Family, Fun, And Favorite Recipe Friday

Posted by Admin on March 07, 2023

Hello, and happy Friday, my friends! I hope you had a lovely week and are ready for an even better weekend. We had a nice week here, filled with family, food, and fun. You know, I wish I could talk to my younger mom self and tell her that her fear of her little ones growing up was completely unfounded and unnecessary. My little ones are now 26, 22, 20, and 13, and we have as much fun together as we did all those years ago.

For instance, Madison's husband Nicolas organized Nico's Movie Club, and every few weeks or so, anyone interested is invited to attend! We take turns hosting, and this past week we watched the movie at Peyton and Chris's house. Peyton made the best homemade pizza/ham and cheese pockets with a salad and her famous chocolate chip cookie skillet. Rhett always supplies popcorn he picks up at the movie theatre. I usually wear my cozy clothes and bring a blanket. I am so thankful that all of the kids love spending time together, and including Mom and Dad as well!

We finished one of the best trilogies I have ever seen. If you still need to watch these movies, you can start this weekend! (It's not for the little ones, so wait until after bedtime.)

Also this week, Steve's sister Sally, one of the very best people I know, and her awesome husband Greg ( He reads here...Hi Greg! ) had all of us in for dinner. Sally's house is the coziest home ever, and she and Greg treated us to a wonderful night complete with chicken and waffles, fun and games, and a delicious chocolate lasagna dessert. It was the best evening with all of us cozy and together.

These are just a couple examples of how awesome grown children are! So fear not, young mothers. Your littles grow. And it is really ok.

And finally, I did cook this week. And this was a favorite.
