10 Great Ways to Celebrate Thanksgiving with Your Family

Thanksgiving Traditions

Start a Thanksgiving Tradition with Your Kids

Yes, the highlights of Thanksgiving Day are the watching the parade (and the game) and eating turkey. But this special holiday isn’t just about the entertainment and the food. This year, start a new tradition that brings out the importance and symbolism of the holiday.

Begin by asking yourself what Thanksgiving means to you. Is it about faith? Family? Giving back to the community? Incorporate these ideals into your new tradition in a fun, creative way. Ask your nanny for advice — she can help you brainstorm new Thanksgiving customs.

And the concept of Thanksgiving isn’t always easy for little ones to grasp, so involve your kids and give them a taste of what Thanksgiving is really about.

How to Make Valentine’s Day Special for Your Family

By Kerrie McLoughlin

Growing up, I always looked forward to Valentine’s Day.  I loved making valentines for my friends at school and decorating a shoebox to collect them.  When I got home from school I could always count on chocolates from my mom and a small gift from my dad; cards came in the mail, too, from grandparents and aunts.  I was definitely made to feel special on Valentine’s Day.  I think everyone should get the chance to feel special on this sweet day full of love.  Check out the 14 traditions below that you can share with your kids and give some of them a try: you’ll definitely make someone’s day!
