Growing up, dinnertime in my family was a time for us all to sit down and share about our days. It was a great way to connect after a busy day and I appreciate that my parents tried to make sure we had family meals as much as possible. Now that I have children of my own, being able to sit down as a family at mealtime has become something that is very important to me as well. That's why I was excited when I learned Stouffer's has the same view.

STOUFFER'S understands that when families come together at dinnertime, wonderful things can happen. That's why they were more than happy to team up with Todd Parr, award-winning author and illustrator, to create a new children's book called Let's Fix Dinner. They have also teamed up with Habitat for Humanity to help those a little less fortunate be able to experience the many benefits of a family dinner. All net proceeds of the Let's Fix Dinner book will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.

I was excited to learn that we were going to have the opportunity to review the Let's Fix Dinner book. Not only are we big into reading to our kids, but I loved the idea behind this book and couldn't wait to check it out.

When it arrived I was immediately impressed with the quality. I did not expect it to be a hardcover book. I know this may seem like a small thing...but hardcover books always last longer in our household, so I thought this was fantastic!

Kaelyn spotted it right away and wanted to read it together. Of course, I happily said 'yes'. We were both very happy with the colorful pages. They are bright and inviting....something young children will love! The easy-to-read text is also great, as it makes it simple for kids to follow along and understand.
Best of all, the wonderful message is much appreciated. It's a cute story that makes us giggle and grin, while making us think about all the ways dinner can bring families closer together.

Along with the book, we received a set of four placemats, custom-designed by Todd Parr himself! They are fun and make dinnertime even more fun for kids. Kaelyn absolutely loves hers and doesn't like to eat at the table without it now!

We are really happy with the Let's Fix Dinner book. It's very kid-friendly with its bright, colorful pages and simple text...and the message it conveys is great! It's truly a celebration of all the wonderful things that can happen around the dinner table.
