Holiday Traditions Don’t Have to be Big to be Memorable

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfyoD...

Holiday traditions don’t have to be big to be memorable. The moments kids carry into adulthood are usually small: frozen yogurt for dinner, a note on the mirror, the one kind of cookie you make every December. What kids (and moms) really want are ordinary moments together.

We all want to make lasting memories with our kids, especially at this time of year

Quotes by Sarah Mackenzie (?)

“If you want a child to know the truth, tell him the truth. If you want a child to love the truth, tell him a story.”
― Sarah Mackenzie, The Read-Aloud Family: Making Meaningful and Lasting Connections with Your Kids

“It is so exhausting- sometimes even demoralizing- to realize that our work in raising up and teaching our children is never really done. But we must remember that we were never intended to finish it.”
― Sarah Mackenzie, Teaching from Rest: A Homeschooler's Guide to Unshakable Peace

“It doesn't really matter if we have the most beautiful, carefully thought-out plan if there aren't enough hours in the day to get to it. Look, if God expected you to get 36 hours worth of work done in a day, he would have given you 36 hours to do it. If you have more to do than time to do it in, the simple fact is this: some of what you are doing isn't on His agenda for you.”
― Sarah Mackenzie, Teaching from Rest: A Homeschooler's Guide to Unshakable Peace
