I hear it all the time: "I'm spending money on things I cant afford, just so I can give my kids memories!"

That's not helping anyone, especially not your kids.

In my own life, the moments and rituals that meant the most, gave me comfort and truly shaped me, were free. It's cliche but true.

The things that really matter aren't necessarily glamorous and expensive, but they do make you feel connected. It's important to teach our kids that. 

What memories will YOU make with your kids that they will remember fondly?
