…and amazing things will happen.
have you seen this?
we got this awesome gift, for christmas, from my dear friend, steph and we absolutely love it. we bring it to the dinner table every single night. actually, the kids are so excited about it, they bring it to the table. each person gets a turn to pick and read a card (ryder needs a bit of help still). then we go around the table and each person takes a turn answering the question. we do this until each person got to pick a card. last night, our questions were:
who do you sorely miss?
what’s the nicest thing you’ve ever done for someone?
have you ever stood up for something you thought was right?
if you were going to create a new holiday, what would it be and how would you celebrate it?
would you rather be smarter, more athletic or better looking?
in discussing our answers to the above questions, there was a lot of talk last night about being kind, doing the right thing and working hard.

i love this so much…want to print his quote out. it’s amazing. and i love the table topics cards. we always go around and everyone shares what made them happy and sad during the day but this gives a great opportunity to talk about important things. very cool.
I did see that, and I never thought Conan would make me emotional. It was so simple yet profound.
I love the cards idea to spark converstaion!
I love these little cubes of conversation….I started giving them as gifts to friends several years ago ( I still have a secret stash in the closet of the different varieties….the one for teens is really fun for my girls)
My youngest made the comment, “We should do this EVERY night!” Now the challenge is getting everyone to the table at the same time……ah, high school schedules…they will make you crazy!
