April: Making Memories

04/01/2011 by Heidi

Several months ago I mentioned that my mom gave me a 1993 issue of Shining Star magazine. Included in this issue is an excerpt from Jody Capehart’s book – Cherishing and Challenging Your Children. The article called “Making Meaningful Memories”, contains practical tips to create family traditions and memories throughout the year. Each month, I will be featuring suggestions from this article and Ms. Capehart’s book.

April:

1. Have fun on April Fool’s Day.
2. Celebrate Arbor Day by planting a tree. {If you happen to live close to Nebraska City, Nebraska, they have wonderful museums, outdoor exhibits, and other family activities to visit. The Arbor Day Foundation was founded in Nebraska City.}

And here are a few of my own:
3. Celebrate God’s greatest gift – His Son – through Easter Activities. Many ideas are listed on the ABCJLM website.
4. Take a walk in the rain with umbrellas.
5. Plant a garden or some flowers.
