Memory-Making Mom

Building Traditions That Breathe Life into Your Home

De: Jessica Smartt

Narrado por: Jaimee Paul

The average parent has approximately 950 weeks with a child before he leaves home. If they have a seven-year-old, they have 400 weekends left. How can families maximize this dwindling time? They can’t eliminate the distractions of modern life. They can’t give their kids a pill to keep them two forever. In fact, no amount of praying or repenting will give them the meaningful family they desire. What’s the solution? Create regular traditions that bring joy, significance, and memories to family life.

Popular blogger and mom of three, Jessica Smartt explains why memory-making is the puzzle piece that today’s families are longing for. She highlights 10 tradition-gifts kids need most and offers practical encouragement to modern parents to keep on adventuring - even when they are fighting distractions, are budget-pressed, and exhausted.

A rich resource of 200-plus unique traditions and beloved family recipes available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Good new ideas and encouragement for joy

Good book to read for any parent or a married person. It's easy to live life without intentionally making traditions and family celebrations, so this was a good start to understand it's value!

Fun and encouraging read!

I have wanted to read this book for the past couple of years and I finally did! It had great ideas and helped encourage me as a SAHM but would be encouraging even if I worked out side of the home.

Great Read

The Value of Memory Making

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found myself inspired to embrace my particular season of life as a busy mom by intentionally creating special memories with my children. The message was poignant but not preachy… very practical and realistic for all ages of children, budgets, and bandwidths. I gobbled up the book in two days’ time and went out and bought a family celebrations calendar to map out our upcoming year. As a mom, I am realizing the value of memory making as a practice within my family, purposefully seeking out opportunities to cherish and celebrate times together. Highly recommend!

Excellent 💝 I absolutely loved this book 🥰

A beautiful gift for me as a mom and my Indian-Colombian family of 3. I cherished every moment of listening it and will share it with my husband too. Absolutely recommended for all families even if you come from a different religion and culture like us. All the activities suggested are so useful and so beautifully memorable to make ordinary moments extra special.

Brought me to tears

Jessica approaches traditions and making memories with your family in a humble and encouraging tone. She gives practical ideas and helps readers/listeners get to the heart of why these matter so much! Yes, it is geared towards Christians but there is still so much goodness and wisdom that even those who are not Jesus followers can still get something great out of this book. Thank you Jessica. I will continue to listen and read this book over and over.

Must Read!

If you're a mom who thrives on making moments with your kids, this book has so many ideas!! I enjoyed the whole thing!!
