We see the magazine articles and TV specials all the time, telling us that family time together makes a difference in how our children grow up. The stories inspire us to make time for family time … but sometimes we don’t know how to do it or what to do with it! Here is a great place to spur one another on and share our family time ideas. Do you have a great meal time game you play? Do you have a weekly family tradition that gathers the family together? Let’s share and make our family time priority time and see generational change happen one family at a time.

We love to use conversation cookies at our family table. These conversation starters are printed on cardboard cookies and make for amusing table conversation. Now mind you … I have 3 boys and 1 girl, so the conversation starters can generate some “interesting” feedback! Somehow all questions seem to eventually end up on one of the following topics: bugs, squishy things, gross things, or dead things! Inevitably the giggling leads to a spilled beverage or a child falling from a chair and always it is a great time. We don’t use these conversation starters every night … but when the tales of the day are few and uneventful, conversation cookies get us talking! So what do you do with your family time? Tami
