Yes, these are great! There are two directions -> what you've described, which is preparing YOUR home, when you're hosting. But there's also the other direction, which is preparing OTHER homes, when we're visiting. That's the direction I often hear about from followers.
Good point -- and one I just experienced myself! Do you have any favorite suggestions (besides having your daughter loudly announce to the entire dinner table that her cousins "NEED TO READ MY MOM'S BOOK")?
Thank you for the download of conversation prompts. I love the idea of having the young people be in charge of collecting the phones.
Thanks! If you tried them, i'd love to hear how it went!

Well, your daughter's suggestion is the best one :) I just posted a series of "careful with cousins" posts on social to cover all the holiday angles:
1. Prepare the places we visit: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRf2CZGDfHr/
2. Prepare our kids to visit: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRiLlLHDsfA/
3. Prepare our homes after a visit: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRnrjnVjY9l/
100% yes to all of this. Device-free Thanksgivings for all!
