The Best Way to Make Lasting Family Memories ❤️

Last week a new parent asked me about how to make memories with family. I think I'm qualified to speak on this. The secret to making lasting family memories - It's all about shaping and nurturing those unique traditions. Every year, I pull out a plain white felt Christmas tree skirt I got from Michael's ages ago. And every year, without fail, my son picks a paint color, and we add his handprints to it. He's 15 now, practically taller than me, but he still does it! It's wild seeing all those growing handprints year after year. And he also still humors me with a Santa picture at the mall. Yeah, it's cheesy as heck now that he's a teenager, but as long as I'm buying lunch afterwards, he's totally down for it. Those pics are treasures! These little things, they're what build the real fabric of our family. What are your favorite family memories or traditions? Love to hear them ❤️🎄 #CoreMemory #FamilyTraditions #ChristmasTraditions #FamilyFun #Teenagers #Parenting #MakingMemories #FamilyLife #Traditions #ChildhoodMemories #Blessed
