I would love to re-blog this next week on walk.build.proclaim for a Meal and a Prayer day. I’m not sure how to re-blog…
If you wouldn’t mind sending me a copy of this that I could re-post with links back to your blog that would be aweseom!

When I was growing up (remember my age is currently 62)-dinner was the one meal where you had better be at that table or really sick in bed! It was never a silent meal-I was an only child and granted my parents did most of the talking–but I still remember those dinners fondly–

This is an awesome idea! the other day, my 6 year old daughter asked about plate techtonics, which brought me back to my school years. Imagine what she could come up with at the dinner table! I bet she’ll ask something like “what day do you want to bring me a new puppy?” Great post and thanks for keeping me focused on family values . . .

In reply to Amy. Love your website! Obviously I'm a big advocate for family dinner time. So glad you are helping families make them happen.

Hi Corrine, love this post about family dinners at your house. Wondering if we could repost it on our site as a guest blog. URL is www.thefamilydinnerproject.org.

That’s a lovely idea! My 1 year old isn’t up for much conversation at the moment, but I look forward to when he’s old enough to try this.

When I was younger we ate dinner together but now we all watch TV while eating. I’d eat with everyone if my husband would, but he never wanted to so we don’t. You have great ideas. I think maybe the fact that I homeschooled my kids never left us lacking in the conversation department! They’ve always been around me so we just talk all the time lol.

Great questions. I hope that when my kids get older we can all eat together, right now, we don’t

Great dinner table questions it is the best part of the day. Every one sits and just relaxes to eat and chat.

We have a hard time eating altogether. I wish that we did because then maybe we would have more of these conversations.
