I wanted to get a family picture of our kids at th I wanted to get a family picture of our kids at the table - got this instead. 🙄 We had a discussion at our dinner table last night that we haven’t eaten this many meals together as a family in 15 years. Our oldest is 20 and when he started hockey at 5 it was the start of the “after school” activity and the end of many family dinners. Then came gymnastics, skating, dance, boxing - getting in one family meal a week was a miracle. In early 2020 with 2 adult children and one away at school, I thought family dinner was now obsolete. Funny how things work out... The positives of isolation with teens and young adults. 😌 . . . . . . #familydinner #familytime #lifewithteens #momofteens #momtoteens #momlife #mommablogger #middleagemom #teen #love #teenagers #youngadults #parentingteens #raisingteens #staypositive #motherhoodintheraw #happymom #icookweeat #italianweddingsoup
