About Me

Hi I’m Donne Davis. Ever since I became a grandma in 2003, I’ve been on a mission to connect with other grandmas and explore what it means to be a grandma today. We’re in a new era of grandmotherhood and we need to find creative ways to stay connected with our grandchildren and their parents.

That’s why I founded the GaGa Sisterhood. I wanted inspiration and reassurance from other grandmas that all the joys and challenges I was experiencing in my new role were “normal.”

Over the past eight years, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting hundreds of grandmas who share the same passion for their grandchildren as I do. They’ve inspired me with their creative energy and motivated me to delve deeper into understanding this fascinating time in our lives.

Besides writing this blog, I write a monthly newsletter called the GaGazine and a monthly newspaper column called The Go-To Grandma for Parenting on the Peninsula.

I’m also a contributor to The ART of Grandparenting, a funny, touching, informative collection of essays, stories, and tips by 20 grandparent authors. In my chapter, How to Become a Go-To Grandma, I’ve written seven strategies for developing lifelong meaningful relationships with our children and grandchildren.

My two granddaughters, who are my favorite playmates, call me “Baba.” Their lively imaginations constantly reignite the child in me and allow me to share their sense of wonder.

When I can’t play with them, I enjoy yoga, Zumba, hiking, journal writing, meditating, singing, and gathering family and friends together for celebrations.

So if you’re a grandma and need a little reassurance now and then,  join our sisterhood of multi-faceted women who are crazy-enthusiastic for our grandchildren.
