Family Meals

    Growing up in a large family meant huge family dinners every night. It was a time to sit down, relax, and talk as we ate together.  Most of my favorite memories happened at our kitchen table during meals.

     In a world where we are on the go constantly and the world is at our fingertips, we sometimes lose touch with the simple things like eating a meal together as a family.  We are usually on our phones, iPads, or watching tv while eating.  Our challenge for today is to step back into a simpler time, and put our electronic devices away, and eat at least one family meal together each day for at least one week.  I can almost guarantee if you start this, you won't want to stop.

      As you sit down together, take time to really listen to one another.  Go around the table and ask each child a different question. Have fun with it!!!
