What's This About?
​

• What's this about?  We think family meals should be a bit more frequent and a bit more fun, meaningful, stress-free, and healthier.  This community will try and help move family meals in that direction.
• Who's this for? Anyone - Big families, small families, couples, & singles who eat with others
• When are family meals? Anytime - Breakfast, snacks, dinner, holiday meals
• Where are they? Anywhere - Home, restaurants, even schools (even a packed lunch can make your happy, loving presence felt).
• Why have them?  Your kids might just feel a little more connected, your spouse might feel a little perkier, and you might even feel a little more appreciated and in control.
Together, we can our family meals more fun and foolproof so we can make them a little more meaningful and frequent.
