👏 Donna showed up with thoughtful questions, specific suggestions, and genuinely helpful feedback that got people thinking about how to make their messaging stronger. She didn't just hand out colored lights. She helped people figure out what needed fixing and WHY. And we've got two VERY close runners-up! 👏 @Lisa Vanderveen and @MJ Berst! Both jumped in with thoughtful feedback, constructive critiques, and fresh perspectives that helped other members see their work through a different set of eyes. A HUGE thank you to all three of you for showing up and making this more than just another place to drop a link. THIS is what makes our community so valuable... and FUN! ❤️ 𝗡𝗼𝘄… 🚦 𝗜𝗧'𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗘𝗡𝗗! 𝗟𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗗 𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧, 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗚𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗦 𝗕𝗘𝗚𝗜𝗡! Drop something you're working on below... your one-liner, graphic, CTA, About Page, offer, sales copy, or anything else that could use a few fresh eyeballs. Then cruise through the comments and give feedback to a few other people: 🔴 RED LIGHT — It's vague, confusing, missing the hook, or simply isn't landing yet. 🟡 YELLOW LIGHT — The bones are good, but something is getting in the way. 🟢 GREEN LIGHT — Clear, compelling, and ready to roll! And remember, don't just drop a colored light and drive off! Tell people WHY you gave it and what they could do to improve. That's where the good stuff happens! 🔴 𝗡𝗢 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗞𝗦 𝗜𝗡 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧. 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗚𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗔 𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗘! 🔴😉 Once you receive TWO green lights from two different members, edit your original comment to say: "✅ UPDATED after receiving two green lights" ... Then you may add your direct link! Editing your original comment keeps your finished version at the top instead of buried underneath all the feedback. And, as always, give feedback before asking everyone to give it to you! We're still not dropping our stuff and speeding away around here. That'll earn you a flashing red light real quick. 😏🚨

Money flirts with you on payday. Winks. Buys you a drink. Makes you feel like "𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲".

Let’s review the tape, sweetie: 💔 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲. Payday hit and you were at Target before the bills were paid. 💔 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱, “𝗦𝗼... 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴?” No budget. No plan. Just vibes. 💔 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁. Business and personal money, sharing one account right out of the gate. 💔 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝘅 𝗮𝘁 𝟮 𝗮.𝗺. That credit card you swore you were done with? Yeah. You swiped. I know. I did ALL of these.
