Published on July 7th, 2014 The dynamic of a family is changing and we see it every day in the world around us. We are no longer a society of the family equation being: 1 mom + 1 dad + 2 kids = family. We see it in movies, tv shows, among our friends and family and now some well-known brands are catching on and trying to attract this important modern family consumer group to their products.
