I have recently been reading the book "Three Steps to a Strong Family" (found here). And it emphasizes the need for tradition in families. Now, Jordan and I dreamed of fun traditions we would have as a family before we even had kids, so when I read about this I was super excited to sit down with Jordan and brainstorm more traditions. Daily, weekly, and ones for special occasions....and one tradition I have wanted to do for years we finally started today!
I LOVE fall and Halloween so we decided to celebrate the first day of fall. We made scones, drank hot cocoa, watched some Ichabod and cuddled together...Someday when we own a house I want to add a crackling fire to that list ;). After a bit of a rough day for me it livened up my spirits and made me feel extra grateful for my little family and that any time I want to celebrate ANYTHING I have the power to...and I love that!
I desperately hope that these little traditions we are making for our kids will do the same for them, that perhaps after a hard day they can end it feeling loved.
