While catching up on current events today, I found this blog series about the importance of eating together as a family. Eating as a family is something we strive for at our home. It is rare when we don't sit down together for dinner and then it's usually because either my husband or I (not both) are working that evening. I know we have a challenging (brief) period coming up when I will have to put more effort into coordinating our family dinners, but I know it's coming and I'm already putting mental notes together - thinking, as I cook, about what comes together easily and what "picnics" well. Robin Shreeves does an excellent job in her series of addressing the obstacles of the family dinner, how to overcome those obstacles, and why eating as a family is important. I hope the information she provides is helpful to those of you who would like to bring your families to the dinner table more and encouraging for those of you who do, but constantly struggle with the obstacles.
