31 days of Intentional Parenting: {Day 15} Family Traditions


Traditions that are unique to your family can be formal and serious, quirky and fun or anything in-between.  Here are a listing of some popular and sometimes very unique family traditions I've heard of throughout the years...


Sunday Night Family Dinners (without fail, no matter how old you are).

Birthday Cake for breakfast  & your favorite meal for dinner!


Pizza Night
Taco Night
Pasta Night
(Favorite food) Night


First day of school picture and special breakfast

Family Game night


Mom names the daughters and Dad names the sons in the family

Mom gives the first name and Dad gives the middle names in the family

Girls have their mother's first name as their middle name and boys have their father's first name as their middle name.

Family Cheer

Family wake-up song

Family recipes that are passed down (Grandma's famous  fudge)

I am trying to think of family traditions but we really don't have any other than pizza on Christmas Eve and then open presents (stockings are for Christmas morning).

With David's crazy schedule, routine and things seem to go out the window. It is only the last several years that we could even count on celebrating holidays on the actual holiday!

Oh wait, we do have a birthday tradition of it being family day that always starts off at Chuck E Cheese in the morning. No friends allowed, just mom, dad, and kids. :) Always a relaxing, memorable bday that gives me time to reflect! Parties are always for not-the-actual-bday.

I'm a proud Christian homeschooling mother of 5 and wife to a Road Warrior CEO. Four of our children came through the miracle of IVF and 1 through the miracle of adoption. Before I became a home educator I was a interior decorator, event planner, store owner and professional organizer! Now I get to use my past professional skills (and a few new ones) to the benefit of my family and our home.
