January Book Club Pick: "The Memory Making Mom"

This book has been on my TBR list for quite awhile. I first heard about it at our local MOPS chapter.

Amazon’s description says it best:

What will your children remember of their childhood? Calling all moms who want to break out of monotony, distraction, and busyness to a life of making lasting memories with your kids and drawing your family closer to one another!

What’s the solution to gaining the balanced, meaningful life you desire with your family? Create traditions that bring joy and significance! Popular "Smartter Each Day" blogger and mom of three, Jessica Smartt explains why memory-making is the puzzle piece that today’s families are longing for.

As Jessica shares her ideas, traditions, and beautiful insights on parenting in this well-written resource guide, she highlights the tradition-gifts kids need most with 300+ unique traditions including:

• Food: memories that stick to your ribs

• Holidays: fall bucket lists, crooked Christmas trees, and lingering over Lent

• Spontaneity: going on adventures

• Faith: why you need the puzzle box

Memory-Making Mom is jam-packed with her own favorite childhood traditions, those she has started with her own children, traditions tied to the Christian faith, and additional ideas that you can take and tailor to suit your needs. Jessica also offers spiritual guidance and practical encouragement to modern parents to keep on adventuring—even when they are fighting distractions, are on a budget, and exhausted.

Come along with us this month as we read “Memory Making Mom” together. Access the first 30 pages here.
