I am in the process of writing my first book.
The Family Table Method helps overwhelmed parents use a quick family Fit Test and a 19-minute weekly check-in to build a simple, repeatable meal rotation and meaningful rituals so you can share 3-5 dinners together each week — without boxed meal kits, endless recipes, or unreasonable expectations — and often in less time than placing a takeout order.

I will be looking for input, including stories about family mealtime traditions, struggles you experience, ideas you have incorporated, etc.
Please let me know if you are interested in providing me with input!!

I'm in the process of writing a book and would like to put together a focus group of people that would be willing to serve as advisors and content contributors. The book will follow my passion of bringing families together around the dinner table to build stronger connection and continue family traditions.
If you are interested in helping me, please direct message me by providing your answers to the following questions:
1. Do you feel it is important for families to regularly gather around the family dinner table? Why?
2. Have you struggled with the process of meal planning and preparation? elaborate, please.
3. Can you share a family tradition that you have surrounding mealtime ... certain recipes, stories to tell, rituals? (you don't need to submit it to me yet; just tell me if you are willing to)

Thank you for your consideration!
