A Year Of Memories

This has been waiting to be posted since January.  I LOVE this idea so it's worth sharing and starting now if you want.  The year isn't even half way over yet!


Last year around Christmas I read in a magazine about ways to ring in the new year with your family. One fun idea was to get a jar and have each person in your family write down fun things throughout the year and then on New Years Eve or Day you can sit together as a family and read all of the fun memories of the last year. I thought that this was a great way to ring in the New Year! I set up a jar and we have been doing it! Halfway through the year and the jar is filling up :)
Of course it's only me and john writing the memories (ok I'm sure mostly me) but I'm still excited to read them.
Even if you don't have an extra jar you could use a paper bag, envelope or bowl.

Fast forward to New Years Eve...We opened the jar and read all of the memories we had written down. I loved this!  This is by far my new favorite family tradition!
