Welcome 2016! Cheers to a new year, a clean slate, and wonderful memories to be made! This year I thought it would be a fun idea to make a Memories Jar that we can use for collecting memories over the year. You can put anything in there. A nice memory, a grateful feeling, a fun moment…anything! I cannot wait to fill our memories jar up and read all those special memories at the end of the year.
