3. Keeping baby clothes and mementos:

Last year, Joanna created keepsakes for her children. She made memory boxes for each child in clear fabric bins which were filled with their baby items and a handwritten letter.

4. Honoring the kids in their businesses:

Chip and Joanna have already found ways to include their children in their home improvement empire. Their new Magnolia Table restaurant sees visitors finding special menu items like ‘Ella's Dipping Donuts’ and ‘Emmie's Grilled Cheese.’

Joanna's paint line with Kilz also features four hues named, ‘Ella Rose,’ ‘Emmie's Room,’ ‘Duke Gray,’ and ‘Sir Drake.’ It’s inevitable that one will be created for baby Crew too.

5. Baking biscuits on the weekends:

The Gaines family tends to stay in and enjoy homemade biscuits on Saturdays and Sundays. This tradition came about as Joanna was trying to perfect her recipe for her Magnolia Table cookbook.

At the time, she had needed a group of regular taste testers to try the latest batch. It quickly turned into a family project, and then became a weekend thing.
