#22 Holiday Giveaway Week: The Family Dinner

            

Giveaway number twenty two is one that is near and dear to my heart – The Family Dinner: Great Ways to Connect with Your Kids, One Meal at a Time. The Family Dinner is a beautiful hard copy book by Laurie David – the producer of the Academy Award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth and the founder of the Stop Global Warming Virtual March.

Three lovely readers will receive their very own copy of The Family Dinner, giving you the perfect green guide to the most important hour in any family’s day: the dinner hour.

The Family Dinner: Great Ways to Connect with your Kids, One Meal at a Time is a collection of over 75 kid approved fantastic recipes, conversation starters, games to play at the table, ways to share gratitude and tips on teaching green values.

If there is one thing that my family has done right – and maybe it is the only thing {wink}, we have had a sit down dinner almost every night of Eben’s life. Eating dinner together has always been the most important time that we spend together as a family. It gives us a chance to reconnect at the end of the day, try new foods together, teach Eben’s manners (we are still working on this one) and communicate with each other.

What we are learning as we devour our copy of The Family Dinner is that there are many creative, fun ways for us to bond over dinner – that we haven’t tried yet.

Eben loves the Kids in the Kitchen section and Table Talk so these two sections have been very important to us. I want Eben to grow up knowing how to prepare his own meals, so that he can keep the ritual of the family dinner alive and well in his own family. And I think that the Table Talk section will remain extremely important once he hits the pre-teen and teenager years. Our goal is to keep the family conversation flowing.

Does your family eat dinner together every night? Would you like to start? Looking for ideas to keep dinner time fun, while making a lasting impact on your family? The Family Dinner is a beautiful book that you will definitely want to add to your bookshelf.

Jump over to The Family Dinner where you will find great tips and stories. You can also pick up a couple of copies to give as gifts to families that you love!  You have 1 week to enter – tell your family and friends so they don’t miss out on the fun!

– The winners are Megan Burger, Wendy @ ABCGP and ilaybalilay. Thank you for playing!
