Family Is The Key To Our Hearts And Our Happiness

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 9, 2004 -- The truth is, it is easier than we think to create a strong, loving family life! Traditions are the ties that bind our family together. We often believe that traditions need to be elaborate, time consuming or expensive to be worthwhile. That is simply not the case! It is really the "little things that are the big things".

When you ask yourself what you remember most fondly from childhood, the answer is most probably something basic and wonderful. Be it a special holiday meal, fishing trips with dad, or just sitting around the dinner table with your family on "pizza night". What makes these simple things memorable is repetition. What makes them even more memorable are the stories, pictures and other memorabilia depicting us enjoying these special times.

Lorle campos, Founder of Once Upon A Family has created an entire line of products and simple tradition ideas around this concept. Each and every product in the Once Upon A Family line has a tradition idea behind it and is designed to be completed in 10 minutes or less per year! Something as effortless as taking one special photo of your child each year on their birthday and placing it in the Birthday Book does something wonderful for your family. It creates a powerful keepsake depicting your child every single year of their life, and also begins the simple family tradition of taking "the special birthday photo".

Spend just 10 minutes each year writing a letter to your child and save it in the Dear Sweet Child Letter Box for safekeeping. By the time your child is grown, you will have accumulated 21+ letters telling them just how much they are treasured each year of their life. Twenty-one days before a special event (their wedding or college graduation, perhaps) begin mailing the letters, one each day. Send the final letter enclosed in the exquisite keepsake box. This will be one of the most valuable gifts your child ever receives. Don't be surprised if they carry on this sentimental tradition for your grandchildren someday!



These small traditions identify each of us as a family unit. "This is who we are and these are the things we do in our family". After all, the best way to instill "family values" in our children is to first identify who we are as a family.

Remember, it doesn't matter "when" we begin a tradition, or creation of a keepsake. The point is to begin. So stop worrying that you can't find the time to rummage through those pictures hidden away in that box in your closet. Start fresh with the last roll of film you developed. In years to come, it won't matter that every last photo of Uncle Ned barbecuing hot dogs in Bermuda shorts, black socks and sandals isn't included (maybe that is a blessing!). What will matter is that you began today to create something powerful and wonderful for your family. Once Upon A Family can help you do just that in a way that is simple, quick and realistic!
