Making Dinnertime a Joy Part 1: What is Your Vision?
Episode Number:
063 
When you picture the perfect family dinner, do you see the Cleavers gathered around the table with June in her pearls and heels serving a hearty pot roast and home baked pie to a happy grateful family? That’s not what happens in my house, and probably not yours either. If you want to change dinnertime to a sacred time and bring your family closer together, you need a vision. Listen and be inspired to create a new possibility for your meal time…the kitchen truly is the heart of the home.
Challenge: Spend time talking with your partner about the vision you have for mealtimes in your home. Together enlist your family and children in this vision. Identify major problems your family is having to making this vision a reality, keeping the possibility of a stress free, enjoyable time to gather each evening and talk with those you love the most about their days and the things that are important to them.
