About Us

The GaGa Sisterhood is a social network for enthusiastic, creative, caring women who indulge in the joy of being grandmothers.

The Mission of the GaGa Sisterhood

We’ve been meeting since 2003 when I witnessed the birth of my first grandchild and went completely gaga! After I came back down to earth and talked to other grandmas, I noticed they were just as crazy for their grandchildren. I had lots of questions about my new role and wanted to hear what other grandmas were experiencing. I decided to start the GaGa Sisterhood for grandmas like myself who are gaga for their grandchildren.

I invited all the grandmas I knew to my house to start a conversation about what it means to be a grandma today. On December 7, 2003 fifteen grandmas sat in a circle in my living room. We told stories about what our grandchildren call us and how we got those names, the great lengths we go to see them, how we juggle all our roles to make time for them, and most importantly, how we get along with their parents. There was so much to share and not enough time to dive into it. We all decided to continue the conversation and we’ve been going strong for seven years. I realized the role of “grandma” was complicated and that grandmas together could figure it out better than one grandma all by herself.

Our Sisterhood has grown to a camaraderie of friends who can laugh about the joys and challenges of being a grandma. We meet every other month in members’ homes throughout the San Francisco Peninsula and South Bay. We’ve discussed a wide range of topics over the years that will inspire us to enrich our family life.
