How to Make Dinner More Fun
The dinner table is an ideal gathering place to connect with your family and create lasting memories. But with all of the tasks and responsibilities we have as parents, it is easy to fall into a “dinner-time rut” and lose some of that excitement and joy. Not long ago, my sister-in-law and I spent the evening brainstorming ways we can add a little more fun to our dinner-time routines- activities we could do at the table, games, themed dinners, fun foods to eat etc. When we had a pretty extensive list of ideas, so we hit the ground running and tried them out on our individual families. And guess what.......... it was a stinkin' BLAST!!!!!!! My kids for sure thought I was the coolest mom ever.

Well Hello again everyone! I'm happy to share with you all once again- I LOVE being a contributor here! I know that the next few months will be FILLED with holidays, and we can't possibly touch on them all. So I'm focusing on the closest ones. I've created a Free Printable Ultimate Student Planner for the college bound graduates, and these for the moms. I've tried to write this paragraph about 15 times. I just can't put my feelings about my mom down in words. Everything I write sounds so trite and overdone. "She supported me, raised me, taught me..."
