Sunday Dinners

At my house every Sunday we have a family dinner. It doesn’t matter where we have eaten all week or how busy we are we sit down to a meal together around the table on Sundays. For me it is special because as hard as I try to make sure we all eat together every meal every day there are meals that I eat sitting at my desk. Some days time jut gets away from me.

I want my family to experience the same wonderful time I had when I was growing up. We used to have these huge family meals on the weekends when my dad wasn’t working. It made me feel special and that is what I want for my family. However in today’s busy, connected world it is not always an easy task. I make sure that every Sunday when we sit down to eat the television is turned off, the computer is off, and all cellphones are away from the table. If the phone rings while we are eating then I let the voicemail or the machine get it.

Do you have meals together on the weekends?
