We have been very much caught up in the little things around here. I like the little things so I’m not complaining. I feel like God is teaching me things I want to blog about, but I can’t quite get here to write it all down. No matter. It will come.
We do still eat though. I have made out my menu week after week, but obviously haven’t always taken the time to put it here. I may need to simplify my methods. Explanations aren’t always necessary. They are fun though. This week we’ll try to simplify and we’ll only add the things that are going on that day and it may or may not seem obvious as to why I chose the meals I chose.

Yesterday, Ivan asked what we would do for Mother’s Day and Kris said, “whatever mommy wants.” Ivan had an idea. “How about we let mommy choose whichever Star Wars movie she wants to watch.”
so generous.
