Amazon Moms: Holiday Memories

I recently announced my collaboration with Amazon, where I’m now a Guest Contributor!  My holiday picks are below, but you can get the full read here. 

I always feel an immense amount of pressure to create holiday memories, but I also know I really want them for my family.  I used to dream as a little girl of having a big family with all these fabulous traditions – and everything was monogrammed!  I think the problem is I always bit off more than I can chew, trying to hand-blow glass Christmas ornaments and monogram them with individual pieces of color-coordinated glitter.  Okay, I exaggerate, but you get the picture! The trick is to start off small, tackle just one or two things a year, and build on the ones that seem the most fun.  At the end of the holidays, write down which traditions were your favorite and why, so you remember them for next year.  Before you know it, you’ll have holiday traditions and memories galore.
