It's That Time of Year Again...

By: Amy Weinberg


Back To School.

Sigh.

Now depending on your age, you’re either feeling one of two emotions; pure sadness or pure joy. (I’ll let you figure out which age goes with which emotion). 

Regardless of the emotion you're feeling right now, we have the perfect treat for you.

Wanna make sweet impression in school? 

Coffee cake.

Stressed about moving into college for the first time? 

Coffee cake.

Need to take your mind off (or celebrate. No judgements) your kid going away to school? 

Coffee cake.

We’re sending this one back to grad-school with a smile on her face

Not only is coffee cake the perfect anytime snack, but My Grandma's has got the tastiest deal for the kids in college.

A lot of you parents out there like to send your kid a care package every now and then. If nothing else, it’s an excuse to get them on the phone for a few minutes (it's not that we don't miss you guys, we just always forget to call!). Me? I just picked out of my friends' packages. 

Whether you normally send your college kid a snack a couple times a year, or would do anything for a little extra communication (it's not bribary if everyone comes out on top...right?) we have the deal for you! 

Let us take care of those packages for the year so you don’t even have to think twice about it. 

Choose from any of our 4 care packages and let us send your child the sweetest gift 6 times a year. We know this can be a hard time, especially for parents. Let us send out your gifts while you focus on the fun stuff!

Order online or give us a call to show your little one how much you care! 

Lemon Poppy On The Road in Music City

by Maggie Kelleher

Today I am writing from Nashville!

For Spring Break this year some friends and I decided to take the few days we had off from school and work to drive a few hours down to Nashville and spend a few days in Music City! We have spent our first few days at the Opry, shopping, and at the Country Music Hall of Fame. And now that we've got the country music history out of the way, we are on to explore the sites and play some charades!

Why am I telling you this? Because we brought along some cake, of course! Lemon Poppy Coffee Cake! And we spent some time enjoying it along with some spring raspberries and quirky Nashville-esque decor and souvenirs.

Autumn Adventures- Halloween Scare Package

by Maggie Kelleher

Today I had a little free time and a small task to do.

The other day I found a product that I knew would be the perfect gift for my little sister. Just another one of my Fall Favorites!

A little about my sister.. my freshman year, I bought her ninja cookie cutters for her birthday, and she sent me a care package of home-made ninja-bread cookies. Well now it's her freshmen year, and I have found the perfect follow up gift... zombie cookie cutters! I just had to send them, and instead of just a box in a box, a full care package was in order!

Back to the point, today I had the task of sending my sister the Halloween fun I bought her, but I had a bit of free time, so I decided to decorate the box and give her a whole Halloween treat!

Students Tell All- Care Package Confidential

by Maggie Kelleher

We know no week is complete without some words from My Grandma's, so we are here to feed your coffee cake needs. (But seriously! We are giving away a free cake that can actually feed you!)

Today we wanted to talk about care packages again, but in a bit of a different way. As Autumn has slipped upon us schools have been reopening all over the world. You might even say that this year's college freshmen are starting to get the hang of college!

As they do, they are realizing the differences between college and home and starting to crave a few things. Care packages are often the best way to fill those cravings, and so instead of just telling you what I think your students might want, I am going to let them tell you themselves!

I asked a few of my (and My Grandma's) freshmen friends to tell you what they would want to find in their ideal care package while eating My Grandma's New England Blueberry Coffee Cake. Enjoy!

College Is Cake- How To Help Your College Student Thrive This Year

by Maggie Kelleher

As August is getting underway, we have been thinking of ways to stay connected with your friends/children/grandchildren/siblings who are off to college this year, because we think keeping that family connection is such an important factor in helping your college student thrive at school.

Many of us know that college can be a busy and sometimes difficult time. Believe me, I do! As a freshman RA (Resident Advisor) I have definitely encountered my fair share of homesickness and just plain stress, from freshman to seniors. 

College Is Cake- The Ultimate College Care Package

by Maggie Kelleher

Do you have any friends or family heading off to school soon? Almost all of us know a little one who will soon be entering a classroom, but what about those getting ready to head to the hallowed halls of college?

As I and many others are heading back to school soon, I thought it might be a good time to look into how to stay connected with your college student and support them from afar.
