On page 1A of today's StarTribune newspaper: Family Ties: Trying to Reclaim Time Together.
Some Twin Cities parents were astounded a few years ago when their worries about their children's hectic lives caught the nation's attention. Their rethinking of school, sports and music activities that sent their kids -- and the family minivan -- hustling from one appointment to another seemed to speak to tired families everywhere. Putting Family First is the group that grew from that early concern about overscheduled and underconnected lifestyles. And those families were not alone. Across the country, other people were using words like "time famine" as they fretted over bad eating habits, work-family pressures and anxious parenting. Web sites were born, bestsellers written. Now, "Take Back Your Family Time," a series of events next week in the Twin Cities, will be part of a nationwide effort to help people reclaim their leisure time.
Among those featured in the piece is the family of fellow PFF blogger Sue Kakuk.
