Stephenson Family Ties

Several months ago, I was talking to a group of soccer moms and dads on the sidelines before the match began. The talk turned to dinnertime and every single person in the group was slackjawed when I said (in answer to a direct question) that I cook dinner every night. This was a group of doctors, lawyers, corporate executives, and accountants. They told me how hard they found the whole concept of putting a meal on the table. The refrigerator was empty. The kids were coming and going. No one really knew how to cook. I admit to stammering a bit as I shared about menu planning, grocery lists, and regular dinner times. It’s not brain surgery or international law. Making family dinners happen does require sound management with a generous dash of creativity.

Come on moms and dads of the world...we know this is important!!  Its important here...in our empty nest. And Im trying to do better for My Builder!!
