The Daily Question Conversation Card Set

We love asking questions around the dinner table every night. It's a tradition that we've been enjoying for several years. I could not be more excited when this little box showed up on our doorstep. Here's how you know that it's something worth getting, our teenager often reaches for the box to be able to be the one to pick out the evening question and she often picks out more than one. There are five categories and they are separated by tabbed cards making it easy to choose which topic to discuss. The questions are open-ended and because there are so many of them, there's always another one if you don't like the one you pulled.

From the creator:

With one question on each beautifully designed card, this unique deck offers individuals and families a launching pad to topics in five categories--Family & Friends, Fun & Entertainment, Faith, Travel, and Then & Now:

  •  What is something you own that is really old and why do you hang on to it?
  •  When do you feel closest to God?
  •  What is the best advice you've ever gotten?
  •  What do you wish people knew about you?
  •  What is the hardest thing about being a person of faith in today's culture?

Packaged in a handy box with category tabs for easy reference, these conversation cards are the ideal companion for family dinners, road trips, small groups, and book clubs. Whether the conversations are thought-provoking or just good for a laugh, all of the questions will encourage lasting memories.

I highly recommend this great box of questions. We just keep it open on the dining room table, ready to start a conversation whenever we sit down together for a meal or snack.

I received this product from Ink & Willow for the purpose of review. I am never required to say something positive but I'm always thankful when I can.

Hospitality for the Rest of Us: Long Distance

People are moving more and more. When I was a youngster, it was a rare instance for a friend to move away. Now it's me that moves away. We've moved a lot, especially when we first got married. It was something like five addresses and three states in the first four years of our marriage. We've slowed down a bit. In the midst of all that moving, we've made some friends along the way. I try to keep an open line in case of times of grief and celebration. One of the best tools I've found for keeping in touch with loved ones far away is Facebook. As much time as I could spend doing other things instead of checking it, it's the best thing I've found. It allows me to communicate with others, without having to call. I know calling is amazing, hearing people's voices, but for introverts, there are no body language clues for us to pick up on that help make our conversations easier. It's also why we prefer to video chat :-) Back to Facebook, some etiquette.

Stories from the Kitchen: Taste and See

I celebrated my birthday last weekend. It was wonderful and the leftovers left me with a question or two. Find out what they are and how I'm currently answering them in this week's podcast.

Tasty Tuesday: Roasted Broccoli

I ran across this recipe on Pinterest the other day that was labeled " The Best Broccoli Of Your Life. " I normally either steam our broccoli in the microwave or saute it with olive oil and red pepper flakes on the stove top. I decided this would be something to try. I did the salt, pepper and olive oil part of the recipe. I didn't have the majority of the other ingredients. In fact, all I had was a little bit of Parmesan It was wonderful. Not the best broccoli of my life, but honestly, it was pretty close. And if I had the lemon juice and all that jazz, it may very well be the best. What have you been eating lately?
