Growing up, my memory of enjoying regular family dinners fades around middle school - probably because both my brother and I were involved in numerous sports/activities, and my mom was just trying to keep her head above water. But for some strange reason, I knew that when my husband and I got married last November, I wanted to reinstate the tradition.
While we have successfully been able to enjoy dinner together most evenings, at times it can feel rushed due to trying to squeeze in workouts, and chores to get ready for the next day. I was reminded just how sweet a long, slow and relaxing dinner was Thursday evening when we were fortunate enough to have my dad stay with us, and cook us dinner! (best thing ever - I'm totally hiring a personal chef if I ever win the lottery). We enjoyed great food and were able to sit around the table, talk and catch up for a few hours. It was wonderful and a great reminder to slow down every once in awhile.
Tell me, how do you relax everyday with your family?
