The Misadventures Of Grandpa and Leo

It's more than an email. It's a movement to bring generations closer together. Because childhood is short ... but memories can last forever. We are inviting you to join our misadventures—whether you’re reading to a child, or just a child at heart. Our content is ideal for children aged 2 to 6.

You can almost hear the giggles, can't you?

Every issue begins with a spark - and yours starts right here.

The puddles are waiting. The pancakes are flying. And Biscuit has plans of his own.

Are you a grandparent, parent, or caregiver looking for:

  • Stories that actually sound like the children in your life?
  • Activities that work (and don't require a Pinterest degree)?
  • Ways to build memories that last longer than the mess?
  • Content for children aged 2-6 that YOU actually enjoy reading aloud?

You're in exactly the right place.

Each story comes with a little something extra — hands-on activities, the occasional recipe to bake up some laughter together, or a keepsake to create together. And every so often, a creative challenge appears to keep those imaginations blooming.

What is Grandpa & Leo's Misadventures?

Twice a month, we deliver brand-new stories about Grandpa and his grandson Leo—along with practical activities, conversation starters, and downloadable resources to help you create magical moments with the little ones in your life.

Every story features:

  • Grandpa (in his seventies, endlessly patient, frequently flour-covered)
  • Leo (age-universal, curious, full of ideas)
  • Biscuit (Leo's Australian Shepherd, always "helping")
  • Hedgehog (unexpected guest, occasional thief)

Why Grandparents Love This

"Finally—stories that feel like real children, not perfect ones! My grandson thinks Biscuit is hilarious."
— Margaret, grandmother of three
"The memory prompts helped me tell stories I hadn't thought about in years. My granddaughter now asks me to tell 'when you were little' stories every visit."
— Robert, first-time grandpa
"I don't have time to be crafty. These activities actually work for someone like me—and my sons don't know the difference!"
— Patricia, mother of twins

The stories are gentle, funny, and perfect for reading aloud to children aged 2-6. But here's the secret: they're really about YOUR relationship with your child or grandchild.

What's Coming

We're building something special:

  • A full Grandpa & Leo book (publishing Fall 2026)
  • A gorgeous illustrated calendar (featuring your favorite characters)
  • Grandpa & Leo merchandise (stuffed Biscuit, anyone?)
  • Activity books and resources to fill your time together with joy, not stress

But it all starts with the newsletter.
