If you didn’t already know, Dream Dinners is a franchise and we have stores all over the nation.  Dream Dinners recently launched a BLOG,  and I read this great post that had ideas of how to start conversations with your family.  Here are the ideas that Stacey Seybold Hiller, M.S.,CCC-SLP, Pediatric Speech Language Pathologist and 0wner, Dream Dinners of Indianapolis, IN gave.

What is one thing you couldn’t live without?

I love sitting around the table talking about everything and nothing.  My extended family gets together at my mothers house once a month and we always seem to jump from topic to topic and most people (including my husband) have a hard time keeping up.  When we go to his parents house it is a little calmer and more organized conversation.  I  remember the first time I had dinner with hia family and we were newly dating we played “Two Truths and a Lie”  where eveyone at the table says 2 things about themselves that are true and one thing that is not.  It is a great way to get to know new things about people.  Even now, 5 years later, we still talk about that dinner and the things people said.

I definately recomend finding a way to get the people you love most talking and even if you don’t have to force conversation sometimes its fun to just try something new.
