Tableware Brings Tradition and Thanks Back to Mealtime

RICHMOND, Va. - May 19, 2015 - PRLog -- We’ve all heard of “the good ‘ole days,” when family members gathered around the dinner table together, gave thanks for their meal, and shared the news of their day with each other while the sun sank low in the sky, beckoning a quiet night of tranquility and rest. We might even remember them from our own childhood.

Unfortunately, those days are hard to come by in today’s world, with our super busy schedules, crazy competitive youth sports and high tech gadgets that connect us to work and chatter - 24/7. We’re lucky if we can eat a “family dinner” with at least one other person we’re related to once or twice a week.

But one company is making a step to challenge this lifestyle and inviting you to come onboard, too.

It’s called Grace Settings, a whimsical collection of personalized melamine prayer plates and bowls, and laminated placemats. Each item features a mealtime prayer, is custom-designed, extremely durable, easily cleaned, and very adorable. The owner’s vision is to create products that kids and parents love, and bring family mealtime “back to the basics,” establishing the tradition of eating together and fostering gratitude in your child’s heart.

Even on the busiest days, you can teach your child to stop and give thanks to God for daily food. It’s a habit of gratitude that can grow in your child’s heart and last throughout a lifetime.

Owner Mandy Fristoe says that, when she had her first child, she looked for fun tableware that included a prayer, but couldn’t find any. So, she decided to design and market them herself.

“I wanted to help bring back the tradition of saying grace at each and every meal,” Fristoe says. “As our lives become filled with more hustle and bustle, we become less centered around God and family. Mealtime provides a good time to pause and be thankful for both.”

Fristoe offers dozens of fresh and fun designs, and she’ll work with each customer to create a piece that fits the personality of the child – from a fluttering butterfly to a silly monkey to a superfast racecar, and lots more. Plus, there are ten mealtime prayers to choose from, or you can write your own, so you can select the one you love the most for your family. The items are competitively priced and will last as keepsakes.

Mandy Fristoe is the owner of Grace Settings and designs each piece to individual customer preferences. She lives in Richmond, Virginia with her husband, two sons, and two dogs, Harley and Knox.
