Family Supper-Any Day Special Meals

Welcome to Family Supper.  

Today let's talk about making meals fun.

 And maybe a little more special than usual.

I can't help wondering why do we wait until the holidays to do something special.  

When it would be so simple to celebrate something as simple as 
a Sunflower we've grown in the garden.

Sunflowers are super simple to grow.  Toss the seeds in the ground around April or May and then watch them grow. 

Sunflowers are easy to find at your grocers.  Did you know you can ask the attendant to purchase 1 stem.  They will gladly sell you just 1.  

Maybe you don't want to do a big bouquet.  One or two stems make a nice addition to the table.  

There are tons of crafty ideas to find.    Gather some paints and paper or card stock and have the kids make a painting while dinner is on the stove.  

Or go an even easier and cleaner route; provide paper and glue

Kids love to create.  Making some creative decorations for your super simple family dinner is fun for everyone. 

Having a creative fun Supper Time with the family

is a simple as 

These days the kids are so busy with electronics that sometimes it's hard to drag them away.  I deal with that on the days my grandson visits us.  

It's super easy to just allow them to babysit themselves with their games and videos.  And then hand them a frozen pizza on a paper plate. 

Taking an extra step and planning a craft project or making a simple meal fun . . . 

Is a simple way to bring the family together and start a new tradition of Family Supper.
