We rest in the memories that remain - not in posed photos absent of emotion - and the stories that come out so naturally when we take the time to relax and connect, often in the comfort of our own homes.

Yet when was the last time you actually did that as a family? Tossed aside the to-do list, threw the cell phones + iPads in your sock drawer in order to simply BE? Together. Unfiltered. Real. You know… like a family pajamas day?

In our current culture, simple afternoons or evenings around the table over a game, puzzle or a home-cooked meal are rare and being replaced by a general acceptance of massive amounts of screen time, eating out in noisy restaurants or frantic drive-through dinners, and more texting than actual talking. True or true? And… do you want that to be YOUR family’s story?
