Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Do you eat meals as a family on a regular basis? The evening meal at my dining table is a favorite daily activity for my family. We use the table for a lot of different things throughout the day. I sit at one end to do my computer work. The boys use the other end to do school work. We put our things away every afternoon and set the table for dinner. We enjoy sitting together and talking. We tell each other what we are thankful for. We talk about our day. We make plans. It’s an important part of our communication system. Let’s face it. Boys are not difficult to include in family conversations when you put food in front of them. They are like a captive audience. Spend some time today decluttering and decorate your dining table. Start using it daily, if you aren’t already doing that. If you are saving your dining table and dishes for “special company” remember that your family members are your most important people in the world.
Have a great week-end!
If you have any questions or tips, please email me. I enjoy hearing from my readers.
