History Bites

Recent research concludes that eating one meal as a family everyday can increase a child’s ability to stand up for what they believe. It also is a fabulous place to talk to your kids about your moral views, and discuss each others passions. One of  my passions is history. But it hasn’t always been. I used to think that history bites – boring and unuseful. Now, however, as I learn more, I am surprised by how cyclical history really is. Without learning from past mistakes, we are inviting those mistakes to repeat in our posterity. We must know our history to make these corrections. Plus its just plain fun when you learn history through stories. So I am creating this blog to record bite size pieces of history that you can share with your family during those meals when you’re together. Print them out or retell these stories and watch how yummy history can become!
