Even though I’m married to an ex-high school quarterback and am mothering our pint-sized progeny who can really tear it up on the turf himself, I don’t know squat about the rules of football. Sure, I can tell when a touchdown is scored and can sense when something is going badly based on the crowd’s rowdy reaction. Other than these obvious tip-offs, I’m a failure at football fandom -- except when it comes to tailgating.

Sitting down with family at the dinner table is something I have been doing my whole life. My mother made dinner nearly every night of my childhood and we always dined together as a family unit. I carried this tradition into my adult
life cooking and dining with my husband and children. I never realized how beneficial family dinner can be for children until reading up about National Family Day September 23^rd.

One thing that most people know about me is that I have an absolute love for traveling. Near. Far. It doesn't matter. Buy me a plane ticket and I'm off. One of the main reasons that I love to travel so much is to experience different cultures. It doesn't matter if you stay within the states or you travel abroad, the world is full of amazing cultures to experience and learn about.
