This was our first official year of commemorating Memorial Day with new family traditions. One of the many things I love about having my own little family is the new and fun traditions we can start. By instilling these traditions in our family I don’t only hope to create memories for my boys, but instill values in them. Let me share our Memorial Day traditions with you.
As a mother of two boys I am compelled to instill in them the love, respect and admiration for the men and women who serve this great country of ours. My older son is three and I believe he is old enough to start learning about the real reason we commemorate Memorial Day. However, I was not quite sure how I would do this so I called on the wisdom of friends. I’d like to share these ideas with you.
not a happy camper
We all have experienced our kids’ meltdowns. Kids can say the funniest things during these trying times. For me, it can be tough not to laugh at some of the things that comes out of my son’s mouth. Here are some of the rants from my boy. Sometimes, humor is the best way to get through the day.
At least once a week I head to the mall with my boys to have them release some energy (I highly recommend this). On this given day, Rockford had a little accident and mommy got a little MacGyver. Come see a tip you might have to use on your next trip to the mall.
It's not easy being green
A couple of months ago when my son was obsessed with Eric Carle’s book, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar“, he decided to act out his inner caterpillar during our family outing…not very clever.
