COME SAY HI

I’m not a morning person. But most of my kids lo

I’m not a morning person. But most of my kids love breakfast. I go through spurts of being great at making it and then lots of here’s some cold cereal.

This breakfast is one lately we’ve been loving. It takes a little longer so I make it on non school days. 😜

I shared the whole steps in my stories today and saved it in a bubble so you can watch it later.

I know morning gatherings with my kids are good. We do scriptures together around the table. And some days it’s a gong show. But trying again and again is important. The effort. That’s doing my best.

Now go try this for supper, if your not a morning person, like me. 😜

Do you encourage your kids to gather others? This

Do you encourage your kids to gather others? This girl is totally a planner. She loved a party like I do. But I was stalling letting her plan her party. It just seemed like too much work 🤣

But one day my hubby said “yeah she just wants a party for now reason…. I wonder who that’s like?!” 😉

So then I realized that if I just helped her to simplify (way less kids and way simpler activities) and that she could do most of the work, then it’s be good.

We built our home to have people over. To host. And I wish my bigger kids did it more. So maybe it’s better to start younger. To encourage from a young age. And it was a way to help her learn skills.

So that’s a win win.

Every time I get a new whack of followers on here

Every time I get a new whack of followers on here I seem to take a few days struggling with what to post. Which I didn’t realize until it happened again this past week. It’s funny that I was subconsciously behaving a certain way and not realizing it.

So instead, I’ll just share why I am here and why I share mixed with a few things I believe.

I believe in gathering with food. I share a lot about food. Recipes and things we've eaten. I think food is fun. And I love good food. But all the food I make, is made to share. I believe food is a vehicle to connection with others.

I believe in family. I think no one is as important as my eternal connections made with my family. I believe in marriage. Having a built in best friend to support and walk thru life together. Nothing is better.

I believe in putting out goodness into the world. If I can make someone's day brighter or better in anyway, I want too. With kindness, happiness, empathy and full stomaches.

I believe in friendship. We need true connection with others. And we have to share with each to find it.

I believe in the power of creation. Creating art, creating the life you want, creating just because it brings joy to life.

l'm gonna keep sharing food but I'm gonna keep talking about my family, and faith, and Jesus, and painting and friendship & connection. And whatever other random things come into my head in a day. 😉

I’m glad you’re here. But above all I hope we actually connect. After a that’s why where get on here.

So now, tell me something you believe in.

I have a challenge for you. Gather some people in

I have a challenge for you.
Gather some people into your home. Find someone who is feeling lonely or going thru something hard. And invite them over. You don’t have to make them food if you don’t want too. I always make food be sure I think that’s fun. But stop by a store or pick up some food from a seller.
Lately, when the world feels heavy and things are hard, we need each other.
So my challenge for you is to find someone in need of friendship and invite them over.
It’ll help you as much as it helps them.
Will you try it?
