The Family Honor Plate

Meet Michelle Weber

I’m the proud mamma of two daughters I absolutely adore. I can’t help but look for and see the beautiful opportunities and blessings that we can too easily miss when focusing on the not so beautiful things. Life is too precious to live it any other way... not to mention, a positive mindset sure makes life a heck of a lot more fun and easier to deal with!

About the plate:

Step #1 MOM AND DAD - BE THE EXAMPLE. BE THE ROLE-MODEL:

The virtues are listed in the center of the plate for mom and dad to use as their anchor, their moral compass to guide them in how they need to show up for and to their children.  This is how our children learn what character (Christ's Character) is, what it looks like, what it feels like. Our children are watching us and learning from us. 

Step #2 BE ON THE LOOKOUT:

Look for the good choices and attitude your kids/spouse are making and showing throughout the day. Track it back to the virtues and character it shows.

Step #3 CELEBRATE THEIR CHARACTER:

Turn dinnertime into a celebration when you catch someone making good choices and showing good character and present their meal on the FAMILY HONOR PLATE.  This is when you:

·      Talk about the choices they made and the virtues and character that it showed (Be specific).

·      Talk about how they made everyone involved feel and the impact they had on people and how that is POWERFUL and BEAUTIFUL.

 About the cards:

Every question is followed up with "Why?" to take everyone's answers to a deeper more intimate level.  That's where the magic is and the real conversation starts. So now when even a simple question such as..."What is your favorite dessert?" for example, rather than someone answering "Apple Pie" and then moving on to the next person, the whole family gets to walk down memory lane because it reminds them of Grandma Smith who always made apple pies with them when they came to visit." Her house always smelled of fresh baked pies and she gave the best hugs when we walked in the door." 

Communication is the key to connecting, building and maintaining healthy relationships.  When we are raise our children to be confident in their ability to communicate with others and get their point across, situations are less stressful and they have better outcomes.

Lot of fun to make with the kids!!!!

My Review

This was such a fun project with grand kids. They are between ages of 4-7. They had a wonderful time doing this project  and talking a lot. The answers kids can come up with can sometimes make ya think.  They had so much fun I let them do one of their own.  The plate was of great quality. The paints and brushes were great. The plate also had a nice easel so you could display your special day.  A time to make memories and learn more about each other. Who would you invite to dinner? Was a question to ask answer was Jesus. Why? Because He loves us! Great answer.. A great fun time ! Be great in every home.
