How ironic to be given this book as a gift just as my children are reaching adulthood and about to take flight from their dysfunctional nest!!
The book is a delightful read with so many practical ideas to enrich family life and fun tips to encourage communication and celebrate each others gifts.
This is a positive and optimistic book with subtle reminders that other families also have their own struggles in life to overcome. (Ah, so everyone else isn't perfect!)
Despite the age of my children I still have a few teenage years to try out some of these ideas, which I'm really looking forward to, especially dressing like a `proper mummy'!! I just know my daughter would love that. Before that though I'm going to try the decision making agreement before the next late night party is upon us.
I've no doubt the book will inspire sunny, happy families who not only appreciate and love each other but also remember to tell each other too.

This book was given to me as a gift and I have since had to hide it from friends intent on stealing it. It is now on several birthday / christmas lists.
Much of it seems obvious, but it serves as a fantastic and creative reminder to do just as the title suggests. It is so easy to be carreid away by the daily routines, organising, planning and tasks that we can so easily forget what should be the most important thing in our life. Many of the ideas have been put into use in my own chaotic and loud family (three children, 5 yrs and under). Thinking about and listing the qualities of each child (and even husband) makes it so mush easier to appeciate and admire them as increadable individuals. As my children get older I am also looking forward to implimenting many of the other ideas, such as family meetings or 'listing' what each member feels 'family' is to them,(or should be).
This book can be used for families with children of all age groups, there really is somthing for everyone. I defy anyone to read it and not be inspired to put at least one suggestion to use.

Sometimes it's easy to get swept up in day to day stuff and forget to spend time appreciating what is really important to us. This book captures the love and richness of family life and gives practical ways of helping us to remember and take time to apreciate those around us. It's a great, unputdownable, heartwarming read, no family should be without one!
