My entire family gathered around the dinner table\u2026 it’s a reoccurring dream I have often. Talking, laughing, passing food to one another – really and truly enjoying one another’s company. Unfortunately, busy schedules make it nearly impossible for us as a family to eat together every night for dinner. Like most families we are juggling work, sports, tutoring and more. But just because we can’t eat dinner together every night doesn’t mean I have to give up on my dream of family meals completely. I’ve learned if you want something bad enough, you have to make it happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course it was disappointing when obligations began to prevent us from eating dinner together, but there are at least two other meals during the day. So, taking a cue from my own childhood – we’ve made breakfast the time when we gather and eat together as a family. There are fewer side dishes (and a lot more syrup) involved, but we are still talking, laughing and enjoying one another’s company. Not to mention, it’s a great way to start the day.<\/p>\n

So, if you’re struggling trying to make family dinner work, make the change – choose your meal. It’s not important whether you’re eating breakfast, lunch or dinner together…what’s important is that you\u2019re taking the time, any time, to eat together and spend time together – as a family.<\/p>\n
