Listen "8. Wonder how to keep Family Dinner intentional when busy hits? Get these rhythms and routines from the toddler through the teen years [an INTERVIEW with Jennifer Zumbiel of Togather Moments]"
Episode Synopsis
Do you feel like it is a struggle just to wrangle your toddlers (or teens!) for family meals? If so, Jennifer Zumbiel can relate.
Jennifer has a Bachelor's in Business Administration Marketing from the University of Kentucky and a Master's in Secondary Education from Xavier University. She is the creator and owner of Togather Moments LLC, Togather™ conversation sticker games/tools, and the host of The Families That Stick Togather Podcast.
As a mother of four and a wife of 18 years, she understands how everyday distractions can impact face-to-face communication and threaten the strength of our relationships. She has found a way to help us all to gather with easy meaningful, and fun communication in real-life in the small moments we already have. The mission of Togather™ is to protect the strength of communication within families so that we can protect the strength of the Family the way God intended.
Jennifer has been in the trenches of just trying to get dinner made to now making sure her whole family can find a time to all eat together (amidst afterschool sports and activities). And although her challenges have changed, Jennifer opens up about how she made small yet intentional moments happen in the early years to set her and her family up for the teen years.
With thought-provoking conversation starters your kids can literally peel and stick, Jennifer gives busy moms the ideas we need for becoming more intentional around the table. Plus, Jennifer shares some thoughts on how to incorporate rhythms and routines around the table, like saying grace. So for the mamas who have asked me, "How do we start praying together as a family before a meal," I know this episode hitting on Ash Wednesday is going to be particularly helpful to you.
