This week we asked: What does honoring traditions look like?

(Read more about parenting philosophies on our resource page.)


Making the family shortbread recipe is a Christmas tradition in Shannon’s house,
which she has been working to adapt for their daughter’s wheat sensitivity.

Shannon blogs at Pineapples & Artichokes.


The time-honored tradition of the Thanksgiving Day Nap.
(Note how they sleep posed the same way,too!)

Jenn blogs at Monkey Butt Junction.


George, mesmerized by the candlelight, dons his kippah
for the first night of his first Hanukkah celebration.

Stefanie blogs at very, very fine.

Everyone in the family gets to open one present on Christmas Eve.
Mikko was very excited to get pajamas that matched his little brother’s.

Mikko and Alrik’s mama, Lauren, blogs at Hobo Mama.


Its a family tradition that all the babies love to sleep on Grandpa… except Spencer doesn’t like him.
Even traditions aren’t forced, just tried again from time to time.

Spencer’s mommy blogs at Momma Jorje.

Tell us: What does honoring traditions look like in your family?
