Do you joke about aging into little old ladies with your best friends? I certainly do! My best female friendships are with a lovely bunch of accomplished women who stretch across the United States from New York to California.
Our physical distance means we don’t get to see each other as often as we’d like… but we love imagining a time when we will all live near one another. In my dreams we’re a bunch of retirees living along a stretch of beach one house right next to the other.
I hope we’ll be a cheeky bunch of old cronies who are still chasing our dreams.

Just Like Frankie and Grace
Have you seen Grace and Frankie? It’s a Netflix original series staring Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Sam Waterston, and Martin Sheen. The series is back with its third season.
The show tells the story of two 70-something women who are opposites but become close friends after their husbands announce they are in love.
I love the show because it celebrates strong women and dynamic female friendships instead of romance.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good love story, but I also know that women are multidimensional. We’re have more roles than mother and spouses… and we should celebrate these roles!
In the series Frankie and Grace deal with starting a new business, parenting adult children, following their dreams, and more. I love all the interesting story lines and humor.
Irreverent Female Friendships
To celebrate the third season of Grace and Frankie I’ve turned 4 of my favorite quotes from the series into free prinables. You can use them to make a card or poster to send to your BFF or simply share them in an email or Facebook post.

- I’ve learned to live with a very flexible definition of okay.
- Not a people-person are you?
- Okay, stand back, I’m about to lose my shit.
- I’m sorry, I’m not very good at sugar coating things.

Love these!! Both the quotes, as well as the cute prints! How did you make them?
PS – I’d watched the first few episodes of grace and frankie, but never got much further. it’s been probably a year since, and this just inspired me to go back and finish the rest of them!

Thanks, Jane! I use Adobe Photoshop to make all my free printables.

I adore Grace and Frankie! I had watched the first two seasons myself and decided to have my husband see if he enjoyed it before starting the third season. He loves it, too. I am rewatching with him until he catches up.
I love both Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin and think they are perfect in these roles. And I would take that house on the beach in a heartbeat!
Bren
I totally agree, Dee!
