What's For Dinner?

Happy Friday!

As we were eating popcorn on the couch and watching the new movie “The Lost City” last night, we heard a little pitter patter coming from the dining room. We yelled out, “Hey you!” and a moment later, Anna had come running in and jumped in PJ’s lap. She was wide awake.

At this point, the kids had been in bed for over an hour, and we had been watching on our nanny cam that Anna was up in her room putzing around, playing with toys, messing up her covers, etc. All we could do was laugh and smile because damnit she is so cute. Like out of this world. Even when she is naughty and we’re so angry at her, all she has to do is smile and it all melts away. What are we going to do with her?

Meanwhile, I’m feeling so good about the progress we’re making with all the clothes. I am loading all of Anna’s clothes that we’re donating into the car as we speak and just that alone will free up so much weight off my shoulders with how messy our living room is like, all the time. It feels like things are finally coming together and every day another part of a room gets cleaned. If you have young kids, please tell me you know what I’m talking about?

Tonight’s dinner is another Hello Fresh one. It’s almost a month in and I am still swearing by this meal service. PJ asked me the other day if it was as fun to cook these meals that are all laid out for me as it is to cook something that I came up with, and I said yes and no. It’s nice because I don’t have to think about it, I just follow the directions they give and I have all the ingredients there, but there’s almost no room for extra creativity (except I do always add more garlic than the recipe says, because you can never have too much garlic).

So, it doesn’t stretch my culinary skills very much, but in this season of life we’re in, I am okay with that. The most important thing right now is we all eat a nice meal together at the end of the day.

I’m off for the day. Have a great weekend!! xoxo
