When you’re a parent, you get to play a part in countless special memories that are unlike any others. That said, it can be easy to wonder, “Am I doing enough for my kids?” With a baby of her own, Bryann Martines has been asking herself that a lot lately. She wants to do everything she can to make her daughter’s childhood “magical.” This is something Bryann’s own parents were able to do for her.
