Dinner’s on the Table
We were recently inspired (well, blown away really) by a book we read that claimed one simple trick can improve the quality of our family life, our children’s chance of success in the world and our values as a society. And amazingly, it’s really simple too.
According to Miriam Weinstein, author of The Surprising Power of Family Meals, eating an everyday dinner with your family is a way to connect with loved ones and improve many aspects of family life. Recognizing that the pressures of today’s 24/7 world, the complications of single-parent and dual-income family households, extracurricular activities and peer pressure have threatened what used to be a universal ritual, she offers inspirational examples and strategies on how to bring family dinners back to our lives.

Think Outside the (Lunch) Box
It’s a fantasy we all have at this time of year—sending our little ones off to school with the perfect lunch tucked away in their bags. It will be homemade, but with little effort. Kid-approved, while meeting Canada’s Food Guide recommendations. Tough enough to last in a hot cloakroom all morning, but sensitive to the surrounding students’ food allergies. Sanitary, but low on disposable packaging.
Meeting all those requirements five days a week? No wonder it’s often only a fantasy.
