  • A tradition in our family is that we cook each night together in order to spend as much time together as a family. That's how I grew up and that's how we are doing it with our 2 year old.

  • My family had so many traditions growing up, but the one that stands out the most is birthdays!! On our birthday, my dad would set up a scavenger hunt for our presents. Each present would have a rhyming riddle on it that would lead us to the next present!! My daughter is only 7 months old, but I can't WAIT to start that tradition with her!!!

  • a tradition that I would like to start with my family is having family night. My family never really spent time together so I think this would be amazing :)

  • A tradition I would like to start with my family would be Family Game Night

  • I am so excited for this giveaway! Our family tradition has always been going out to dinner and then to see a movie with the family on Christmas Eve.

  • We never really had traditions and I honestly thought I lost out. So I hope to have the tradition that once a year doing fun kid family vacations. I also though hope to make time daily at a certain time just sit my hold and I and talk about their lives.

  • The tradition in our family & this has been since I was little & I now do it with my family is, on Christmas Eve we all eat dinner together, then we get to open 1 gift from under the tree & it is always a pair of comfy pajamas & slippers, then we all load up into the truck & we drive around looking at Christmas lights & we go to this same house known as the candy cane house with Santa & eat canes & drive & look at the lights, then we go home, drink hot cocoa and go to bed and wait for Santa ;)

  • When I have children, I would like to have dinner every night and make it a place where we all get to chat about our day. Alot of people don't do this, I wanna make sure I do this with mine.

  • In my family, it is a tradition that my grandfather started that all the girls first cars are Ford Mustangs. The 2nd tradition is that the first born continues the Nurse line in our family. I am the 4th genertation nurse!

  • You know me :) We have been Trying for baby # 2 for 16 months now.

    Our tradition we carry on is to make Christmas cookies every christmas eve no matter what. We started it with Ryker last year when he was (2) Hopefully this year being 3 he will enjoy it more. :)

  • Well in my family we NEVER spent time together as a family,like game night or let you kids pick a movie or a book so you can spend that extra time with your family because that's the most important thing in the world. As of right now its just me and hubby and we make the time for just us especially because my hubby is a navy submariner so when he is gone that's it he is gone. TTC for #1 for 4 year,2 Angel Babies.

    Good Luck all!

    Just wanted to Thank you and Fairhavenhealth for a great giveaway.

  • I would like to keep my family close for the holidays. When we were young we used to look forward to the holidays ( thanksgiving, christmas etc). When my parents divorced everything changed. I hated the holidays, everyone would go their separate ways. Now that I have my own little family, I would love to get that back.

  • One tradition that I hope to keep going with my children is every Christmas Eve getting to open one gift, which was always pajamas, and then changing into them and driving around looking at Christmas lights! One I would like to start is having a family night once a week.

  • The family tradition I want to pass down is the magic of Christmas. Sitting under the tree at night reading Christmas stories.

  • I would love to start the tradition my family had when I was a kid. And that would be to have holiday parties like Halloween and Christmas Eve. When I was a kid my Mom had these amazing parties with our families. And it was just a great memory of mine. And it would be nice to have with mine. This is a amazing give away. It would help us out a lot when we ttc in 2013 for our last baby along with teaching me more about my body.

  • I grew up in a family that didn't value quality family time or the holidays. Let's just say it was very dysfunctional. I would like to my child(ren) to grow up in a home that actually has traditions. One night a week is family night, no friends just us playing, watching a movie or doing some sort of family based activity. One tradition we have started is dinner at the dinner table every night. It is very important to us to all be in one close area while sharing a meal :)

  • A tradition I would LOVE to start with the children I have not had... really trying to start a family but have some put backs been trying for 6 months now very frustrating process

  • A tradition that My husband and I want to pass down our children are putting up the christmas tree togetherr open one present on christmas eve and then wakr up christmas morning at 7 and open all the presents. And When new years starts we donate to kids in need. We each pick out one thing to donate and donate some used stuff. Oh, I cant wait for my 1st baby :)

  • My husband and I have always loved Halloween! With Halloween coming up so soon, we want our son to have the same love of all things to be seen and do on this night. He loves dressing up in costumes and he love going to the apple orchard to get his pumpkin. It's part of the fun. I would like to hope when he has his own family, that my son will do the same with his children.

  • My husband and I just got married June 16th 2011. He is in the Navy and we just moved to Texas. We want to start a valentines tradition. We plan on sending care packages to his family in the Philippians and to service members over seas.

  • a tradition that I would luv to start with our family would be to read the xmas story every year at christmas. That was not done at our home, and I luv the idea of reading the christmas story with our family sitting around drinking hot cocoa

  • A tradition I would like to continue when I have children is; we go to a spring "bennett Springs " every year for vacation and go camping. my grandfather has gone every year since he was a baby and he brought my dad and so on and so forth. Every new baby that comes into the family gets a "bennett baptism" where we dip their tootsies in the (really cold) spring water. some love it and some hate it but all of us in my family have been baptized even my grandfather

  • I love this question! I have a tradition of camping and taking family vacations passed down from my parents. Instead of having a party at home, for special occasions (a big one was my parents anniversary) we always went camping as a family, or took a short vacation somewhere. Now that I have two kidlets, I'd love to continue that tradition with them! Our anniversary is in July and we are already planning a big camping trip!

  • A tradition that I would like to start with my children that my family never did would be to have everyone in our family write down a memory from that year onto a small piece of paper and then stick it into a clear Christmas ball ornament. After a few years, our tree will be completely covered with memories

  • One tradition we are carrying down with our son and will be carrying down with our unborn baby is spending Christmas Eve with all the family, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. We all have a huge Christmas meal and exchange gifts after reading the Bible story of Jesus birth. My grandpa reads it every year to the kids before opening gifts to remind them what Chirstmas is really about. I have done it every year since I was born I'm sure and it is so special to us all.

  • A tradition that I have done every year with my boys is to bake a birthday cake for Jesus on Christmas eve for His birthday. Another thing we started doing for several years is send a shoebox with simple things such as socks, toothbrushes, toothpaste, toys, a pamphlet explaining the story of Jesus Christ in their language and a picture of the family who sent her the box toys and things to send off to orphans. They have enjoyed helping children through Operation Christmas Child Program.

  • I would love to continue the tradition of riding around to view christmas lights with my future children

  • The tradition I would love to start would be to have daily prayer as a family

  • A tradition I have started with my little family since our son was born in September 2008 is going to the Pumpkin Patch and spending an afternoon together and picking out our pumpkins right now we pick out 3 every year as it's my husband, son, and I but we hope to expand our family next year and this is a tradition I hope to continue in the years to come and hope my children also continue the tradition with their families<3

    Thanks for letting me share and giving us this opportunity!

  • We have a tradition that every october we pack food and put on a halloween costumes and take food donations to the food bank. We try and get enough donations to help our local food bank that has had a huge increase in need. THis next year we have planed a garden for them as well that way we can give fresh fruit and vegies too.

  • A new tradition we are starting for out family is around Christmas. We are going to have the "12 Days of Christmas." So that means that for 12 days around Christmas (doesn't necessarily have to be the 12 days leading up to Christmas) we will do something special. ie., go ice skating downtown, cut down our own Christmas tree, have a Christmas movie night, etc. We did it last year and it worked out really well and we're looking forward to doing it with our kids one day!

  • A tradition I would like to pass down to my children is that on every New Years Eve when we were growing up my parents would buy all kinds of treats and we would all stay up together and do the countdown watching the specials on television. That way we ended the year all together as a family and started the year all together as a family.

  • A tradition that we always had was all sleeping out in our living room on Christmas Eve with a radio station on that played Christmas music all night long. A tradition I would like to start with our first child is every fall picking out pumpkins and carving them together.

  • Looking forward to making a trip to the pumpkin patch to pick out two perfect pumpkins- one for carving for Halloween. The other to make homemade pumpkin puree for freezing until thanksgiving for perfect pumpkin pie delishness!

  • One of our favorite Halloween traditions is that we go buy hay bales and throw them in the back of the pick up truck and take all the neighborhood kids trick-or-treating on a hay ride every Halloween. We also like to have dinner TOGETHER as a family every night. ♥ Thanks for hosting this contest. It's a really great prize.

  • My family loves Halloween. Each year we head to a large pumpkin farm to pick out our pumpkins. Then we spend the night carving them and roasting pumpkin seeds.

  • one tradition i have and will pass down to my unborn baby is decorating the house and christmas tree while listening to fun christmas and after drinking hot coco and baking jesus a birthday cake we always sing happy birthday to jesus and on christmas eve we always open one present

  • The family tradition that I decided to continue with my daughter was the big christmas cookie bake of Santa cookies on christmas eve. We do this every year and last year when she was 3 she got to join us and really help for the frist time and it was so much fun. She just loves helping in the kitchen and I can see this being a fun activity for her and I to do every year together and I just cant wait to do it all agian this year.

  • One tradition my family has is going up north every year. We have a cabin that we go to. Now that I have my own child (and one on the way), we will continue the tradition as well as picking a new favorite place up north to visit. I can't wait until we go again next year and start making our own family memories!

  • A tradition that I always had as a child and that we are passing down to our children (well 2 traditions actually) would be having an advent calendar each year (with the windows that open and reveal a chocolate surprise each night until Christmas) and reading a The Night Before Christmas in our jammies before bed on Christmas Eve.

  • Two major traditions I'd like to pass on from my upbringing, is decorating the Christmas tree as a family. That is one of my most favorite traditions I had growing up. Also going to Disneyland every year is what my family started when I was age 9, so I would hope that in a few years I can start that tradition with my own family :)

  • One tradition I want to continue with my son (and hopefully more children) is watching the Thanksgiving day parade in a beanbag in front of the TV. I have a giant beanbag and I'm hoping to fit at least two more children on it with my and my hubby sometime in the future! Thanks for the chance to win!

  • A tradition I would love to do with our kids is decorating the house in Christmas, when I was a little girl my family all together change our house with the Christmas Spirit. Today we keep doing it with the nephews and nieces and pass the happiness to them. They are learning how important is having Jesus in our lifes and not matter what is happening with us this time is the Family time. I wish tha we as a couple can do with our babies. Thank you for this big opportunity! :) and baby dust to all!

  • A tradition that I would like to start is Reading a daily biblical devotion as a family!

  • The tradition we have always done and I would like to keep with my children is the christmas pickle. Every Christmas there was a pickle ornament that my mother would hide on the christmas tree. The first child to find it christmas morning got an extra present. This is a german tradition passed down from my fathers family and christmas just would not be the same without it.

  • It closes on my birthday.... I tried to leave a comment from my phone and I am not sure if it took, but the tradition I want to keep going is at christmas my whole family gets together (aunts cousins uncles neices nephews...etc) this was started by my husbands grandma and has been the only tradition they kept going since she passed away and i cannot wait to have my own baby that can share in the love and memories that you take away after one of our family christmas.

  • it's not really a tradition but i hope my kids keep doing it even after we are gone but we sing gospel music in the church

  • When I was younger my family and I always went camping, and especially over the 4th of July (my birthday weekend). If I were to start or continue a tradition, it would be to continue the camping tradition I had as a child growing up. Camping is so much fun, a home away from home per say when we go to my childhood campground. 

  • I would love to have one of these. Ive looked at them before but have not been able to purchase one yet. My husband and I have been TTC for 7 years now. A tradition I would like to start is for my husband and I and our children to start reading the Bilble together and going to Church. I want my children to know The Lord and be able to spread His Word.

  • A family tradition I want to pass to my children is to actually celebrate the holidays. Not just go through the motions or don't do anything at all. As weird as that sounds, that's the kind of family I come from and I want it to be different for my children. I want to dress up and have a nice table setting for meals and sing songs while decorating the tree, bake together, go caroling, say what we're thankful for, dress up together for Halloween, have a fancy dinner for Valentine's Day, etc.

  • Two traditions that I would like to start with my kids would be to take a yearly trip to the beach for fishing and also to volunteer with a community service program every year. I really hope to begin this very soon.

  • a tradition id like to start when i have kids is to go somewhere fun and relaxing every year.

  • My husbands side of the Family is in another country and their Christmas traditions are so beautiful so the tradition I want to start is spend the 24th here in the US with my family and then have my husband, our baby and I travel over on the 25th to visit his family for the holidays :)

  • The tradition I hope to start is to go caroling. It is something that is rarely done anymore and it makes people so happy to see children out singing Christmas Carols.

  • A tradition that we have in my large family, and that I *hope* my children contunue, is giving flowers to our mother on OUR birthdays. Let's face it, we wouldn't be here if not for them and they did all the hard work to get us here! Mom is always so pleased and that makes me happy!

  • A tradition that I would love to pass down to my children is our family's love of cooking and continuing our family recipe collection. My grandmother has been sending me recipes that date back from HER grandmother and earlier. I plan to pass these on to my children so that they can add their own recipes to it and pass it on down the line in the future. It keeps our family close and we can learn about the people who originally made the recipe. Thank you for the opportunity to win!

  • The tradition I would like to keep is going to our family lake house every year after thanksgiving. I think it is great to get away from tv and internet and just enjoy eachother's company.

  • Every year we go to the Nature Center to see the 100 year old turtle for the past 15 years we would like to bring a new little one to bring along with to see the turtle, it is so realxing there love it.

  • A tradition I would love to do with my child someday would be what my family did when I was little was on Christmas eve we would bake christmas shaped cookies and decorate them then we would curl up on couch and watch a christmas movie(usually was Rudolph and frosty snowman) then my mom would read the bible nativity story.

  • The tradition that I would like to carry out with my child is making Christmas cookies with my entire family on Christmas Eve each year before going to the Christmas Eve service at church.

  • A tradition I want to keep going is baby reindeer. Every year when I was little stuffed reindeer showed up the day after thanksgiving (the same ones every year) from then until Christmas morning they brought small gifts and candy for good behavior and delivered our Christmas wish list to santa.

  • A tradition for my future family is to read the Bible each night before bed.

  • We plan to start a Valentines Day tradition with our kids by putting heart-shaped balloons in the yard for them to find in the morning. This Valentine's Day a heart balloon mysteriously drifted into the yard, and my 2 yr. old daughter found it wrapped around a tree. Her face lit up when she saw it, and I knew at that moment that we would want to make this into a tradition.

  • We always decorated for Christmas as a family every year

  • One of my favorite traditions I would like to continue is a quilt that so far is only 3 generations old. Each child's Christening gown has a remnant taken from the back of the garment and has been added to a growing or living quilt created by my grandmother. Her and my grandfather's, their children, grandchildren and hopefully great grandchildren can continue to add peices.

  • A tradition my family practices every year that I would like to keep going with my future babies is for everyone in the family to get together on Christmas eve, and each person brings a dish and we all eat together and open up all the presents from each other while talking about memories of the past. This has always been a very special time for my family and I can't wait to have children so they can be a part of it!

  • I have been TTC for 10 years, our personal family tradition that I started was to give my daughter a "BunBun" each Easter. My daughter turned 18 this year and has chosen to keep this tradition and is passing it on to other family members until she decides to start a family of her own (she gave her new cousin her first Bunbun this last Easter). A BunBun is simply a soft cuddly stuffed rabbit. My daughter has each Bunbun ever rec'd.

  • a tradition that my family always did for preparing for christmas was decorate the tree while listening to christmas music and drinking hot cocoa and make a snowman then bake sugar cookies together and we always left carrots for the deer and threw special reindeer food with glitter to put out on the front lawn so they could see our house. i cant wait to start my own little family of my own but i have pcos and endometriosis so it will be a challenge love your vids though keep up the good work

  • A tradition I would like to continue with my children is a Christmas one. Every morning very early my mom wakes up and bakes Christmas bread and puts on Christmas music with special candles lit. Then to wake us up she rings sleigh bells and says Merry Christmas. It gives you that warm Christmas feeling and reminds you of Santa. I will pass this on with my family and babies.

  • A tradition I would like to keep with my future kids would be to spend Christmas morning with our family and bake cinnamon rolls - we always did that with my family when I was little :)

  • A tradition I would love to start with our kids is to go visit family in Mexico every summer we never get to see them enough so I would love for our children to see there heritage and to see how bless we are to live in the US.

  • When we have our children, a tradition I would like to pass down to them is the whole family getting together and cooking Thanksgiving dinner. I love how it gives a chance for everyone to catch up an grow closer together and have a stronger bond.

  • A tradition we continue from my family is on New Years. Before midnight the whole family goes oustide, then we open the back door (to let the old year out) and ask the first dark haired man to be seen to come through the front door carrying salt, coal and bread. This means that the following year everyone in the house will have enough to eat (bread), enough money (salt) and be warm enough (coal).

    A tradition from my husbands family is our annual family camping and quadding trip in May.

  • A tradition for christmas that my mom has always done that I have continued it putting the tree up after Thanksgiving. On Christmas eve i allow the kids to open one gift before bed and put their snacks out for Santa. Normally on christmas day I video them coming down and opening gifts. However, starting 2 christmas's ago and this will continue as long as we live where we are, we help deliver gifts to other families through a program called The Arctic League. then come home and do our christmas.

  • My husband and I are TTC our first child at ages 29 and 30. =) The traditions I would like to continue are hot cakes Christmas Eve morning, Christmas Eve turkey dinner with family and midnight mass. I also plan on having my children volunteer at local organizations throughout the holiday when they are old enough because it is really important for us to give back. On Christmas Day, the kids will open gifts with us and then would will spend time with our family. =)

  • A tradition I would love to keep going is vacations every year, around holidays families get together especially around Christmas time when we go caroling and visit the Children hospitals and pass out gifts to all the sick and needy children oh yea and a tradition my husband and I have started recently is family prayer night every night and once a week is discussion night where we all sit down and are able to say anything we need to tell someone in our home about our feelings

  • A tradition that I would like to pass down is the children getting their own christmas ball for the tree with their name on it and they get to decide where it goes, even if it doesn't match the tree it will go on.

  • One tradition that my family has done for years is on Christmas Eve the entire family gets together (aunts uncles cousins..etc) it's huge and we all sit in a circle and go around and say what we are thankful for. This tradition was started by my husbands grandma who passed away. But it's a time where people open up and say what blessings have come into their lives it a great feeling and you come out feeling closer together and loved and I want my future kids to feel the same way!

  • I LOVE LOVE LOVE getting ornaments for people who are at Thanksgiving dinner with me and using these little gifts as name tags/seating tags cutely placed on the table to let everyone know where to sit (not that it really matters where we sit as long as we are all together). Everyone loves this tradition I've started. And they have a new ornament to hang on the tree :o) PS we set up the tree after Thanksgiving dinner if not after black friday madness

  • I was so blessed as a kid to have a family who was BIG in celebrating holiday traditions. My husband was not so lucky! I would love to continue the traditions that he and I have started together of decorating our house on thanksgiving weekend...and making all sorts of yummy holiday treats the week leading up to Christmas to share with dear friends and family! I can't wait to have a little one to help with all of those things!

  • A extremely importnant tradition I would like to pass on to my child or children would be sitting around the table again as a family. Thats gotten away from so many families nowadays and I think its so importnant to just sit around the table at lunch or dinner and talk about your day. Even holidays, like Thanksgiving where you would go around to each individual person and they spoke of what they were thankful for. My opinion it makes for a stronger family and teaches your child/children values.

  • A tradition my husband and i started is the day he got to meet our little girl, He was in iraq at the time she was born and had to watch via skype. so every august 30, we celebrate it as "Our Family Day." because it was the first day we got to offically be a famiy of 3, now we having been ttc for baby number 2for about a year now, & cant wait for when god blesses us to be a family of 4 =)

  • A tradition I would like to continue you are all of our holiday traditions with family..ie spending Christmas day with the family opening gifts a big breakfast and then starting to cook for dinner. One i would like to start is baking cookies for santa and not putting gifts under the tree until my baby falls asleep also leaving some type of hint santa has been here like foot prints or something

  • My husband and I would like to have some traditions around Christmastime. Our son is due in November. We would like to have him pick out a real tree, every year, and no matter what he picks we will get it and bring it home. We would like to have him go shopping w/ us and pick out a toy to give away to a local charity or even to a friend less fortunate than him.

  • We are ttc our first child but one tradition I would like to keep going (that we did when I was little) when I have kids is to gather around on Christmas Eve and let them open one gift as well as watch all the Christmas movies and cartoons on tv and then get up on Christmas day and open all the gifts and have dinner. Usually ham with different sides :) However, we do celebrate other holidays but I must say Christmas is the most meaningful. It brings family closer and it's just a joyful time!

  • I would like to pass down the tradition of opening chrismas gifts on Christmas eve. And having Saturday family night sleep overs in the living room and watch movies an eat snacks was always sooo fun.

  • A tradition I would like to pass down is family day once a week!

  • There’s many many things i have in my mind that i so want to do, share, instill, encourage in my own children, I truly think about these things all the time,,,planning, hoping, longing for the time when i can….

    Camping trips, Baking in the kitchen together, Yummy Breakfasts, Going to the beach and building sand castles, Road trips, hiking and picnic lunches.

  • One tradition I'd like to continue with my future kids, is to read to them every night at bedtime. That used to be my absolute favorite part of the day when I was a child.

  • A tradition that I would like to do with my kids one day would be baking on saturdays. My mom used to always teach me something new to bake and would always let me mix and help frost cakes and I totally love it. I still to this day love getting in the kitchen and bake something. It almost calming to me. Another one would be going to the park to feed the ducks. It was always a treat when my mom and dad would take me out their with a loaf of bread to feed the ducks. I cant wait to have kids :)

  • Sunday night dinners.:) boring, I know. lol

  • When we are blessed with children I'd love to keep some of our family traditions and add some of our own through the years. I would love to decorate for Christmas right after thanksgiving like we did as kids. 4th of July vacations would be great to continue too!

  • I would like to pass down to my kids is taking the time out 2 remember those who have fought for our country. I am in the United States Air Force and last night we watched the memorials in remembering 9/11/01. I've done a tour in Iraq in suport of 9/11 and it's brought so much pride to my husband & myself to be able 2 say that we are fighting 4 our country. Although we would love 4 our son and other kids 2 go 2 college and not worry about joning the military i want them 2 know their history

  • A tradition that I would love to start with my children is going each year together to find the perfect real Christmas Tree and then decorating it together. Growing up, we always had a fake tree that I was never allowed to help with.

  • A tradition that I hope to keep going when I have kids is to take out all the christmas stuff on thanksgiving day and going pick out the tree!! To me when I was little that was the best part not the food!! lol

  • A Christmas tradition I would like to pass down is having Christmas with the Grandparents the Sunday before Christmas. This is something I have done forever and is something I hope to continue with my children :)

  • A tradition I would love to keep alive is decorating the Christmas tree alltogether ;)

  • My tradition is Sunday lunch with the family! I love that we can see each other so often and catch up on what has been going on during the week with everyone!

  • In our family, song is something learned from birth. There is a tradition to sing each baby in the family to sleep with a old Nordic folksong. I plan to do this as well when I have a baby. =)

  • a tradition that we have always done in my family is everyone goes to the pumpkin patch and takes family pics then we pick out our own pumpkins and then we go home and carve them altogether!

  • a tradition that i would like to use with our kids is that we take pictures of the babies with a sign of their age and date everyday for the first month and every month for the first year and then yearly on their birthday after that. It is really neat to see how they change over time.

  • I grew up in a less then ordinary family. Family isn't important to them so I have nothing from childhood to pass down to my babies. My husband and I are changing that for our babies. We do everything together or we do nothing at all (unless it is date night...whatever that is). We want to keep it that way and hopefully our babes will continue to do so. We LOVE to make memories and that is our new tradition!

  • This is so awesome!

    I tradition that I will carry on to me and my husbands future children is a musical one. When my mom was pregnant she and my dad picked out a song to sing to us on the day we were born. During the 9 months it was sung, and on the big birth day, it was sung and every night at bedtime as we grew up!

  • A tradition I will continue with my children: When my sister and I were little, my grandmother started a quilt for us. Every Christmas eve, we would each make a new square to the quilt and Mammy (our grandma) would help us sew it on. By the time we were 18, we had wonderful quilts made with love and memories.. A blanket I still sleep today. Now that my grandma has passed, this year I will be starting quilts with my son and step-son. <3

  • A tradition that I would like to continue when my husband and I have children is the night of Thanksgiving turning on the Christmas music and putting up the tree together.

  • A tradition I would like to continue with my kids is my grandparents used to take us to Rogers orchards to buy fresh apples or cider and we would feed the ducks while there.

  • I want to pass on my mothers name(my middle name) to my first daughter. It's been in the family for at least five generations and was only skipped once(my grandmother unfortunately). My fiancee gave the ok so that's the plan when we have children. Hopefully my daughter will pass it along to her daughter too.

  • A tradition that I would like to pass down from my childhood is from my Korean culture is on your birthday you are served seaweed soup .... sounds gross but it's really tasty and good for you!

  • I hope to keep holiday traditions going especially Christmas ones like picking out/decorating the tree, easter egg hunts, and summer family vacations. I have such wonderful memories from all of those as a child that I would love for my future children to have the same. :-)

  • Our traditions are endless but since we are away from family for a while we will start a nightly skype date tradition so family can see the kids and the baby bump to be!!

  • I would love to carry on the tradition that may or may have not been on purpose of using the daddys or mommys first name as the babies middle name in the name process.

  • A tradition that we have kept alive and hope that out kids will do the same is baking Christmas cookies together and having a decorating contest with all the cousins. We also visit the same pumpkin patch year after year to pick out out halloween jack-o-lanterns.

  • a tradition i would love to start with my family in the future is to try for every thanksgiving or christmas, to help the local church in delivering goods to those that are less fortunate than us, so in that way they can enjoy their holidays as well

  • What I stared was each year going over the birth, telling the story. showing pictures, watching the birth tape, and so on. Then I take a picture at the time she was born. So like if you had the baby at 2 pm. Each year take the picture at 2 pm on the baby's birthday. I hope our child passes it down,

  • Our favorite tradition is making christmas cookies with all the kiddos every christmas :)

  • Growing up we had amazing traditions . the number one family tradition was Christmas and Christmas eve.on Christmas eve we would all spend the entire night eating goodies and singing songs, all of my family would sleep in the same room that evening and when morning came we would all grab our stocking which were always by our feet. as we opened them we would share what we got, After that we would open gifts, take turns from youngest to oldest it takes us all day to open gifts.We continue it still

  • I plan to continue the tradition of buying a new ornament each year at Christmastime and baking different kinds of Christmas cookies with my kids :)

  • What a great give away I'm so excited! Our new tradition is a "family garden" is a wonderful way to teach so many valuable lesson to children will while enjoying a delicious yield :)

  • When we were little, my siblings and I (there are 5 of us) would line up at the bottom of the stairs on christmas morning... My parents used a sheet to cover the living room so we wouldnt be able to peak in... And each tell eachother something we are thankful for... or something we love about eachother. It kept us down to earth :)

  • Growing up I never had traditions...Everything was just the way it is, no questions asked...But when I do have children, I would love to have a big family reunion once or twice a year...Family to me is important & instilling values and passing down to my future children such as the importance of family ties will help them for the rest of their lives....

  • YAY! I have been wanting one of these..but they are soooo expensive!

    One of our family traditions is all sitting at the supper table and hold hands and bless our supper. It melts my heart to hear my kids pray... ( even if they are praying about the ketchup) LOL!

  • I have special days with my parents, one day will be father/daughter day or mother/daughter day where its just us two doing whatever we like. Id like to do that with my future children having our own special days where we can bond just us two.

  • a tradition i would like to start that has never been done for me is to have professional pictures tooken of my baby every month of her/his life for a whole year every single year to be able to compare and at christmas/new years time every year a collage of the pics will be made into postcards to send family and friends that are distant from us so they can feel as if they were their watching him/her grow with every year a different collage so they never feel left out. =)

  • Wow I would love this!!!

    One thing I love is Sunday dinners I can not wait to involve my children with them!! I feel they are such amazing bonding times :)

    Hook a gal up Luc!! ;)

  • My family tradition that I would love to pass on is something very fun and unique. On my dads side of the family for over 20 years every Christmas we draw or write something on the table cloth than my aunt cross-stitches it or knits (not sure) whatever you did. KEY word is whatever so if you messed up she will knit it. It's amazing to see my life on one table cloth and its an amazing tradition that I want my kids to do.

  • Every year when I was a kid we would go to my grandmas house on Christmas Eve. Once we got home my parents would always let us open one present from them. It "somehow" was also new PJs. That way when we came down stairs to open presents we had nice looking PJs on.

  • My tradition that my family has always done and I want to continue with my children is during the Easter holiday, my father would load all of the kids into the back of his truck and take us searching for the Easter bunny, while my mom and oldest sisters would stay behind and get out baskets out, and hide the eggs. It's on of my fondest childhood memories!

  • A tradition I want to continue with my own family is driving around and looking at Christmas lights on Chrstmas eve, coming home and opening 1 present (always pajamas), reading the Night Before Christmas and setting out milk and cookies for santa. We always did this when I was growing up and it's hands down, my favorite tradition

  • Some traditions that I want to carry on with our children is to buy them Christmas pj's to sleep in on the night of Christmas eve, I want to have them write a note to santa and set out cookies, and do the whole santa thing! Really make it magical for them like my mom and dad did for me! Thanks Lucy!

  • Every friday night is pizza night with family. We play a game or watch a movie after eating-it's a lot of fun:) We are TTCing in a few months and since I am new to temping the ovacue might be just what I need:)

  • A family tradition that I have already passed on to my daughter would be our middle names. My mom passed it to me, because she was the first to have a girl between her siblings. I was the first to have a girl between my siblings, so my daughter got it. When it comes time for my children to have children, whoever has the first girl will pass it on. Hope that makes sense, LOL. Thanks for the giveaway!

  • One of our many family traditions is to start decorating for christmas after Thanksgiving dinner. I did this as a child at my grandmas house. My daughter now 18months loved helping decorate the tree last christmas. We also give as much as we receive. We donate food, clothes and toys to families through out the year and holidays. We want our daughter and future children to know how important it is to give, love and never judge. We are pre TTCing so this would be wonderful to have. Thanks so much!

  • When I was growing up, I really enjoyed our family tradition of everyone getting together for Christmas. Having dinner and exchanging gifts with one another. Just being together. :0) Were just trying to conceive our first now. Having trouble but not giving up. Good luck to everyone!

  • My in-laws are Italian and I'm excited to have traditional Italian Christmas with the 7 fishes and the whole 9 yards! :-)

  • We want to pass on the tradition of family game night. I had it growing up and looked forward to it every week. It's a great way to spend time together and share what went on during the week.

    (I tried posting this earlier, but it didn't seem to work. Sorry if it duplicates!)

  • A tradition I can't wait to start with my little ones that was something we always did when I was growing up was to make gingerbread houses the week before Christmas!

    I live in California. I am 35.

  • We take the boys to a small Christmas-sy town during christmas They have St.Nick, the mice, the grinch, father time, and many others dressed up, people carrolling TONS and TONS of activities PLUS sledding and they LOVE it! We have been the last 3 years and plan on going for years to come!

  • My family tradition that my family has done since my mother was a kid is riding through all the neighborhoods in our city and looking at the lights I will pass this traditipn to my little one in hopes that he or she will pass it down to their kids!!! Thanks soo much

  • For the first day of school wether it be daycare or grade school we plan to take our son for ice cream afterwards :D

  • I would like to keep up our family traditions of deticating at least one hour a day to spending family time.We did this when i was growing up and so i want to do this with my kids.

  • growing up and still today, i always enjoy going to church on new year's eve. it was always a really good and refreshing start to my new year. me and my husband do it every year and i would definitely pass that tradition down to my children. thanks hun for hosting this giveaway.

  • Once we have kids, I'd like to start a tradition where every year at Christmas time, we'd pick a country and then practice their holiday traditions, which include meals. It's educational AND fun!

  • My tradition that I started is Family Game Night. Since we have three girls ages 5 and younger and I just have to have something fun for them to do at all times, even when they get home from school. All of my friends and family know that game night is Monday night and always know that I am paying attention to my family then and I'm not going to be answering my phone. My 5 year old has even commented to me that we should invite a little girl that is in her class so she can have fun with us too.

  • Every year my boyfriend and I go to whats called Bentleyville Its an amazing place they have free hot chocolate, apple cider, christmas cookies, smores, live christmas music Santa is there and he hands out free beanie hats for the kiddies! When we have Kids (if we are ever blessed with them) We want to take them there as a tradition! If you want to see how we celebrate the holidays up here in northern MN look at the website for this place AMAZING!!

  • This is simple and may be silly but I can't wait to give my kid/kids a new pair of pjs on Christmas Eve so they look fresh for Christmas morning. I have a ton of "tradition" type ideas but can't think of any. I guess preggo brain has already started. I'm 4w2d pregnant again after 6 miscarriages. I'd still love to win the fertility monitor because after so many losses, even when you're pg your skeptical that it'll work out. Thanks for offering a giveaway!! :)

  • I want to blow up balloons and put them in my son's room after he goes to bed the night before his birthday so that when he wakes up on the morning of his birthday his room is covered in balloons. It seems so simple, but the look on a child's face when they wake up and their room has transformed overnight is priceless. (my son is only 1 now) but I have seen pictures of this done for another child. Its a simple way to start off a great day and let a child know how special they are on their day!

  • One of my favorite traditions of when I was a kid that I do with my step babies and WILL continue with our future baby is "HIGH AND LOW" at dinner, this is a great way at dinner to have a meaningful convo and means no tech products at the table. just how was your day! :)

  • Not sure this is a tradition but we are homeschooling our 3 boys and I would love for them to homeschool their children some day I love homeschooling it is so rewarding. Also we are going to try to ttc and are hoping to try for some pink. Would love to have this.

  • A tradition that I would like to pass down to my future children is to watch 'The Santa Clause' every Christmas Eve! Me and my siblings enjoyed it so much and I hope that my children will as well! I hope me and my hubby will conceive soon! Thanks! xoxo

  • I want to continue our Christmas tradition of hot chocolate and watching Christmas movies on Christmas Eve.

  • There is a spanish song that was used with babies when I was growing up and my mothe rin law sang it to my baby. It helps your baby learn to wave hello to greet people. The song is called "La Linda Manito" I loved to teach it to my kids I have a video of me using it with my friend's daughter on my Youtube channel

  • currently we are trying to conceive our second child.

    I would love to continue the new year tradition because my hubby & I are both Japanese, and In Japan, New years is the biggest holiday!

    Family members get together and kids get spoiled by everyone!

  • I would like to pass down the tradition of making a big cookie Christmas tree for Christmas. I always loved doing it! Not only does it look cool (and big!), but we use family recipes for the cookies and frosting :)

  • I want to continue the tradition of getting together with family on Christmas Eve and having dinner. We did that the first 19 years of my life and then my grandfather passed away so for the past 7 years we haven't done anything. Now that I have my own daughter and hopefully a sibling soon I would like to start that back up. We also started last year of going to Bass Pro shops and getting her picture made with Santa, she was only 3 months at the time so she did well, Hopefully she will this year.

  • (continued comment lol) my husband and I pack a picnic and go to 'our spot' on the lake. I cook out and we both fish and have such a great time!! I really can't wait to share this with my children! =) thanks for the giveaway fairhavenhealth & Lucy!

  • Don't have any kids yet, but a tradition that I remember fondly growing up was having date nights with my dad! I want to make sure our future sons and daughters(if we're lucky enough to get both!) will have mommy/son and daddy/daughter date nights:)

  • I would love to continue the tradition of making reindeer food and spending the day before christmas together. I have such fond memories of doing that! I'd love to win the monitor. I'm onto month 4 TTC and starting to get frustrated!!! This would help so much!
