Two Grannies from Westchester County, New York are “Going Back to the Future” with their newly launched website, www.granniesgaloshes.com.  Looking to reinvent some simpler times when family and together were not a strange twosome, Grannies Lynda Karanikolas and Iris Fisher came up with  

www.granniesgaloshes.com. Mrs. Fisher, author, columnist and teacher and Ms. Karanikolas, a well known artist and muralist have been working together on children’s books for quite a few years.  Grannies’ Galoshes is their way of sharing the library of fun games, recipes, and activities that they have created for children and their families over the years. 

“Daily, we read about the serious problems that exist in today’s families. If a family just eats dinner together, it’s touted as something special. That simple family time is a rarity,” say the Grannies.  For Iris and Lynda the website is their way of presenting activities that will keep the family laughing and having great times together.  The website is designed in a way that both kids and their families can easily access an activity or recipe based on the season it is associated with. The website offers an endless amount of holiday cooking recipes, easy nature crafts, little kid projects and family fun.

Want to have a fossil treasure hunt? Invitations, handmade favors, games, and a roaring dino-saurus cake recipe are available. There’s lots more in the fall fossil section. Fall is only one fun filled season. Winter has easy holiday recipes, nature crafts, seasonal crafts and a section called, “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow.” Lynda and Iris bring this part of winter to families all over proving weather can be just a state of mind.    

The seasons are filled with stimulating activities, crafts, projects and recipes. Each can be done by the family. Some are just for teenagers. Some are to be done by younger brothers or sisters. They’re all fun, easy to do and don’t require exotic, hard to find ingredients.

The site is constantly being added to. The next season, winter, begins with Chanukah and then on to Christmas. No matter where you live, the grannies will have you throwing snowballs, pulling taffy and making maple snow candy.

 It will be a promising winter. Brrrrr-ing on the good times.
