Traditions: Simply Capturing Your Traditions

When I wrote about 5 traditions for a stronger family, there was a nice amount of discussion that ensued. One of the comments was from Carol Rice, co-founder of Cherish Bound.

Carol commented that she had just created a new book about traditions as part of the Cherish Bound product suite. The book, Traditions: Simply Capturing Your Traditions, is a handy journal that offers you a place to record memories and memorabilia for 13 traditions.

Capturing Your Traditions

The book is organized with the intent to capture not only your traditions but the memories created as part of those traditions.

There are 13 blank journal pages waiting for you to record your traditions. The left side of the page is intended for special memories of your tradition. That could be anything from a photo of you carving pumpkins with your kids, a ticket stub from the annual play at school, or anything else that captures the memory of your special activity.

The right side of the page is where you have the opportunity to answer a few questions and reflect on the meaning of your tradition. There are a few questions to help get you started on your journal entry, including:

• Did things go as planned or did something unexpected happen?
• What was each person’s favorite part of the activity?
• What were some fun memories or thoughts shared during the experience?

Create An Annual Book Of Memories

This book is well suited to be used as an annual book of your special memories. By taking the time to record your traditions in words and pictures, you will have something to pass down through your family to remember forever.

As time passes by, you will cherish the ability to sit down and page through your old books to recall past memories and traditions. It might be fun to create a new tradition where you close each year’s journal of memories with a recap of the year and predictions for what the coming year will bring.
