Nice Book to Use Over the Years

This book has some really nice, simple, and thoughtful ideas of how to "make memories" with your children. They range from making birthday flags for every family member to considerate things that you might do for a sick neighbor. Although I think it would be great if they added real pictures to exemplify various craft projects and recipes, they have some very useful ideas. One of my favorites is the "Red Birthday Cake" recipe under the birthday section. This cake is DELICIOUS!!! My husband, who doesn't get super excited about sweets, really liked it, too! That says something in my books. :) All in all, it's a nice book to have, but it does not contain very useful pictures (rather it has simple sketches).

Great Brainstorming Tool for Young Families

I'm not a big Gaither fan but when my kids were little I read this book and got all kinds of good ideas. For example, we interviewed our kids on tape every birthday. Now that they are teenagers, these tapes are a real treasure. I highly recommend this book for young families who want to start some cherished family traditions.

memories that last a lifetime

This book helped me make family memories that will last a lifetime. They give practical suggestions you can use and build upon. They include some of their personal testimony and share how they built memories with their families.
