A Retro Kitchen And a Retro Apron

The fun of designing your retro kitchen is one thing. The joy of using it is another. When you work in the kitchen, wearing a great apron can make you feel good.

Sometimes, I just not in the mood to cook, or clean the kitchen, but putting on one of my favorite retro aprons seems to make it all the more worthwhile to be in my kitchen.

A friend of mine got me started with vintage and retro aprons. She gave me my first retro apron to go in my retro kitchen. Since, then I have added many myself and received more as gifts.

Alright, I do admit that I usually wear one of my aprons when I'm the hostess. It just seems to dress up the fun of entertaining. But, I do also wear a retro apron just because.

My friend, known as KitchenTricks, has created a whole page on vintage aprons. So many great choices just for the fun of looking and feeling great.

When you are in your own retro kitchen, try dressing up in a retro apron to enjoy yourself just a bit more.

Great Family Communication Game

Hi, all!

I'm quite excited about this one. I was so thrilled to find the perfect game for a family. But, it's not so much a game, but a challenge.

Have you heard of TableTopics? It's a entire series of activities. Actually conversation starters, is what I would call them. The editions include everything from Bridal Shower through Couples, dinner parties, teens, college, etc.

My favorite is the TableTopics Family edition. It's designed to open conversation for families with school age children. The questions are safe and interesting. "Would you rather have a good friend or be a good friend?" What a great question for kids of all ages.

The "game" comes with 138 questions on individual cards with a square plastic cube to hold them in. This cube is attrative enough to sit on the dining table, ready to pull a question out at a moment's notice. Imagine the fun with the family when you set up a conversational dinner rather than an "I dunno" answer to everything.

That's what I found when my family started actively enjoying this game.

Find out lots more about TableTopics Family edition. And get your own copy to help your family have a more enjoyable dinner, bedtime, car trip, anytime you need an activity to keep everyone happy!

Enjoy yourself and be sure to let me know what your family thinks of TableTopics.

Until next time,

Susan
