Dreams Around the Family Table #FamilyDinnerTable

Dreams.  We all have them, but where do they begin and how do we reach them?  I am a firm believer that there is nothing more important than time spent around the family table. It is not only where our family is nurtured, it is where dreams are born. 

Many times when we think about the words dream and future, we immediately relate it to future generations.  We think of our children and their dreams and how we can inspire them.  But dreaming isn’t  just for kids.  My dream started with my family around our kitchen table.  The day my oldest left for college, she inspired me to start a blog called Family Foodie.  Beyond my wildest dreams,  I could never have imagined the future that was ahead of me.

This is why I am so passionate about time Around the Family Table!  It is such a powerful tool that is about so much more than just the food!

I am honored to be visiting  the American Family Insurance DreamBank in Madison, Wis. on October 13th.  I will be talking about my dreams and will host a live #SundaySupper Back to the Family Dinner Table cooking event with tips to plan easy weekly dinners for busy families. The event is free to the public will be broadcast on a Google Plus Hangout.  I would love to have you all join me!
