Customer Reviews

Traditions

I enjoyed reading this book. I like the way the writer has put some time and thought into researching mothers/daughters traditions. It is so important for women to carry on the traditions of their families. I highly recommend this book.

Keeping Traditions Alive

Joyce Marlow takes us on a wonderfully heartfelt journey through the world of mothers and daughters! Filled with delightful true stories and practical projects for starting your own family traditions/projects, this book helps you nuture your cherished relationships! Not to be missed!

Perfect gift for Mother's Day, and for yourself too!

Making Memories has so many great ideas and suggestions for making the mother-daughter relationship special. I bought this book to give to a friend for Mother's Day. After leafing through it, I had to buy another copy to keep for myself. I particularly like the section titled Heritage Skills --about imparting women's traditions through quilting, weaving, nature and wildcrafting. There's much more, though, to appeal to moms and daughters in Making Memories. The author, Joyce Marlow, has put her heart into this book, which is lovingly dedicated to her daughter. A book I know I'll treasure, year in and year out.
