Making Memories

08/03/2017

Making Memories: this has become our family motto. After suffering two pregnancy losses in the span of a year, it really put things into perspective for our family. We had always been a family that enjoyed doing activities together, but after we lost the two babies and came to the decision that we would be a family of three we really made a point to make everything about making memories.

My daughter is now three so everything we do she thinks is the greatest thing. Some of the things we do are more extravagant and some are just about having time together and enjoying the small things in life. Below is a list of some of the things we have done to make family memories:

1. Go to a park and feed the ducks

2. Go to the zoo

3. Go Karts

4. Beach days

5. Seasonal fruit picking

6. Planting a vegetable garden

7. Going on icecream dates

8. Fly a kite

9. Family board game night

10. Movies in the backyard

11. Camping trips

12. Bowling

13. Roadtrip adventures

So as you can see not everything has to cost money. Its just about taking the time to be together as a family and make some memories. My daughter will often bring up one of our adventures and say that was a fun day we should do that again sometime, so I know that they are important memories to her too. My favourite part is at night I lay in her bed with her for a few minutes after we have read stories and we talk about our favourite thing that happened that day. Most of the time it’s the really simple things that she loved the most.
