It seems like everyone I know is either getting married or starting a family this year. I love Together: Creating Family Traditions. It's the perfect bridal shower / baby shower gift, as it covers everything from creative ideas to recipes to family journaling. (The recipes for mom's blueberry muffins and Grandmother Borland's cookies are yummy!) The pictures are vivid and beautiful, the prose is thought-provoking and tenderly written, and the little touches, like the satin ribbon bookmark, are just lovely. I bought multiple copies to give as gifts, and have received a bevy of ecstatic thank-you notes from brides-to-be and mothers-to-be.

A delightful book, it brought back memories of my own life as a child, and made me wish I had shared more time "together" with my young nieces then I too, could have shared in a cherry pie eating contest. I would have been right in there, face first along with them! Simply precious.

What a great find...I was given this book as a gift and I can't wait to try these projects and recipes with my nieces and nephews. Not only is this filled with beautiful pictures and a joy to look through, but when reading it, I couldn't help but recall memories from my own childhood. I especially like the fact that the projects are for children of all ages, this book is for everyone! I highly recommend "Together"...it makes a wonderful gift, and I know that first hand. This book definitely stands out from any others I have come across!

Collaboratively compiled and written by Rondi Hillstrom Davis and Janell Sewall Oakes, Together: Creating Family Traditions is a 131-page compilation of fun activities for adults and kids to undertake together, all splendidly illustrated with full color photography. Holiday themes are spotlighted in this delightful guide to making homemade paper, granola, gingerbread man garlands, and so much more. Enthusiastically recommended for parents seeking to bond with their children, Together: Creating Family Traditions is a simply wonderful, thoroughly "user friendly" activities how-to book which the entire family can enjoy -- from generation to generation.

There are many reasons for getting a copy of this book, but let me start with the top 2 (in my opinion). #1 - if your family is important to you, and sharing quality time with them is also important, this book will show you precisely how to create wonderful memories, that will last a lifetime. #2 - if you are wondering what to get as that "perfect gift", Together: Creating Family Traditions is it! This is a quality book that surpassed my expectations in so many ways. It's gorgeous, luxurious and filled with phenomenal family-sharing ideas. Grab a copy for yourself, and get a few more copies as gifts for your friends and other family members. You will cherish this masterpiece and so will everyone you give a copy to.
