In the age of smartphones and Netflix it’s becoming increasingly difficult to get the entire family gathered around the table for dinner. How do you compete with all of life’s distractions?

Here are our three tips to help make dinnertime special for your family so you can gather back around the dinner table again.

Celebrate the Little Things

Celebration dinners don’t have to be reserved for the big things in life like birthday or graduations. There’s plenty to celebrate in our daily lives as well! Celebrate the every day milestones in your family’s life. From learning to ride a bike, to bringing home a stellar report card, there’s always something to celebrate with a special meal.

Spice Up the Menu

Get the members of your family involved when planning your weekly menu by letting each person pick one meal a week. This ensures you’ll never have a boring meal and everyone will be more excited to come to the table.

Change the Atmosphere

Changing up the look and feel of your dining room can go a long way in shifting the mood in your household. Playing music and lighting candles can add some nice ambiance to a familiar room while redecorating makes the room feel new again! Many of our customers love the rustic warmth that a barnwood table brings to their dining room.
