Reading your post and coming across that same contest for free groceries made me stop and wonder why does there have to be a"Family Day" and what is it that keeps families from sitting down together for dinner. I have a lot of thoughts on this but two really stick out in my mind.  1) Not all families have the benefit of parents that work the same shifts/hours and 2) Maybe we're overextending our children's extracurricular time so that outside activities overlap dinner times.  I could go on but maybe the comment section is not the place for this.  Just thought I'd get that out there and also let you know that I'm enjoying your halfway to normal blog!
