What's for Dinner: January 23 - January 29
* image
For the first time in a while, we had a busy weekend for social reasons. Our daughter had two birthday parties on her calendar. And, to make it work, my husband and I had to do a bit of juggling.
I drove her to Saturday's party, and he took her to today's. We directed a lot of our time and attention to making sure she had what she needed for the parties. Because of that, I think our son may have gotten the short end of the stick.
So I made an extra effort to make our time super special while it was just the two of us in the house. He had the run of the show.
He wanted to stay in pajamas all day. ✅ He wanted to snuggle on the couch and watch TV together. ✅ He wanted to eat snacks and drink hot cocoa. ✅
It was such a low-key afternoon, but it was exactly what we both needed.
Now it's time to shift gears and tackle my usual Sunday evening to-dos. Like making dinner... If you're curious to see what's on deck for dinner at our house this week, then keep reading!
