Review: The Family Dinner

to Call me old fashioned, but I believe in the mantra that "a family that eats together stays together".

Despite my strong beliefs in this fundamental basic of keeping a family together, it's always easier said than done, especially considering how busy this family of mine can be.

I often face the battle of keeping the kids entertained, while cooking a meal, only to spend 90% of the meal tending to every one's needs (and sometimes whims).  Meal time at my home can be not only discouraging, but stressful. Making it easy for me to seek an easy way out.

Enter my new best friend....The Family Dinner, by Laurie David.

I know it's better not to judge a book by its cover, but I knew this book was going to be great from the minute it arrived. Honestly, it's heavy, durable and has something I especially love...great pictures, making it BEAUTIFUL to look at.

This book is a Must Have! Because it truly has something to offer {beyond it's good looks}.

The concepts shared, although simple, can be life changing -if taken to heart-. This book doesn't preach the importance of family dinner, it shows you the importance of family dinner and how to make it possible {and successful}.

I could continue to rave about this book, but the truth is, my words do it no justice. My stand on the importance of family dinner has not only been made stronger because of this book, but I now have the knowledge and resources to make it happen. The Family Dinner has it all -from beginning to end. Starting with the steps you need to make dinner successful, recipes {that include steps especially for the kids to perform} to dealing with two homes and one dinner table.

Just reading this book, has changed my attitude and made me determined to forgo the easy way out at dinner time. {Changing my mind can be no easy feat, so I can only imagine how much more this book can provide me, as I start implement what I've learned}.

If you struggle with family unity, are at a loss for how to make dinner time worth while {and more meaningful}, this book has your answers...."But you don't have to take my word for it..." take time to read it for yourself...

a {HUGE} Thanks to the Hatchet Book Group for providing me with this book.

I was provided this book, in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

The above is just that, my opinion, and should be regarded as such.
