Family! It's whats for dinner
- What does your family dinner look like?
- Do you eat at the table together?
- Do you cook together?
Until a week ago we ate every dinner in the great room on TV trays watching TV with the kids and many night we are not all together. 3 nights away my husband and son have soccer together, my daughter has baton once a week and then there is me who many nights would have a lap top working/Blogging and dinner at the same time.
Recently my husband and I decided to make sure the dining room table was always cleaned off. So I sold the desk sitting in my dining room (not mine HaHa) and re organized the toys and such that were sharing the dining room. The table well thats another story that is where I coupon and stack mail and just a general catch all. I always have it decorated for the current holiday but not that you can really see the decorations. HaHa
We did this for 1 week. Our goal is to sit at the table 3 times a week. Every Mon & Wed for sure and then 1 night during the weekend. I can not tell you how amazed at the transformation of my family this week.
Our 3yr old loves it and after 1 night of going around the table now wants to start every meal with Tell me about your day or I wanna talk about my day. We get to hear about their day and it is also an open forum for our older kids to discuss anything or what bothered them even if it is Mom and Dad. They get a Free pass to ask something and if it is bad or not acceptable we let them know and they are not allowed to say it again.
Our daughter sets the table and our 13 and 3 year old clear it off. Today we found the butter in the produce drawer of the Fridge...guess we need to start looking at his level now since he is a big helper.
Today will start a 30 day challenge for everyone. Can you commit to eating at the dinner table with your family for 30 days? I encourage you to share your experience and meals. You will see during the week a Weekly Recipe for a quick meal and more.
One lucky fan will win an exciting prize at the end of the challenge.
