Full Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links.
Just to review a bit… Family Dinner Book Club is a monthly book club for your family. On the 15th of each month, we share the title of the book that is being featured. Then, on the 1st of each month we provide all the details for your special club dinner. Sarah from Daisy at Home shares a special menu to compliment the book. And, I will share conversation starters and a service project for your family. Sarah and I will take turns showcasing table decoration crafts to make with the kids.
We invite you to share a picture from your dinner with us anytime during the month on our Family Dinner Book Club Facebook page.
Now, on to all of the details!
Mrs. Piggle Wiggle is the story of a woman who smells of cookies and knows just about everything about children. If a child has a problem, she has a positive solution. This story has entertained children for over 50 years and for good reason. It’s a fun combination of silliness, a lovable main character and lots of problem-solving.
For extra fun, listen to the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle audio book too.
Have the kids create pictures of upside-down houses to use as placemats. If it is too challenging to draw the house upside- down, you can always turn the picture upside-down at the table.
Use tea cups to serve what you are drinking for dinner. Bonus, if you have saucers and spoons.
Scatter a few chocolate golden coins around the table too.
We hope you are inspired to create a fun and meaningful Family Dinner Book Club with your own family. Remember that we want to see pictures of your dinner. Please share them our special Family Dinner Book Club Facebook page.
Join us again next month for another Family Dinner Book Club when we will feature a picture book!

- You have just been invited to Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle’s house for tea and cookies. What will you do while you visit?
Family Service Project
Hubert had more toys than he could play with in his life. My guess is that your kids probably have more than enough toys too. This month talk about how clearing things we no longer need is important for keeping things tidy. Plus, by giving away items we no longer need, we can help others who do need those things. Challenge your child to decide on 1, 2, 3 or more toys that they have out grown and donate them.Table Decorations
Have the kids create pictures of upside-down houses to use as placemats. If it is too challenging to draw the house upside- down, you can always turn the picture upside-down at the table.
Use tea cups to serve what you are drinking for dinner. Bonus, if you have saucers and spoons.
Scatter a few chocolate golden coins around the table too.

Why Hillary Clinton Lost Michigan
Hillary Clinton was expected to win the Michigan primary by 20-percent. But what pollsters failed to take into account was Clinton's honesty problem.
Bernie Sanders absolutely dominated the honest and trustworthy contest.
At the latest Democratic debate, Clinton inaccurately attacked Sanders on his auto bailout vote and it apparently backfired in her face.
Clinton's history of stretching the truth, combined with this latest debate incident, did not bode well for her in the honesty category.
Equally troubling, Clinton has negative favorability ratings. In other words, 53.8-percent of American voters have an unfavorable opinion of her.
Bernie Sanders, on the other hand, is the only candidate, in either party, with a net-positive favorability rating.
Michigan, the largest delegate prize since Texas, went to Bernie Sanders tonight, despite consistent polling that showed Clinton with an insurmountable lead.
Sanders has now won 9 states while Clinton has won 12.
However, the vast majority of Clinton's wins were in southern states, and few of those remain. As the Democratic race shifts away from the deep south, Clinton's firewall is starting to wither, and Sander's viability is looking more and more legitimate.
If Clinton can't win in a diverse state like Michigan, which MSNBC called, "a Petri dish of American's problems," the nomination may finally be slipping out of reach.
