The Art of Being a Grandmother…

The Art of Being a Grandmother…

The Happy Funky Family wouldn’t exist without our grandmothers.

Mam and Mamou have been two incredible women, two inspiring models and two great grandmothers. They have deeply rooted the values of the Family and forged intergenerational bonds that we share with YOU every day!

They were available and always motivated to play, discuss and exchange.

They were generous, literally and figuratively. We loved our subscriptions to educational magazines (like pif gadget!!!!), our good meals, our walks in places we chose, our excursions in the country listening to the scary stories of Pierres Bellemare, in short, memories that were all more moving than the others.

They were brave! Their generation experienced two wars, May ’68 and a changing status of women in society. They never complained. Yet they were not resigned, far from it, and they chose their fight carefully.

They were modern. They were interested in everything and especially in us and tried to understand our world to better accompany us.

Grandmothers other than our own have made their mark on people’s minds, in literature or cinema.

Bathilde Amédée: a sweet and loving grandmother. In the cult work “À la recherche du temps perdu”, Marcel Proust recounts the memories of an unnamed narrator, including those he has with his somewhat whimsical maternal grandmother to whom he devotes infinite love. His death will affect him deeply, and the passage in which it is told is one of the most moving of the novel. “À la recherche du temps perdu”, Marcel Proust, Quatro Gallimard.

If, like us, you have or have had the chance to have fantastic grandmothers, think about giving them a little gift on March 7th, for Grandmothers Day. Our little finger tells us that nothing can make them happier than a family portrait, a portrait of the children, grandchildren or even a touching portrait of their pet.

You will find inspiring examples on our happyfunkyfamilywebsite.
