There are times at the end of the week that I realize our family has spent very little quality time together. We’re an active family who loves to spend time together outside, but as the days get shorter and the weather gets chillier, we spend much of our free time indoors where gadgets so easily grab out attention. Does this happen to your family too? Spending time as a family is a special occasion! Family time is a gift.

Family togetherness was a priority for them, but I’m pretty sure that they never read a blog post, book or article for inspiration and ideas (ahem–like somebody I know). We just spent time together as a family. We ate dinner as a family every single night up until I left for college. To be fair, there were less distractions competing for family time back in the 70′s & 80′s. So many things are vying for my family’s attention.
