If you’re looking for a way to slow dinner down or a way to make family time a little special, why not try a seasonal center piece or nature tray for your table? The children can be a part of gathering things, or (as we are finding at school) they love the surprise of what adults place on the trays. We light the candle on the tray before we sing our lunch song, then enjoy our meal together. The children blow out the candle when the meal is done and we begin clearing the table. Family life can be very busy, especially for those where one or both parents work outside the home. It is nice to slow down and make our time together something sacred.
