About Me

Whether you are a physical grandmother or you have taken on the role of being a special mentor to young people, welcome to our community. We are so glad you’re here.

No matter what the age of your loved ones, the following poem is dedicated to you:

She comes by plane, she comes by car,
She uses a computer when she can’t go far.
She’s interesting and active,
Well read and lots of fun;
And although her world is busy
The grandkids are number one.

Grammas come in different sizes, shapes and colors, ways of dress.
Some Grammas let kids play and run and even make a mess.

A Gramma can be young or old, some travel and some cook.
Others like to exercise, or sit and read a book.

Ava, Memaw, or Granny, Grandmother or Grandma,
No matter what you call us, as long as it’s not Paw.

We’re SuperGrammas, yes we are, with hugs and lots of love
Because children need a hero so that they can rise above.

Our grandkids mean the world to us. We want them to be strong.
Able to cope with the cares of life and stand against the wrong.

So join us in our quest for good. It might be quite a war,
But Supergrammas won’t give up. Together we can soar!

We’re Supergrammas!

Hi there, I’m Carol Bremner and I’m a Supergramma.

There are many others like me and I’m on a mission to find them.

What is a Supergramma?  She is super courageous, super creative,  and super committed to do whatever she can to encourage and uplift her future generations.

Her weapons are tech, truth, and teamwork. Wisdom leads her and prayer encompasses all that she does.

This is my story:

When I was 45, I worked in a university library. We didn’t have computers then and I was quite happy at my job. Then one day the whole place was computerized.

I thought there was no way I could learn those machines at my age, so I transferred to the new daycare opening on campus. I spent a year there, taking care of the babies, but missed the library.

So I transferred back, determined to learn. I also started taking computer courses during the summer when my hours were cut.  And guess what happened?

I realized I loved using computers. I got so good at it, I began teaching other people. Now my goal is to  encourage other women, like you,  to overcome your fears of technology and use it as a bridge to share our superpowers with a world that needs our wisdom and experiences.

Part of being able to connect with our grandkids depends on a certain amount of computer knowledge, especially if they live a distance away. Today’s young people are a computer generation, no matter what their age. Knowing at least a little of their computer world also gives us more to talk to them about. Sometimes technology gets a bad rap, but I sure enjoy being able to text my grands and ask about their day.

I hope you find value in some of the ideas on the pages of this website and the free printables to enjoy for yourself or to share with your loved ones, whether they are near or a distance away. If I can help you in your journey, please let me know. Together we can help build a better future for those we love.
