Let’s talk about making memories, mama. The beautiful thing is that we’re doing it everyday without much extra effort—when we stop to read books together, as we sit around during dinner and talk about our days, and even during the messier moments (ahem, that diaper blowout). The main thing to remember is that we don’t need stuff to make memories, just time, patience and a whole lot of love. Think about what you want them to remember, mama, and focus on that.
