Since we moved just before the new year, it was a great time to institute any New Years resolutions in our new home. I had many resolutions this year, keeping a tidier home, taking better care of myself (the usual) and family dinners. Prior to this resolution, Kyle and I always ate dinner on the couch while we watched tv. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it made me feel like 1.) we never really talked to each other since the tv was always on and 2.) that we were kinda frumpy by always eating in our laps. So I decided we should start having family dinners at the table with no TV.
Well, we've been at it for a couple weeks now and I could not be more thrilled! It almost feels like we are on a date, every night of the week. We play nice music and enjoy a good long conversation over our meal. Last night we spent two hours at the dinner table because we were so engrossed in conversation. We have both commented on multiple occasions on how much we enjoy our family dinners so this will surely be the norm in our household from now on.
Side note: over the weekend when it rained, and since we don't have any floor mats yet, I threw a beach towel on the floor so we can wipe our feet. Well Lilly has fallen in love with the towel and I can't bare to take it from her. It her new favorite spot to lay. :-)
