From a House to a Home: Great Ideas for Decorating the Home, Feeding the Family and Making the Most of Time-Off

By Jemima Mills

Book Overview

No matter how much life changes, one thing remains a comforting constant: the family. Strengthen the bond between generations and turn family time into quality time with these innovative ideas for group activities. Make meals the anchor of daily life...even if busy schedules won't allow everyone to come together every day. Recipes for quick, wholesome foods let you focus on each other, not cooking, while delicious-sounding snacks (like "the best apple pie ever!") and elaborate dinners for more leisurely moments will entice everyone to the table. Turn off that TV and have some family fun with creative playtime suggestions for all ages. Try out holiday beach and country pursuits (including ones for those rainy days), and see how to give everyone that quiet "time out" we all occasionally need. And, don't forget the toys, stories, and rituals that make bathtime and bedtime something special enough for children to remember always!
