I think food in some ways is the least important part. For my daughter and I (there are only the two of us) we have every dinner at the table apart from say Saturday nights where we watch a movie and eat pizza. Its an ingrained habit now and I think I know a lot more about her than if we'd approached it any other way.bachelormumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403884662501199270.post-32833445872910640032013-04-12T22:40:18.183+10:002013-04-12T22:40:18.183+10:00we try to do family dinners during the week and is...we try to do family dinners during the week and is happening even more so as I am currently not working.

Family dinners ...I am with you one hundred percent! Family dinners were a very important aspect of my upbringing and it's a tradition that we intend to carry on with our kiddos now. Such a perfect time to talk, to connect, to just BE together! You are right in that it's not always relaxing at this stage, but it's laying the groundwork of family togetherness!Janelle Allenhttp://everyday-imperfections.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
