these are really great tips. we are really bad for watching TV at the supper table. We always eat together at the table, and i have a rule that there are no phones allowed. I love getting Palmer to help me too! She loves sitting at the island with me while I prepare dinner!

Thanks again for linking up with the Saturday Spotlight!! XO

I really like this idea of families eating together. Growing up, this is what I was used to and we usually used this time to connect with each other and actually talk.

Love this! My daughter is really starting to enjoy helping cook and prepare meals. We are guilty of movies during dinner at times, but that’s only on special occasions when we have movie night. We almost always sit down as a family.

Table time has always been important family time. My husband (the only one with a smart phone) doesn’t bring it to the table, no reading at the table and respectfully listening to each other talk.

I’m a big fan of #3 but I am so guilty of it too. I really want to work on this one. Dinner time is always so perfect for sharing our days and just hanging out as a family. I really don’t want to miss any of it :).

Meal planning together is something I never thought of…now to see if my hubby would get on board. If not, maybe my three-year old would have suggestions for me.

Totally agree with technology-free & engaging each other.

I love this so, so much!! I remember my family having dinner every night when I was growing up and I remember I looked forward to it as a child. I notice that when both me and my husband sit down to have dinner with our sons and no one looks at a phone, it’s AWESOME. I love the engagement and we all laugh so much. Thank you for sharing these tips, I’m inspired to start making it more of a habit!

I love these and you’re right… we have to start these habits early.

Technology is a biggie. I see it in restaurants all the time. I don’t want technology at my dinner table and it starts with role modeling.

Great post Stephanie!

Thanks for sharing.

I agree that it’s never too early to start encouraging good habits! I’m sure your baby loves “chatting” and eating with you two
