I love all the responses. I'm old-fashioned, too. I try to recreate a little of the simpler times by doing a lot of hand quilting, sewing a bit on a treadle machine, and I've always read to my kids - even when they are 16 years old! Reading together - something a little above their reading level - broadens our vocabularies, gets the kids away from phones and computers, and exposes us to some wonderful classic stories. I cook from scratch, keep a small farm, and hope very much to pass on some old-fashioned values to kids and grandkids.
