In my home, family dinners are very important! After a busy day at work and school, it is key to get the kids and myself together without any devices so that we can share about the experiences we had during the day and connect as a family. I get the kids to help set the table and of course, CLEAN UP! The Family Dinner Project is a growing movement of food, fun and conversation about things that matter, offers a variety of resources, including dinner games, conversation starters and even fun ways to get kids involved with food prep.
