I'm what you would call a "celebration mom". I LOVE to celebrate everything!! In addition to regular holidays and birthdays, I love to make my own traditions with my kids and celebrate the everyday things with them. We celebrate things like Brothers Day (made up by my oldest a few years back), violin recitals, piano…
