I want my kids to live their life with great family memories that they can pass on to their children.

If you're lucky enough to still have grandparents, visit them, cherish them and celebrate them while you can.

It's so important to engage your kids to create rituals and moments that they will always remember.

There are some family traditions I don't want my children to carry on.

I had very busy parents, but I really appreciated having a set of traditions during my own childhood, like consistently celebrating holidays at the same place.

Family holidays and weekends are really brightly colored memories, full of my mother and father, rather than our nannies and au pairs.

Keep your families close together, and love and honor your children.

Growing up with my family gave me some of my best memories. I'd like to have a family of my own - slip away for a bit and do nothing but spend those early years with my children.

I think it's important to recall... what you remember your grandmother making, where you're from and the foods you enjoyed as a child yourself, and pass that information off to your kids.

A proper family diary with everyone's events and parties in it really helps organise the household.
